Hot and cold are comparative terms.
It is colder on Jupiter's surface than it is on Earth's surface, by mean.
Wikipedia gives the mean surface temperature as 112-165 K, which translates to about -108 Celsius and lower (consider +21 Celsius is recognized as standard room temperature on earth). The coldest temperatures ever verified on earth seem to rank at around -90 Celsius in what are essentially uninhabitable areas.
An important realization is that, due to many factors, Earth's temperature is extremely consistent. A mean temperature hides the fact that other planets undergo 'daily' cycles that range in temperature by hundreds of Celsius.
If that happened on Earth, we wouldn't last very long.
Caveats to this question/answer include: Fluctuations of temperature according to location on Jupiter/Earth, where Jupiter/Earth is in its orbit, where you even define 'surface' to be on a gas giant, etc etc.

How does this planet compare to the hot Jupiters discovered around other stars?
Small & cold.
Is jupiters atmosphere extremely thin?
Yes it has an atmosphere of ammonia crystals
Is 100 degrees celsius cold or hot?
100 oC is the boiling point of water at 1 atmosphere pressure.
How do particles make a hot air balloon work?
The hot air has a density under the density of cold air. And so up in the atmosphere.
Are meteoroids hot?
That depends. Meteoroids are pretty cold when they float around in space. When they enter our atmosphere, they get super hot and usually burn up in the thermospere.
How does this planet compare to the hot Jupiters discovered around other stars?
Small & cold.
Why it is cold above the atmosphere?
It is not necessarily cold above the atmosphere. In direct sunlight, it can be quite hot.
Is there oxygen in Jupiters atmosphere?
Nope. Jupiter's atmosphere contains hydrogen and helium.
what is jupiters surface?
very cold
What is Jupiters atmosphere and what is it composed of?
the atmosphere of Jupiter is made of 90% hydrogen, and 10% helium
Is jupiters atmosphere extremely thin?
Yes it has an atmosphere of ammonia crystals
What is jupiters surface tempurture?
very cold
What is Jupiters atmosephere like?
Jupiters upper atmosphere is mainly carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide below that is a layer of condensed hydrogen or a sea of hydrogen because of the immense pressure in the atmosphere
Why does the moon get so cold and so hot?
It gets hot and cold. Hot because there is no atmosphere so the sun's rays get in much easily. Cold because there is not atmosphere to trap the heat and don't forget the moon rotates so it still has day and night.
Is it hot or cold in the atmosphere?
i think it is what ever weather earth is :)
What kind of atmosphere Jupiter have?
jupiters atmosphere is made up of hydrogen, helium, amonia, and many other gases.
Why is the atmosphere so hot?
because when you are somewhere high it gets hot . but if you go down it gets cold
