Convection currents - hot air rising and cold air sinking

Mountains on Jupiter's rocky surface caused by plate tectonics

The different colors are an optical illusion created by Jupiter's strong magnetic field

An advanced alien civilization built an elaborate system of roads and aqueducts

Proximity to the sun

Thick atmosphere of greenhouse gasses

Frequent volcanic activity

Intense magnetic field

Vast seas of lava

High levels of Argon in the atmosphere

A surface covered in iron-oxide (rust)

Frequent volcanic activity

A thin, wide band of orbiting ice and rocks

An opaque band of gasses formed by Saturn's magnetic field

A thick, solid band of ice

Earth

Jupiter

Saturn

Neptune

It's extremely elliptical orbit takes it very far from the sun, then very close to it

Mercury's extreme axial tilt puts it roughly on its side, giving it extreme seasons

Mercury's severe volcanic activity heats one side of the planet, then shifts to the other side

Mercury's lack of atmosphere prevents it from trapping heat, causing it to be hot at day and cold at night

Carbon Dioxide

Water Vapor

Sulfuric Acid

Hydrogen Gas

Jupiter is much smaller than our sun, only about 1/1000th the mass

Jupiter is smaller than our sun, about 1/5 the mass

Jupiter is almost the same size as our sun, about 3/4 of its mass

Jupiter is actually larger than our sun, it just looks smaller due to the distance

Hydrogen and Helium

Carbon and Oxygen

Lead and Iron

Uranium and Plutonium

Planets are shaped by their own gravity while dwarf planets are not

Planets clear their orbit of debris while dwarf planets do not

Planets have moons but dwarf planets do not

Dwarf planets are mythical while planets are real

Frozen beneath the surface in permafrost

Evaporated due to the extreme heat

Scientists do not believe water ever existed on mars

Mostly collected in a single massive ocean

Possess at least one moon

Be shaped by its own gravity

Clear its orbit of debris

Be too small for nuclear fusion

They are similar in size

They both lack an atmosphere

They are both heavily cratered and geologically dead

They both possess significant amounts of water

They are both made entirely of hydrogen and helium gas
