One of the great scientific discoveries of recent years has been the finding of subway water on Mars. It has two moons called Phobos and Deimos . Mars Joshua
Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System. It is a giant planet with a mass one-thousandth that of the Sun, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined. Jupiter Althea

Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. It has the third-largest planetary radius and fourth-largest planetary. Uranus is similar in composition to Neptune, and both have bulk chemical compositions. Uranus Aljun
Uranus is characterized by being a very cold planet because it is far from the Sun. Its axis of rotation is very tilted, and it looks bluish in color because of the gases that form its surface. Uranus has 28 known moons, including five major moons: Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon. Uranus Aljun
