Why does Jupiter radiate more energy into space than it receives from the sun?

No one knows exactly why, as we can't see under its clouds. There are several ideas, but all come down to some internal source of excess heat: maybe gravitational, radioactive decay, fission, fusion, etc.

What planet radiates more energy from space than it receives from the sun?
It is Jupiter
What planet gives off more energy than it receives from the Sun?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all give off more heat than they receive.
How does the sun radiate energy?
The sun radiates energy through nuclear fusion. This causes helium atoms to be formed which then become excess energy that moves into space.
Explain why Jupiter radiates more energy into space than it receives from the sun?
None of the scientist think that cold fusion can occure in any form of hydrogen. Fusion depends on density and temperature. So, hydrogen compounds and metalic hydrogen have hydrogen atoms much more closer than gas form of hydrogen. On Earth, the cold fusion rate about 1 megawatt and my rough calculations for jupiter 3.000.000.000.000.000 watts.
How long has Jupiter been in space?
how long has Jupiter been in space
What planet radiates more energy from space than it receives from the sun?
It is Jupiter
Two planets that are known to radiate more energy back to space than they receive from the sun are?
Jupiter and Saturn......... by R.E
How does the heat Jupiter radiates compare to the energy it receives from the Sun?
Jupiter radiates back into space about twice the energy it gets from the Sun
What planet gives off more energy than it receives from the Sun?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune all give off more heat than they receive.
What two planets are known to radiate more energy back to space than they receive from the sun?
jupiter, saturn, and neptune (theres a third!)
When earth receives energy from the sun some energy escapes back into what?
Space.
The Earth loses energy to space only at night?
Of course not. Energy is radiated out all the time. The hotter an object, the more energy will radiate away.
How does the sun radiate energy?
The sun radiates energy through nuclear fusion. This causes helium atoms to be formed which then become excess energy that moves into space.
Is earth an isolated system?
No. An isolated system is one which has no exchange of matter and energy with the surrounding. In case of earth, many gas particles of earth's atmosphere are lost to the space. Also it receives energy from the earth. Hence there is a transfer of matter and energy with surrounding (universe) so earth is not an isolated system.
Why is there a 400 degree difference on the moon between shade and sun?
The energy of the sun heats the illuminated areas while the unilluminated areas radiate heat into space.

How many space probes have you sent to Jupiter?
They have sent 6 space prbes to Jupiter.
