what other planets are nearby to Jupiter?
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar System so any of the other planets could fit inside a volume the size of Jupiter, some of them many times over.
When did asteroids hit Jupiter?
The Minor Planet center has cataloged 279,722 minor planets which are asteroids, comets, and dwarf planets. Considering asteroids and comets are in some ways related bodies in the fact that they do not have hydrostatic equilibrium; we only have to subtract the four dwarf planets leaving us with 279,718 asteroids and comets discovered so far.
What are the planets in space?
There is only one "major planet", Jupiter. Jupiter has more mass than all the other planets put together. But we think of our solar system as having eight planets (nine, if you're old like me and still count Pluto). They are, in decreasing size order, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth, Venus, Mars and Mercury.
What time of year can you see planets?
There are generally a couple of planets visible every night of the year. Which planets will be visible and when depends on where each of the planets (and the Earth itself) are in their orbits. Here on August 28, 2009, for example, Jupiter rises about sunset and is brightly visible all night. Venus and Mars rise before dawn. Saturn and Mercury are not visible this month, because they are too close to the Sun to be seen.
What planet's surround Jupiter?
saturn on the side of jupiter that is farthest from the sun and mars is on the side of jupiter that is closest to the sun
Which planet is bigger than every planets?
Jupiter

What is the difference of inner planets and outer planets?
The inner planets are rocky, and do not have any rings. They are all fairly small, with our planet, Earth, being the largest, then Venus, then Mars, then Mercury. Most of them have moons, and none have rings. The outer planets are made of gas, and are huge compared to the inner planets. Every single one of these outer planets have moons and rings. Jupiter is the largest, followed by Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

How often are the planets Venus and Jupiter seen from earth directly above the crescent moon?
Every now and then
Does Jupiter rotates more quickly than earth?
Yes, Jupiter rotates once every ten hours, compared to earth's rotation once every 24 hours. This is more than twice as fast.
How long is Jupiters rotation period?
Of all the planets in the solar system, Jupiter has the fastest rotation. The planet Jupiter makes a complete rotation every 9.9 hours.
What planets do asteroids orbit?
The Sun. Although it's highly probable that every solar system has its own asteroids, orbiting their own stars.
How many moons is Jupiter away from Callisto?
Callisto is the 2nd largest and 8th closest of Jupiter's known moons, with an orbit about 1.8 million km from Jupiter. It was discovered by Galileo in 1610 and is the most distant from Jupiter of the 4 large Galilean moons. Jupiter's large moons orbit rapidly compared to Earth's Moon. Callisto circles Jupiter every 16.7 Earth days.
What is the mnemonic device to remember the order of these planets Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune?
Mary Visits Every Monday and Just Stays Until Noon. The and stands for the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Does Jupiter have day and night?
Jupiter does have day and night due to the rotation of its axis. Jupiter turns on its axis every 9.84 hours and spins much faster than most of the planets.
