Could a planet be smaller in size than Jupiter but greater in mass?

Yes. Jupiter is mainly made of gas, so any planet slightly smaller in size but made of solid material would have more mass than Jupiter. Bigger size doesn't always mean more mass. For example, a black hole that is several kilometer in diameter can easily be WAY more massive than any planets in our solar system.


Which planet has the largest schwarzschild radius?

This is nothing to do with planets. It's part of the theory of black holes. Perhaps you mean if the planet's mass were concentrated into a black hole. In that case the answer is Jupiter, because it has the greatest mass.


If Jupiter explodes will it turn into a black hole?

Jupiter could potentially orbit a black hole the size of Mars - one that size would have an immense(!) gravitational pull and would be significantly more massive than Jupiter. By comparison, the Sun's Schwarzschild radius is only about 3 km - and Mars has a radius around 3,400 km - so a black hole of that size would be in excess of a thousand times the mass of the Sun.


Is black holes bigger than galaxies?

A black hole has a much larger mass than a planet. The mass of a black hole, however, is contained in a point that is smaller than some fundamental particles. The event horizon of a typical stellar mass black hole is much smaller than any planet, but the event horizons of supermassive black holes are much larger.


When Will Jupiter and Saturn die?

Great Great Question! I suppose when their internal cores cool completely and they become termed 'dead planets' like Mars or Mercury. Jupiter and Saturn dont have tectonic activity being mostly gas. But they do have a core. The bigger the planet, the bigger the core mass and the longer it takes to cool..thats the theory. The question really is..are planets eternal and do they exist until the end of time forever circling a dead cold star in a black solar system until the universe implodes or rips atomically apart?

Is there a black hole on the planet Jupiter?

There is no black hole on the planet Jupiter, but there is a red spot.


What planet has a black spot on it when looking through a telescope?

That is the planet Jupiter. The black spot was created recently when a asteroid collided with it. Jupiter has a Great Red Spot created through storms. No planet has a black spot no mars has a giant red spot and mercury has the black spot


Can Jupiter be absorbed by the black hole?

Any matter that gets close enough to a black hole can be absorbed by it. But there are no known black holes nearby - the closest known black hole is at a distance of 3000 light-years.

Does the sun have an black hole like Jupiter?

No. There not a black hole on the sun or on Jupiter.


Which is the largest of the terrestial planets?

Earth is the biggest Terrestrial Planet of the SOLAR SYSTEM. Bigger ones are Gas Giants. Bigger than Gas Giants are Stars. Bigger than Stars are Black Holes. The LARGEST TERRESTRIAL PLANET is unknown. It says Largest of THE Terrestrial Planets. The Answer is changing because in seconds, a new planet is formed.


What colour is Jupiter?

Planets get their colors by what they're made of. Jupiter is a giant gas planet made up of mostly hydrogen and helium with small amounts of water droplets, ice crystals, ammonia crystals, and other elements. Jupiter, if seen with the naked eye appears to have horizantal stripes of different shades of white, orange, brown, and red.

What appears when all the colors is absorbed by the object?

When light of all colors (wavelengths) is absorbed by an object, the object appears black.


What is bigger a black dwarf or a planet?

The size of a black dwarf is about the same as some planets. They are expected to range in size from a little less than Earth's diameter to twice Earth's diameter.
