What position is the planet Jupiter?
Planet Jupiter is located from the 5th from the sun and this is the big planet.
Is the sun twice as big as Jupiter?
More like ten times as big.
Did Jupiter almost become a star when your solar system was forming?
78 percent of the material that did not go to the sun, went to jupiter.
How do Jupiter and Saturn resemble the Sun?
They are gas giants just like the sun except not as big
How much bigger than Jupiter is the Sun?
Jupiter is actually ten times SMALLER than the sun, not bigger.
Which planet almost became a second sun?
Jupiter almost became a second sun because it is a gas giant with enough mass to start nuclear fusion. However, it did not have enough mass to sustain the nuclear reactions necessary to become a true star.
How big is Jupiter's magnetic field?
Jupiter's magnetic field is the largest in the solar system, extending over 7 million kilometers in the direction of the Sun and almost to the orbit of Saturn in the opposite direction. This magnetic field is about 14 times stronger than Earth's.
How big is the sun compared to jupiter?
Jupiters' diameter is 142,740 km, while the sun's is 1,377,648 km. This means that Jupiter's diameter is just over a tenth of the sun's diameter.
One of Jupiter's moons is as big as the planet mercury if the moon is so big why is it a moon and not a planet?
Jupiter's moon Ganymede is as big as Mercury but is classified as a moon because it orbits Jupiter rather than orbiting the sun directly. Planets are celestial bodies that orbit the sun directly, while moons orbit planets. Ganymede's orbit around Jupiter classifies it as a moon rather than a planet.
How much larger would Jupiter have to be to make it the same size as the sun?
Jupiter would have to be at least 10 times as big to make it's diameter the same as the sun.
How big is Jupiter compared to the size of the sun?
Jupiter's diameter is about 10 times smaller than the Sun's diameter. The mass of the Sun is about 1,000 times greater than Jupiter's mass. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, but it is much smaller than the Sun.
How are Jupiter and the sun similar?
Not much, except they are both stellar objects. The sun is a star, while Jupiter is a planet orbiting the sun. Jupiter may be big in comparison to us, but it's still ridiculously small compared to the sun.
