Some Asteroids ( Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/JAXA/ESA) The asteroid belt lies between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter. In this specific region, you will find the vast majority of asteroids. These asteroids are also known as minor planets or planetoids. Some of the main bodies in the asteroid belt are Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, Juno, and Hygiea. Ceres is the only asteroid that is classified as a dwarf planet, as it is the largest object in the inner solar system. Ceres and these four asteroids comprise about half the mass of the entire asteroid belt. The entire belt is made up of billions of bodies, but only 7,000 have received an official designation. Asteroids vary in size. Some of them are as small as pebbles and some of them have a diameter of more than 400 km. __________________ El cinturón de asteroides se encuentra entre las órbitas de los planetas Marte y Júpiter.

Picture by/Imagen de Christina Balit In ancient Rome, Jupiter was the king of the gods and the god of sky, lightning and thunder. He was the chief deity of Roman state religion throughout the Republican and Imperial eras, until Christianity became the dominant religion of the Empire. The Romans regarded Jupiter as the equivalent of the Greek Zeus, and after the fusion, became also the god of law, order and justice. He was the son of Saturn and Ops, and like in Greek mythology he defeated his father. The day of the week Jueves derives from him. He presided the realm of the sky. __________________ En la antigua Roma, Júpiter era el rey de los dioses y el dios del cielo, los relámpagos y los truenos.

Jupiter is the fifth planet in distance from the sun. It is part of the so-called gaseous planets. It is the largest of the planets in the Solar System. It is known for its stripped atmosphere. One of the most marked features is the Great Red Spot, which has been known since 1664. Jupiter's atmosphere does not have a clear boundary with the liquid inside the planet. It is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, and contain traces of methane, water vapor, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide. In the planet's interior we find hydrogen, helium and argon progressively compressed, and it is believed to exist beneath a rocky core composed mainly of ice and denser materials about seven Earth masses. Jupiter has at least 63 moons. The ones called Galilean (Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto) resemble inner solar system planets by size and composition. Its diameter is 139,892 km and it takes almost 12 Earth years to circle the Sun ________________________ Júpiter es el quinto plan...
