Question 2: What is the largest planet in our Solar System?

Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System with a diameter of 86,881 miles (139,822 kilometers). It's so large that all other planets in the Solar System could fit inside Jupiter. Jupiter also has a very strong magnetic field and at least 79 moons.


Question 3: Which planet is known for its extensive ring system?

Saturn is recognized by its well-known ring system, which consists of ice particles, rocky debris, and dust. While Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune also have ring systems, they are not as prominent or as complex as Saturn's. Saturn's rings can be seen with a small telescope from Earth.



Question 4: Which instrument is often referred to as the "king of instruments"?

The pipe organ is often called the "king of instruments" due to its size, complexity, and the vast range of sounds it can produce. It is commonly used in churches and concert halls.


Question 5: What composer is known for the opera "The Marriage of Figaro"?
