What causes the rings to appear around Jupiter?
The rings around Jupiter are formed by dust and rock particles that are believed to be the remnants of asteroids or comets that have been captured by Jupiter's gravity and pulled into orbit around the planet.
What causes Jupiter's oblate shape?
The gravity of Jupiter's mass ought to have pulled the planet into a perfect sphere. However, Jupiter rotates very quickly, and the equatorial mass is lifted from its natural altitude by the centripedal force of Jupiter's spin.
What causes a satellites to be pulled to earth?
Gravity.
Jupiter is 317 times more massive than the Earth An astronaut on Jupiter would?
An astronaut on Jupiter would experience much stronger gravitational pull than on Earth, making movement more difficult. The astronaut's weight would be significantly heavier due to Jupiter's higher gravity.
How did Jupiter get so many moons?
8 of Jupiter's 63+ moons are large and fairly spherical, indicating that they may have formed around the planet during the creation of the solar system. Most of the others are in very irregular orbits that suggest they are asteroids captured by Jupiter's gravity (especially from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter).
What is the force which caused the comet to be pulled to Jupiter?
dude. gravity.
Why can you jump further on Jupiter than mars?
The gravity on Mars is a fraction of Jupiter's gravity. You would not be pulled downward as quickly. It is worth noting that Jupiter does not have a solid surface, which would make it impossible to jump.
Why do Jupiter and Saturn have many moons?
because their gravity is so strong that the moons are pulled in.
Is it true that Deimos and Phobos are believed to be asteroids from the belt between Mars and Jupiter pulled by Mars' gravity?
Yes, it is commonly thought the moons originated as asteroids, pulled from the belt by gravity.
Why are you not pulled in to Jupiter?
Because Jupiter has no gravitational pull
Why did shoemaker levy 9 break up?
It got too close to Jupiter and was pulled into its gravity well. The immense gravity caused tidal forces that broke up the comet before it hit the surface of the planet.
Which planet has the greatest moons?
I'm not sure what you're asking, but if you asking which planet has the most moons, it's Jupiter. Jupiter has the greatest gravity, therefore more things are pulled into orbit around it than any other planet.
When was the person Jupiter born?
When was Jupiter born? about 4.5 billion years ago Formation. Jupiter took shape when the rest of the solar system formed about 4.5 billion years ago when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become this gas giant. there is no person who is born on jupiter
What causes the rings to appear around Jupiter?
The rings around Jupiter are formed by dust and rock particles that are believed to be the remnants of asteroids or comets that have been captured by Jupiter's gravity and pulled into orbit around the planet.
How did Jupiter get its smaller moons?
Most of Jupiter's smaller moons were actually asteroids in the asteroid belt. Jupiter's immense gravity pulled them out and into it's orbit. Some just spun around and around until it was flung into space, but most stayed to become moons.
Did Several comets collide with Jupiter due to its strong magnetic field?
Comets do not collide with Jupiter due to its strong magnetic field. Instead, Jupiter's gravitational pull is typically what causes comets to collide with the planet. Jupiter's magnetic field is indeed strong, but it does not directly attract comets to collide with it.
Explain the role gravity plays in the formation of the moon?
A planetoid about the size of Mars crashed into the early Earth likely pulled out a a Lagrange point by Jupiter's gravity. Then pulled into the Earth by both bodies gravity, in an off-center hit sending debris into space and leaving a small portion in space with the added Earth debris that was pulled together by gravity again into the moon. As it drags along its slow orbit it's slowly being pulled away at about an inch a year because the gravity of Earth isn't supporting it so well (for reasons I won't go into here.) Gravity can only be significantly felt between objects with a very large mass, like the Earth and Moon. Which is why you dont feel a gravitational attraction between you and your computer. The Moon formed when gravity pulled pieces of rock and debris together into one big rock.
