Temperature Range on Jupiter

The temperature at the top of Jupiter's clouds is approximately -230oF (-145oC). The temperature increases as you move downward through the clouds, and reaches 70oF (21oC) at the point in the atmosphere where its atmospheric pressure is about 10 times that of earth's. Near the core of Jupiter the temperature may reach 43,000oF (24,000oC), which is hotter than the surface of the sun.

Sources do not agree on what exactly the surface temperature of Jupiter is, perhaps because it is a gaseous planet that has no surface as we think of them. Most agree that the temperature is well under -100oF, and closer to -150oF at what is considered to be the surface.
