What kind of space suit would you need to go to Jupiter?

you would a suit made of plutonium at least make one cycle around jupiter..but to crash into the watery surface of Jupiter you need a suit made completely of dark matter.


What equipment do you need on Jupiter?

A robot. Humans couldn't survive there.


Is Jupiter out tonight?

Jupiter is not out tonight. This means that Jupiter can not be seen with the naked eye and a telescope would be needed.


How is earth similar to Jupiter?

Jupiter has an atmosphere just like Earth. Also, Jupiter has storms, so does Earth. If you have a better answer plz speak now, i need a better answer and more research for my project. Please do not put a stupid answer, it's very irritating to those who need a true answer. Thank-you.


Can TREES make Jupiter a sustainable planet?

Firstly, Trees need landmass into which to spread their roots for support and it is doubtful that Jupiter has landmass. (If it is found to have landmass, it would be deep under the gas layers with far too much pressure to support any trees we have on Earth.) Secondly, Trees need water. If there is any water on Jupiter, it is in the core. Thirdly, Trees need sunlight and Jupiter's atmosphere would create conditions that were sufficiently occluded to prevent photosynthesis. (This avoids mentioning that the requisite oxygen and carbon dioxide are also missing from Jupiter's atmosphere in the necessary percentages.) Assuming, either by magic or significantly advanced technology, trees can survive on Jupiter, there are many other factors that would be necessary to make Jupiter inhabitable such as proper heating, prevalence of mid-level elements (such as carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, phosphorus et al., a clearer atmosphere, less pressure in habitable areas, and storm control (the Big Red Spot is a tornado larger than 3x the Planet Earth).

What direction does Jupiter rotate on its axis?

Jupiter rotates on its axis in an anti clockwise direction. I hope this helped you. 😄 Small improvement : Yes that's the answer, but for completeness you need to say "when viewed from above the north pole".

How many types of wind turbines are there?

There are two main types of wind turbines: horizontal axis and vertical axis. (Each type has several subtypes, but the main aspect that matters is the axis) Horizontal axis turbines, which are more common, have to point into the wind and their axis is horizontal as seen by the name, making them look somewhat like fans. Because of the angle of the blades, they can collect the maximum amount of wind energy. Also, since the blades rotate perpendicular to the wind, they are always gathering energy. However, they have their disadvantages as they are very tall and big, making it hard to transport them, and also causing a need for towers to support them. They can also be noisy at times. Meanwhile, vertical axis turbines have axes that are vertically sticking out of the ground and blades that rotate around the axis. They don't need to point into the wind, which makes them more useful in places where the wind direction is unpredictable. They can be built lower to the ground, so they don't need tower support like the horizontal axis ones and they are allowed in places where tall structures aren't allowed. Like the horizontal axis turbines, though, they also have disadvantages; they can't gather energy at the same efficiency as horizontal axis ones because they are closer to the ground, where the wind is slower and objects (like buildings etc.) can disrupt the air flow. They are also slightly inefficient since half the time the blades will be going against the wind because of the angle they rotate at.

no .


When would you need to plot points on a coordinate grid?

You need an x axis, y axis, and 4 quadrants.


In what axis is the abscissa is always zero?

One possible answer is the y-axis. However, there need not be any y axis.
