The table shows the primary gases in the composition of four planets. Planet Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Atmospheric Composition 90% hydrogen 10% helium 0.3% methane 90% hydrogen 3.5% helium 0.5% methane 83% hydrogen 15% helium 2% methane 80% hydrogen 19% helium 2% methane Using the table, which planets have the most similar atmospheres? (1 point) Responses Saturn and Uranus Saturn and Uranus Jupiter and Neptune Jupiter and Neptune Jupiter and Saturn Jupiter and Saturn Uranus and Neptune
The planets with the most similar atmospheres are Jupiter and Saturn, as they have the highest percentage of hydrogen and helium.
Based on the given table, the planets with the most similar atmospheres are Jupiter and Saturn. Both Jupiter and Saturn have an atmospheric composition of 90% hydrogen and 10% helium.
To determine which planets have the most similar atmospheres, we need to compare the percentages of the primary gases in each planet's composition. Looking at the table:
- Jupiter has 90% hydrogen, 10% helium, and 0.3% methane.
- Saturn has 90% hydrogen, 3.5% helium, and 0.5% methane.
- Uranus has 83% hydrogen, 15% helium, and 2% methane.
- Neptune has 80% hydrogen, 19% helium, and 2% methane.
By comparing the composition of gases, we can see that Jupiter and Saturn have very similar atmospheres, with the only significant difference being in the percentage of helium. However, Saturn and Uranus also have some similarities, particularly in the percentage of hydrogen.
Therefore, the two pairs of planets with the most similar atmospheres are:
- Jupiter and Saturn
- Saturn and Uranus
