Inner Planets:
* Mercury: Grayish-brown. Covered in craters and dust, with a rocky, iron-rich surface.
* Venus: Pale yellow. Thick, swirling clouds of sulfuric acid reflect sunlight, giving it a bright, yellowish hue.
* Earth: Blue and green. The vast oceans are a dominant blue, while landmasses appear green and brown. White clouds contribute to the overall appearance.
* Mars: Reddish-brown. The rusty color comes from iron oxide (rust) in the soil and rocks.
Outer Planets:
* Jupiter: Reddish-brown and white. Its turbulent atmosphere features swirling storms and bands of colorful clouds, primarily composed of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. The Great Red Spot is a massive storm that's been raging for centuries.
* Saturn: Pale yellow. Mostly made up of hydrogen and helium, Saturn's color is influenced by its rings, which are made of ice and dust.
* Uranus: Pale blue-green. Methane in its atmosphere absorbs red light, reflecting blue and green wavelengths.
* Neptune: Deep blue. Similar to Uranus, methane in Neptune's atmosphere absorbs red light, making it appear a vibrant blue.
Important Note: The colors we see from Earth are influenced by the atmosphere and the way light interacts with the planetary surfaces and atmospheres. These colors can shift slightly depending on the angle of sunlight and other factors.
