Best Answer

Because Jupiter is a planet in our own solar system, making it easier to send probes and satellites to, and some scientists believe a Jupiter moon might be capable of supporting life (Europa). Some facts about Jupiter:

- 5.20 AU from Sun

- 1 Jupiter year=11.86 Earth years

- 1 Jupiter day=9.97 Earth hours

- Jupiter has 3 faint rings (all our gas giants have rings)

- Jupiter does not experience seasons

What if Jupiter didn't exist?

Most scientists believe that Jupiter's gravity has played an important role in shaping our solar system. We can't say exactly what things would be like without Jupiter, but it would probably be quite different. The planets would likely be on different orbits, and we might even have different planets from the ones we have. Saturn, for example, might have ended up larger than it is if it were not for Jupiter robbing it of gas from the inner solar system.
