The core of Jupiter probably contains rock and metallic hydrogen. The surface of Jupiter is made of water, methane, and ammonia.

Scientists are still finding moons around which planet?

Scientists are still finding moons around planets in our solar system, such as Jupiter and Saturn. For example, Jupiter has over 80 known moons, while Saturn has over 80 as well. Moons are also being discovered around exoplanets outside our solar system.


Are there any species living in Jupiter?

No one know because no one ever went to Jupiter. It's amosphere is always covered in clouds and storms, so we cannot see. Scientists tend to think that Jupiter has actualy no surface. There might be living some species like bacteria and viruses... but probably no plants or animals.


Why do some scientists think that Jupiter's existence may have been critical for life to evolve on Earth?

Some scientists believe Jupiter played a role in protecting Earth from frequent asteroid impacts that could have otherwise inhibited the evolution of life. Jupiter's strong gravitational force can deflect or capture incoming asteroids, reducing the number of impacts on Earth. This allowed life to flourish by providing a more stable environment for evolution.


What constellation does Jupiter not pass through?

How do scientists think that stars were formed?

Scientists believe that stars form from clouds of gas and dust in space, called nebulae. When these clouds become dense enough, gravity causes them to collapse and form a protostar. As the protostar gathers more material, its temperature and pressure increase until nuclear fusion ignites, turning it into a full-fledged star.
