It occurs in the same way as everywhere else. The greater the mass the more powerful the gravitational attraction.

How does the phenomenon of a burn jupiter occur in the context of celestial bodies?

A "burn jupiter" occurs when a celestial body, like a star or planet, is engulfed by a larger body, such as a star or black hole, causing it to be destroyed or consumed by the intense heat and gravitational forces.


Which planet has the hottest volcano on it?

The hottest known volcanic eruptions occur not a a planet but on Io, one of the moons of Jupiter.


What catastrophic events would occur if Jupiter exploded?

If Jupiter were to explode, it would release a massive amount of energy and debris into space. The explosion could potentially send fragments of the planet hurtling towards other celestial bodies in our solar system, causing widespread destruction and chaos. The loss of Jupiter's gravitational influence could also have significant impacts on the orbits of nearby planets, leading to potential collisions or disturbances in the solar system.


Why did the asteroids fail to become planets?

Asteroids failed to become planets because of their small size and lack of sufficient gravitational pull to gather more material, as well as the disruptive influences from nearby planets that prevented them from accreting into larger bodies. Additionally, the gravitational perturbations caused by Jupiter's immense mass played a role in disrupting the formation of a cohesive planetary body from the asteroid belt.


Is it possible for a star to revolve a planet if the planet is big enough and the star is small enough?

Yes, As long as the planet has a big enough gravitational force. Wrong! By definition, stars do not rotate their planets - only the opposite can occur.


Are there volcanoes on the planet Jupiter?

No. Jupiter is a gas giant. This means, that although there is the theoretical possibility of a solid core, the planet is composed of layers of of light elements (gases at Earth temperatures and pressures) ranging from their gaseous states to their solid states depending on altitude from planetary center (with denser states occurring closer to the center). As such no vulcanism can occur on Jupiter.


Why is the Sun a star while Jupiter is not?

Although Jupiter is comprised of similar materials to the Sun - mainly hydrogen and helium, it does not have enough mass to heat the core of the planet to 10,000oK. This is a requirement for nuclear fusion to occur and without that, Jupiter is not a star, but a planet. For Jupiter to become a star, it would have to accumulate 75% more mass to achieve this.


How often do solar eclipses occur on Jupiter?

Solar eclipses on Jupiter occur much more frequently than on Earth due to its many moons casting shadows on the planet. On average, there can be multiple solar eclipses every day on Jupiter as the large number of moons with varying orbital planes constantly create opportunities for eclipses to happen.


What ion is necessary for cardiac contraction to occur?

calcium is te most important ion in cardiac contraction , whereas the contraction starts by the Na .


Under what circumstances can differentiation occur in a planet?

Differentiation in a planet occurs when the planet's interior heats up and becomes molten, causing heavier materials to sink towards the core while lighter materials rise to the surface. This process can happen during the planet's formation due to gravitational forces.


What degree does metal contract at?

Contraction occur at low temperature.


Why are there rings around Jupiter?

Rings around a planet are caused by a collision. This collision could occur from a moon crashing into a moon, a moon crashing into the planet, an asteroid crashing into a moon or an asteroid crashing into the planet. The resulting debris from the collision gets trapped in the planetary orbit, and hence, creates a ring system.
