Great question to chew on ! And I think I can work it out, at least
to an order-of-magnitude approximation.
Radius of Jupiter's orbit is around 5 AU = 5 x 93 million = 465,000,000 miles.
15 light years = 15 x 5.8787 x 1012 = 8.818 x 1013 miles
(Tangent)-1 of (5 AU / 15 LY) = 0.000302 degree = roughly like 1.09 arc-second.
There's a rule for the resolution you need in order to completely resolve two sources
that subtend a given angle, and I don,t remember what it is. But the order of magnitude
for this particular case is about 1 arc-second ... with one bright object and a dim one.
That calculation looks right and the separation can theoretically be resolved by a telescope with a 4½" aperture. But there is a big difference in brightness because the Sun would be a star of magnitude 3.2 while Jupiter's magnitude would be about 21. So a considerably bigger telescope would be needed because to see something that dim needs a big aperture, round about 100".
10 light years = approx 5.8786 x 1013 miles
Sun/Earth distance = approx 9.3 x 107 miles
Forget about the size/diameter of the sun or Earth. Let's just see what kind of angle
93 million miles looks like from 10 LY away.
tangent ( Θ ) = approx 9.3 x 107 / 5.8786 x 1013 = 1.582 x 10-6
For angles like that, tan( Θ ) = approx ( Θ )
Θ = 1.582 x 10-6 radian = approx 9.064 x 10-5 degree = 0.326 second of arc.
Use the ratio 1.582 x 10-6 to create a situation that we can relate to:
A US dime (10¢) is 17.9 mm in diameter.
When you look at a dime that's 7.031 miles from your face, it has the same apparent size
as the space between the sun and Earth as seen by an observer 10 light years away from
our solar system.
You Could be able to see Jupiter from mars but not mars from Jupiter because Jupiter has an atmosphere of thick dense orange clouds which in comparison to earth like looking for the stars in pure daylight on a very cloudy afternoon
Jupiter appears to be multicolored, but it actually has no surface because it is not solid. Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune also lack a planetary surface.
Saturn is the second biggest planet in our solar system.
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, with a diameter of 142,984 and a mass of 1899x1024kg. Not only could Jupiter hold all the planets inside of it if it were hollow, but it would also fit all the moons inside of it as well (and there would still be room for more!).
That is the planet Jupiter. The black spot was created recently when a asteroid collided with it. Jupiter has a Great Red Spot created through storms. No planet has a black spot no mars has a giant red spot and mercury has the black spot
Jupiter is called the Bully of the Solar System because Jupiter is the biggest planet in theSolar System. I hope I gave you the answer you were looking for!
I assume you meant to say, "Can you tell what a can is by looking at it?" Yes you can. Aluminum cans have a distinct shape.

Yes, assuming you are looking down at it from above its north pole. Because clockwise and counterclockwise are dependent on where you're looking from, astronomers prefer the terms prograde and retrograde. Jupiter's revolution is prograde.
Jupiter is made of gas, so it has plenty of that. However, if you're looking for features, there is a dark red spot which is actually a storm
Astronomy is the science of looking at the sky to see stars, planets and other things in space. As Jupiter is a planet that can be seen, it is related to Astronomy.
Is there atmosphere on Jupiter? Most definitely. When you see the light and dark stripes that wrap Jupiter, you're looking at it's atmosphere. It's mostly made up of Hydrogen and Helium. The Red Spot is an example of the turbulence amidst Jupiter's dense atmosphere.
I believe you are looking for three: the exposition, conflict and resolution.
Jupiter does have a feint ring system. It was discovered by the voyager space probes in the 70's, only seen whn looking back on the planet.
You know what planet Jupiter looks like by viewing it through a telescope, or looking at photos that other people have taken of it through a telescope.
Yes.
300 DPI is a very low resolutioe resolution rating. If this is the maximum resolution for the laser printer that you are looking at, do not buy it if you need sharp (or even acceptable quality) graphics. 300 DPI is the lowest common printing resolution, and dots are easily seen when looking at an image printed. Most laser printers, however have a 300 DPI setting, along with 600 and 1,200 DPI resolutions. The resolution of a laser printer does not matter if you plan on only printing black text, as resolution does not matter in this case.
