Why does the brightness of Jupiter appear to change?
It depends on the distance between the Earth and Jupiter. Since Jupiter is much further away from the sun than the Earth, it takes longer for it to make a rotation around the sun. This difference in the speed at which the two planets orbit the sun leads to differences in their distance to one another over the span of months and years. Generally of course the closer the two planets are from one another, the greater brightness that Jupiter appears to us.
Is Jupiter the 4th brightest object in the sky?
No, Jupiter is typically the 4th brightest object in the sky after the Sun, Moon, and Venus. It can vary in brightness depending on its position in its orbit and its alignment with Earth.
Why does the brightness of Jupiter apper to change over time?
That's mainly because the distance from Jupiter to Earth changes over time. If we assume, for simplicity, that Jupiter's orbit is circular, and that the distance from the Sun to Jupiter is 5 AU, then, when Jupiter is in opposition (opposite to the Sun, from our point of view), it is at a distance of 4 AU (5 minus 1); when it is in conjunction (behind the Sun, from our point of view), it's at a distance of 6 AU (5 plus 1).
What is the sun's brightness at 100?
At 100, the brightness of the sun is 3.839 x 100. This equals to 383.6.
Is the gravitational force between the sun and Jupiter or between the sun and Saturn?
Sun and Jupiter because Jupiter has more mass and it is closer to the sun.

What stars can you see from Jupiter?
From Jupiter's orbit, the stars would appear exactly as they do from Earth, with one exception: the Sun, which would be smaller. From below the clouds on Jupiter, you wouldn't be able to see any stars.

Is it dark or light on Jupiter?
Jupiter itself does not emit light, so it can be considered dark. However, it reflects light from the Sun, so it can appear bright in the sky.
How much light is there on Jupiter's moon Europa?
Europa receives very little light from the sun due to its distance and position in Jupiter's shadow. The surface of Europa is primarily illuminated by sunlight scattered by Jupiter's atmosphere and reflections from Jupiter itself.
When will the sun block our view of Jupiter 2007?
Jupiter will not be visible at all during December 2007, but will re-appear in January 2008. The Sun and Jupiter will be at conjunction on the 23rd December 2007. This is when the Sun will move in front of the plant Jupiter. I don't know if that answers your question, but hey, gave it a go. Check out the www.bbc.co.UK website and search for night sky.
What appears at night but in the day it hides?
All animals that are nocturnal appear at night but then hide in the daytime.
What is the sun's brightness at 100?
At 100, the brightness of the sun is 3.839 x 100. This equals to 383.6.
Is the gravitational force between the sun and Jupiter or between the sun and Saturn?
Sun and Jupiter because Jupiter has more mass and it is closer to the sun.
What number planet is Jupiter from the Sun?
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun in our solar system.
Where does Jupiter fit in the Milky Way galaxy?
Jupiter is a planet, like Earth. Where it actually is in the galexy is in an orbit around the Sun. Where it would appear to us (what direction from Earth) keeps changing as both Jupiter and Earth orbit the Sun; so where it appears relative to the stars will depend on when you are looking.
