it didn't, jupiter has no solid surface to land on. Voyager 2 flew by Jupiter. It began observing Jupiter on April 25, 1979.

That it shrinks 2 cm ever Earth year.
That it shrinks 2 cm every Earth year.
Jupiter is slowly shrinking in size due to its cooling process, but it will not significantly change in size within our lifetimes. It will continue to lose about 2 centimeters in diameter every year.
Voyager 1 was launched on September 5, 1977 and flew by Jupiter (1979) and Saturn (1980). Voyager 2 was launched on August 20, 1977 and flew by Jupiter (1979), Saturn (1981), Uranus (1986), and Neptune (1898).
8 Earth years is the same length of time as roughly 2/3 of a year on Jupiter. Sadly, regardless of your age, I would be just as old on Jupiter as I am right here, although there might be some different number to describe it.
Voyager 1 & 2 reached Jupiter in 1979 and Galileo arrived at Jupiter in 1995.
Period of Jupiter = TjPeriod of earth = Te = 1 yearand its given(Tj/Te)2 = (5.2)3(Tj/1)2 = 140.6Tj = Sqrt(140.6) = 11.85 years ~ 12yearsJupiter's year is approximately 12 Earth years. 1 year on Jupiter is 12 earth years. If you were 48 on earth, you would be 4 years old on Jupiter.
No, Jupiter has just one red spot.
Europa and Io are two of the many moons of Jupiter
The shortest planetary "day" (period of rotation) is that of the largest planet, Jupiter.With an equatorial rotation speed of over 12.6 km/sec (28,000 mph), Jupiter spins once on its axis every 9.925 Earth hours. (about 9 hours, 55 1/2 minutes)
The Voyager spacecraft are interplanetary probes and did not carry landers. Any spacecraft attempting to land on Jupiter would be crushed by the extreme pressures and magnetic fields and would fall for days before reaching the core of the planet because as Saturn and Jupiter are gas giants they have no surface as such.
