Correct Answer - Option 3 : Saturn

The correct answer is Saturn.

  • Jupiter
    • It is the largest planet in our solar system at nearly 11 times the size of Earth and 317 times its mass.
    • It is mostly composed of hydrogen and helium.
    • It rotates once about every 10 hours (a Jovian day) but takes about 12 Earth years to complete one orbit of the Sun (a Jovian year)
    • It has 53 named moons and another 26 awaiting official names.

  • Mars
    • It is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in the Solar System.
    • It is also a dynamic planet with seasons, polar ice caps, canyons, extinct volcanoes, etc.
    • Mars has two moons- Phobos and Deimos
  • Saturn
    • It is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest planet in our solar system.
    • Like fellow gas giant Jupiter, Saturn is a massive ball made mostly of hydrogen and helium.
    • It has 82 moons. Saturn has the most number of moons.
  • Venus
    • It is the second planet from the Sun.
    • Its thick atmosphere traps heat in a runaway greenhouse effect, making it the hottest planet in our solar system with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead.
    • Venus has no moons.
