Planets internal structures
Planets internal structures, and Pluto, computer artwork. Mercury, Mars and Venus consist of a large iron core (spherical), surrounded by a thick silicate mantle (yellow) covered in a surface crust. Earth consists of an inner core of solid iron and nickel (yellow) and a molten outer core (orange), surrounded by a mantle of highly viscous liquid (brown) covered by a surface crust. Jupiter and Saturn consist of a core of rock (spherical) surrounded by ice (mat grey). This is surrounded by a layer of liquid metallic hydrogen (grey) and liquid normal hydrogen (blue). Uranus and Neptune have a core of rock (spherical) surrounded by ice and liquid hydrogen (blue). Pluto has a dense rocky core (grey) surrounded by ice (black)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and diverse internal structures of various planets in our solar system, including Pluto. Through stunning computer artwork, we are given a glimpse into the hidden realms beneath their surfaces. Mercury, Mars, and Venus reveal a fascinating composition with a large iron core at their center, enveloped by a thick silicate mantle. Earth's complexity is unveiled as it boasts an inner core of solid iron and nickel surrounded by a molten outer core. This is further encased within a highly viscous liquid mantle covered by its familiar surface crust. Jupiter and Saturn present us with rock cores encompassed by layers of ice followed by metallic hydrogen and normal hydrogen liquids. Uranus and Neptune exhibit similar rock cores but are adorned with ice and liquid hydrogen surroundings. Lastly, Pluto unveils its enigmatic nature through this artwork; featuring a dense rocky core embraced by an icy exterior. Each planet's distinct structure offers valuable insights into the geological wonders that shape these celestial bodies. The Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this scientific marvel, allowing us to appreciate the complexities of planetary anatomy while igniting our curiosity about the mysteries that lie beyond our own world.
