Planets

=Types of Planets= There are many types of planets in the universe. Some of the main types of planets in our solar system are Dust, Gas Giants, Metal, Pellucid and Water planets.

__Dust__

Dust planets have aluminium and potassium in them. The surface of these types of planets shows silicate and metal oxides. From space they appear red and have a dark red surfaces with pink and brown blotches. Since they have a thin atmosphere, they would usually support a small amount of ecosystems. An example of a Dust planet in our solar system is Mars.



__Gas Giants__

The reason how Gas Giants got their name was because some of the planets were extremely large that was contained with gases. This meaning that no spacecraft could land on these types of planets, or collect types of minerals from them. They occasionaly have many moons. Gas giants come in many different colours. An example of a Gas Giant in our soloar system is Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.



__Metal__

Metal planets or Metallic worlds are contained with a whole lot of types of metals, this includes precious metals, corrosives and base metals. From space, they appear red-orange and have a heavily-cratered yellow and orange surface. It can't support that much lifefroms. An example of a Metal world in our solar system is Mercury.



__Pellucid__

Pellucid words less opaque than most worlds, and usually have a small amount of minerals. From space they appear violet with a pastel violets and clue surfaces. An example of a Pellucid world in our solar system is Pluto.



__Primordial__

Primordial have common minerals and base metals. These types of planets have a large and rocky core. From space, they appear green and their surface has many shades of green. Their atmosphere is a very thick layer of carbon dioxide at an extremely hot temperature. An example of a Primordial planet in our solar system is Venus.



__Water__

Water planets got the name because majority of the types of planets who have water in them, is mostly covering in water (or ice or vapours). They are uncommon in the galaxy. They have a higher chance of lifeforms living on them. Many of the advanced races live on water worlds. They are rich in base metals. From space, they appear blue with a dark blue surface (cold) or blue (moderate temperature) or maroon (hot) surface with white clouds and brown/yellow masses.
