On February 20, 1943. A farmer was working in his field in Paricutin, a Mexican village. He heard rumbling noises from the ground but continued to work. Hours later, the earth began shaking. Steam started to rise from a crack in the ground. Afraid, the farmer ran home. He didn't know until later that his field was getting ready to give rise to a volcano. By evening, hot ash and stones were pouring out from a hole in the ground. They piled up around the opening, forming a hill. Within a week, the volcano was almost 500 feet tall. At the end of 2 months, it was over 1000 feet high. Lava from the volcano spread over the land and buried Paricutin. Luckily all the villagers had moved out and were not hurt.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. It is named after the king of the Roman gods. Jupiter is so big that if it were a hollow ball, it would take 1000 Earths to fill it up. Jupiter is the 5th planet from the Sun. It takes the planet about 4,333 days to orbit the Sun. That is way more than the 365 it takes Earth. This means a year on Jupiter is more like 12 yrs on Earth. Jupiter's days are much shorter than ours. That's because Jupiter spins, or rotates, much faster than Earth. It takes Jupiter about 10 hours to rotate while it takes Earth 24 hours. Jupiter's surface cannot be seen from Earth because of the layers of dense clouds that cover the planet. Through a telescope, these clouds look like bands of color. This may be because of different gases in the clouds. A large, oval mark can be seen on the clouds. This mark is called the Great Red Spot. It is believed that the spot is a powerful storm made up of swirling clouds of gases. The spot is so big that 3 Earths could fit in a line across it.
