Jupiter protects the Solar System mostly Earth, by drawing in objects that come toward the inner solar system by means of its large gravity. This was made apparent in July 1994 when Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacted Jupiter.

Have you found any other planets bigger than Jupiter?

Yes, there are planets known as "hot Jupiters" that are larger than Jupiter in terms of mass and size. These exoplanets are gas giants like Jupiter but orbit much closer to their host star, resulting in higher temperatures and different atmospheric compositions.


How might hot Jupiters have gotten so close to the stars they orbit?

Hot Jupiters may have migrated close to their stars due to interactions with the protoplanetary disk during their formation, gravitational interactions with other planets, or tidal forces from the star.
