Best Answer

Jupiter's surface temperature is cold, much colder than that of the four inner planets. The core temperature of Jupiter is very high though, maybe around 36,000 Kelvin or so - with extremely high pressures. Jupiter's core temperature is so high because the mass of the planet is much greater than any other planet.
