Does Jupiter have Auroras?
Yes Jupiter does have aurorae. This is because Jupiter has a magnetic field that can attract the electrically charged particles emitted from the Sun, as well as the charged particles given off by Jupiter's volcanic moon, Io. The auroral emission is caused by electrically charged particles striking atoms in the upper atmosphere from above. The particles travel along Jupiter's magnetic field lines. This is the same mechanism that causes auroras on Earth
Why is the radiation so intense in a region that traces Io's orbit around Jupiter?
The region is full of gases ionized after being expelled from volcanoes on Io.
What is Jupiter namesake?
the names of jupiter are as follows: jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter jupiter and last but not least JuPiTeR
Will there be life on jupitet?
There's incredible amount of violence going on from its atmosphere. Storms on Jupiter can generate wind speeds of 800 km/h, with intense lightning, radiation, and charged particles. Life as we know it would be incapable of surviving on Jupiter.
What is the number of rotations on jupiter?
Jupiter is Jupiter is Jupiter is Jupiter is
What's the fifth planet from the sun?
Jupiter, of course!
Do auroras occur on other planets?
Auroras can occur on other planets and have been observed on several of them including Venus, Jupiter and Saturn. According to the Geophysical Institute of the University of Alaska auroras can form on any planet that has an atmosphere and is bombarded by energetic particles. As such all planets in our solar system are subjected to energetic particle bombardment due to the polar wind so any that have a dense enough atmosphere will have the potential for the formation of aurora. Further to this, they also state that the intensity of the aurora will be dependent on the strength of the planets magnetic field. According to NASA some of the largest auroras occur on Jupiter (which has auroras larger than the diameter of Earth) and it is unusual in that solar winds are not required as Jupiter (and its moon Io) is able to create its own charged particles and an intense electric field at it's poles. Currently NASA believe that volcanic activity on Jupiter's moon (Io) ejects oxygen and sulphur ions (O+ and S+) into Jupiter's spinning magnetic field. It is the rotation of this magnetic field that creates the very high electrical charge at Jupiter's poles. This interaction of the electric field and the charged particles from Io ultimately causes the majority of Jupiter's aurora. Please see the related links for more information.
