As the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter affects other planets with its immense gravitational pull, a force second only to the pull of the Sun. Though constructed of the same material as the Sun, it would need to be at least 80 times larger to sustain fusion and become a star. Regardless, it acts upon bodies in a similar way as the Sun, grabbing objects from far away and pulling them toward itself with intense speed. Such high speeds that Jupiter in fact helps protect the Earth by grabbing objects that enter the solar system and flinging them away from itself.
This protective action has undoubtedly aided Earth in not encountering many objects that might do it harm throughout the time since its creation.
Though, to note, this same gravitational grab and toss simply ejects objects away from Jupiter in a near random direction. Thus, it could be concluded that it might be possible for Jupiter to one day grab an object and send it straight for Earth. Such an object would be traveling at a speed too enormous for astronomers to have any warning, and near, if not complete, cataclysm could occur, negating any past protection Jupiter might have provided.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you not notice Jupiter's pull of gravity?
Because you are so far away from Jupiter, and so much closer to the Earth.
If you weighed 65 pounds on earth how much would you weigh on Jupiter?
On Jupiter, your weight would be about 154 pounds. Jupiter's gravity is stronger than Earth's, so objects weigh more on Jupiter compared to Earth.
Does earth have a longer day than Jupiter?
Yes 1 day on Earth is 24 hours, 1 day on Jupiter is about 9.9 hours
How many days in a year on Jupiter?
Jupiter has around 10 hours shorter day compared to Earth. It revolves around the sun once in about 11.86 Earth years. So, a year on Jupiter is roughly equivalent to 4,332 Earth days.
How many earth days are in 1 Jupiter year?
There are 4015 earth days in a Jupiter year. jupter's year is equal to 11 earth years. 365 times 11 equals 4015.
How are Earth and Jupiter alike?
They both have storms such as ( lightning and swirling clods)
Information about Jupiter?
Jupiter is so big that 1,300 Earth's could fit inside Jupiter.
What is the surface areas of Jupiter?
I know this answer, it is:62,179,600,000 km2
Why is Jupiter so cruel to earth?
It's not. Jupiter is not a living thing. It is a gas planet.
Why do you not notice Jupiter's pull of gravity?
Because you are so far away from Jupiter, and so much closer to the Earth.
When will Jupiter crash on earth?
It won't. Both Jupiter and Earth are in stable orbits, and there is no reason for that to change. In any event, Jupiter is thousands of times the size of Earth, so it would be more correct to say that Earth would crash into Jupiter. Again, this is extremely improbable.
Can Jupiter swallow the earth?
If the Earth were to collide with Jupiter, there would be a tremendous splash - but yes, Jupiter would probably swallow up the Earth. However, Earth's orbit does not come anywhere near Jupiter's, so the chances of a collision must be considered to be extremely remote.
Does a chocolate weigh more on Jupiter or Earth?
The weight of matter on any planet depends upon the gravitational force of that planet. Jupiter has more gravitational force than Earth, so anything (including chocolate) would weigh more there. (Jupiter has no true surface, so you could not weigh anything there.)
How many earth days in Jupiter are 9 earth hours and 55 minutes?
In Jupiter, 9 Earth hours and 55 minutes is approximately equal to 0.4167 Jupiter days. Jupiter's rotational period is about 9.9 hours, so 9 Earth hours and 55 minutes is less than half a Jupiter day.
Is Jupiter a boy?
yes and so is earth and mars
If you weighed 65 pounds on earth how much would you weigh on Jupiter?
On Jupiter, your weight would be about 154 pounds. Jupiter's gravity is stronger than Earth's, so objects weigh more on Jupiter compared to Earth.
Does earth have a longer day than Jupiter?
Yes 1 day on Earth is 24 hours, 1 day on Jupiter is about 9.9 hours
