a peanut.. if you took all the planets in the solar system and added them together they would not equal the mass of Jupiter, so by comparsion a meteor to Jupiter is like the earth to the sun. insignificant!
Yes.
Any meteor or comet will burn up in Jupiter's incredibly thick atmosphere.
Tres-4 has a radius of about 1.799 that of Jupiter [See related question]
Saturn's lower density compared to Jupiter is the main reason why it is almost as big despite having a smaller mass. This lower density results in Saturn's gases being spread out over a larger volume, giving it a similar size to Jupiter.
Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, is as big as the planet Mercury.
Meteors vary in size, but are never bigger than a star.
Yes.
Beetween Mars and Jupiter and outside of Neptune
There isn't really any differences they are the same thing except an asteroid is MUCH MUCH bigger than a meteor, an asteroid is what killed off the dinos along time ago not a meteor. So say Jupiter and Pluto were a meteor, and a asteroid, Pluto wouold be the meteor and Jupiter would be the asteroid
The amount of earths you can fit on Jupiter is over 900 as i'm an astronomer chaser!!
The famous meteor that hit Jupiter was actually the fragmented comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in July 1994. It broke into multiple pieces before colliding with Jupiter, creating a series of impact marks on the planet's surface.
No. A meteor that gets to the ground is a meteoroid. An Asteroid is an orbiting body between Mars ans Jupiter.

No. The moon is tiny compared to Jupiter.
Jupiter is significantly larger than Pluto. Jupiter's diameter is about 11 times larger than Pluto's, and its volume is over 1,300 times greater. Jupiter is a gas giant, while Pluto is considered a dwarf planet.
There are no volcanoes on Jupiter.
