Question

HURRY!! PLEASE HELP WILL MAKE BRAINIEST ANSWER
A science student creates this table contrasting the four outer planets.

Where is the error in the student’s table?

A.The planet sizes are switched.
B.The rotation speed of Uranus and Saturn are switched.
C.The rotation speed of Jupiter and Saturn are switched.
D.The atmospheric compositions are switched.

Answer 1

The rotation speed of Jupiter and Saturn are switched.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is Option C.

Explanation:

There are 4 outer planets in Our solar system which is Jupiter, Saturn , Uranus and Neptune.

Jupiter: The size of this planet is the largest of all the outer planets. The rotational period of this planet is 9 hrs 54 min and its atmosphere is mainly made up of Helium and Hydrogen.

Saturn: The size of this planet is the second largest of all the outer planets. The rotational period of this planet is 10 hrs 42 min and its atmosphere is made up of Hydrogen and Helium.

Uranus: The size of this planet is the third largest of all the outer planets. The rotational period of this planet is 17 hrs 12 min and its atmosphere is made up of Methane gas.

Neptune: The size of this planet is the smallest of all the outer planets. The rotational period of this planet is 16 hrs 6 min and its atmosphere is made up of Methane gas.

Order of size of the planets: Jupiter > Saturn > Uranus > Neptune

Order of rotation period of the planets: Uranus > Neptune > Saturn > Jupiter.

Jupiter has the fastest and Uranus has the slowest rotation.

Hence, the answer to this question is Option C.
