Jupiter rotates the fastest of all of the planets. However, the gaseous atmosphere rotates at a different speed depending on the distance from the equator. The equatorial rotation period (day) is about 9.9 Earth hours.

Nearer the poles, the rotation period is about 9 hours, 55 minutes.

Around the equator, the period decreases to 9 hours, 50 minutes, despite the substantial equatorial bulge.

A Jupiter day is 0.41354 as long as our day or about 10 hours. The year is 4332.71 Earth days long or about 12 earth years. A month is determined by the revolution of our moon around the earth. Jupiter has many moons so it does not have months like we do.

Jupiters length of day?

Jupiter's length of day, as in its rotation period, is about 9.9 hours. This rapid rotation causes Jupiter to have an oblate shape, flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator.


How long is the length of day in Jupiter?

How many mph is 1275 furlongs per Jupiter day?

To convert 1275 furlongs per Jupiter day into mph, we need to consider the length of a Jupiter day. A day on Jupiter is approximately 9.9 Earth hours. First, convert furlongs to miles (1 furlong is 0.125 miles), then divide the distance by the length of a Jupiter day to find the speed in mph. So, 1275 furlongs/day * 0.125 miles/furlong = 159 miles/day, and 159 miles/day / 9.9 hours/day = approximately 16.06 mph.

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest planet in the Solar System. The length of one day on Jupiter is 9 hours and 56 minutes.


Why is a day on Jupiter shorter than a day on earth?

A day on Jupiter is shorter than a day on Earth because Jupiter rotates much faster on its axis compared to Earth. This rapid rotation causes Jupiter to complete a full rotation in about 10 hours, leading to shorter day length.


How long does it take for Jupiter to do one spin?

Jupiter rotates on its axis once every 9.9 hours, which is the length of its day.


How many minutes are in an hour on Jupiter?

60. The length of the year and the length of the day on Jupiter will differ from that of Earth because a year is the length of time it takes to complete a circuit around the sun and a day is the length of time it takes to rotate on its axis. However, hours, minutes, and seconds are units of time that do not change on other planets.
