How can one compare Jupiter to Earth?

Answer 1

Jupiter is a much larger planet, but consists of a small core buried beneath an immense, dense, impenetrable atmosphere, chiefly hydrogen and helium. This gaseous mix contains swirling storms and winds of extreme velocity.

Although Jupiter contains many of the elements found on Earth, it is either too cold (on the outside) or too hot (on the inside) for an Earth-like environment to exist. It orbits outside the habitable range for carbon-based life in our solar system. Our familiar Earth lifeforms would find no oxygen or liquid water on Jupiter, and could not tolerate the gravity or atmospheric pressure.

Answer 2

it is like earth because it is storm but the storms are really bad

It's bigger in size, has lots more storms, farther away, takes longer for a revolution but doesn't take long for a rotation, hotter and colder, and it has the Great Red Spot

Answer 3

There's a lot of examples, here are some of them:

• Jupiter is about six times bigger.
• Jupiter has a lot of moons, while the Earth only has one.
• Jupiter is a gas planet, so you can't step on it.
• Earth is a ''stone'' planet, with a surface, so we are able to step on it.
• Jupiter is basically made from helium and hydrogen, the two lightest gasses in the world, but is still heavyer than all of the planets together.
• The Earth is the third planet from the Sun, while Jupiter is the fifth from the Sun.

Answer 4

The main difference between Earth and Jupiter is that Jupiter is a gas planet and Earth is a rocky planet. Gas planets are bigger than rocky ones. They also have more mass which translates into more gravity. Because they have more gravity, they can hold more moons in their orbit and they are more likely to have rings. Some gas planets even have hurricanes lasting hundreds of years such as the fameous Red Spot on Jupiter.

Answer 5

Jupiter is a gas planet, meaning that it is mainly made from gas, rather than having a clear rocky surface. The atmosphere on Jupiter just gets thicker and thicker the deeper you go into the planet, while for Earth, there is an atmosphere, but then a clear rocky surface.

Jupiter is a very big planet, it has a lot of mass. It is therefore able to capture and hold all gases, including Hydrogen - the lightest gas. Earth is not massive enough to hold Hydrogen in its atmosphere, hydrogen gas escapes from the surface as the Earths gravity is not strong enough. Ligheter planets and bodies, like Mercury or the moon, are unable to hold any gas at its surface, so have no atmosphere.

Jupiter's atmosphere is mainly Hydrogen (around 90%), Helium (around 10%), with small amounts of Methane, Ammonia, Hydrogen Deuteride, and Water vapour.

Earth has an atmosphere of 78.08% Nitrogen and 20.95% Oxygen, with 0.93% Argon and 0.038% Carbon Dioxide. Around 1% of the atmosphere is water vapour, with traces of other gases such as Neon, Xenon and Carbon Monoxide.

Answer 6

Jupiter is much larger than Earth, with a diameter over 11 times greater. It is a gas giant composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, while Earth is a terrestrial planet with a solid surface. Jupiter has a shorter day than Earth (about 10 hours), but a much longer year (approximately 12 Earth years).

Answer 7

Even though it is made mostly of gas, Jupiter is much more massive than the earth. Jupiter rotates more quickly.

Answer 8

The basic reason that Jupiter is different from the Earth is probably that it was formed at a much greater distance from the sun than the Earth was.
