When the inside of a planet cools enough, no more molten rock reaches the surface.When the inside of a planet cools enough, no more molten rock reaches the surface.

10. Weather or small impacts break down rocks.Weather or small impacts break down rocks. The broken material is moved by a group of processes called erosion.The broken material is moved by a group of processes called erosion. The material may form dunes, new layers of rock, or other features.The material may form dunes, new layers of rock, or other features.

18. Beyond Mars stretches the outer solar system where the four largest planets slowly orbit the sun. Beyond Mars stretches the outer solar system where the four largest planets slowly orbit the sun. We call these planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, the gas giants. We call these planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, the gas giants.

19. The gas giants are made mainly of hydrogen, helium, and other gases. The gas giants are made mainly of hydrogen, helium, and other gases.

20. When you think of gases, you probably think of Earth’s air, which is not very dense. When you think of gases, you probably think of Earth’s air, which is not very dense. However, the giant planets are so large and have such huge amounts of these gases that they have a LOT of mass. However, the giant planets are so large and have such huge amounts of these gases that they have a LOT of mass.

21. The HUGE gravitational force from such a large mass is enough to pull the gas particles close together and make the atmosphere very dense.The HUGE gravitational force from such a large mass is enough to pull the gas particles close together and make the atmosphere very dense.
