the sun is 776,092 m more in diameter then jupiter
Orbit- 778,330,000 km from sun
Jupiter was the King of the Gods, the ruler of Olympus and patron of the Roman state. Zeus was the son of Cronus(Saturn).
Jupitar was first visited by Pioneer 10 in 1973. The spacecraft Galileo orbited Jupiter for eight years.
That is, Jupiter weighs about 317.8 times the Earth's weight.
Temperature- 234 F
Rotation around the sun- 12 earth years
your weight- if you weigh 100 pounds on earth, you would weigh 265 pounds on jupiter
rings-3 made of dust
surface- hot ball of gas and liquid
atmosphere- whirling clouds of colored dust, hydrogen, helium, methane, water, and ammonia. The great red spot is an intense windstorm larger than earth.\
rings made of- dust particles kicked up as interplantary meteoroids smash into jupiters for small inner moons.
moons-4
names of moons- Metis, Adrastea, Thebe, Amalthea
rotation-Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in our solar system rotating on average once in just under 10 hours.
Jupiter can be seen with the naked eye it is visible from earth night
Period of rotation- 9.8 earth hours
jupiter has a red spot on it that is a storm it is located in the southern hemisphere and varying from c.15,600 to 25,000 mi (25,000 to 40,000 km) in one direction and 7,500 to 10,000 mi (12,000 to 16,000 km) in the other, the storm rotates counterclockwise and has been observed ever since 1664
largest planet
outer planet
jupiter has no solid surface since it is a gas giant so it has no surface temperature
the core of jupiter is hotter than the surface o the sun
jupiter's core is approximately 24,000°C
at the top of jupiter's clouds the temperature is -145°C
as you descend closer to the center of the planet the temperature increases to 21°C
third brightest objest in the night sky
greeks discovered it
since jupiter is not hard to see because you can see it in the night sky without a telescope it is unknown who discovered jupiter humans have known about it for tens of thousands of years
5x Earth's distance from the sun\
jupiter's symbol is a fancy 4 it is a stylized lightning bolt and it represents jupiter in astrology
Diameter- 88,846 miles
Sun's diameter-864,938 miles
