The "Surface" of Jupiter is hard to define as it is a gas giant but the top of the atmosphere (however you want ti define that) is cold due to heat radiating into space. Jupiter is so much farther from the Sun than Earth is, the Sun cannot heat Jupiter's atmosphere.

And the heat form the interior (it is actually hotter than the surface of the Sun deep inside Jupiter!) dissipates into space.

Is the temperature similar on Jupiter and Earth?

No, the temperature on Jupiter is much colder than on Earth. Jupiter is a gas giant planet located much farther from the sun, leading to much lower temperatures. Additionally, Jupiter's thick atmosphere traps heat causing temperature variations across the planet.


Why temperature outside the plane is lowest when at high altitude?

Because - the further you are away from the Earth's surface - the lower the temperature is.


What is Jupiter's surface pressure?

Neptune's atmosphere is sub-divided into two main regions; the lower troposphere, where temperature decreases with altitude, and the stratosphere, where temperature increases with altitude. The boundary between the two, the tropopause, occurs at a pressure of 0.1 bars (10 kPa). The stratosphere then gives way to the thermosphere at a pressure lower than 10−5 to 10−4 microbars


Is there more gravity on Earth than on Jupiter?

Yes, there is more gravity on Jupiter than on Earth. Jupiter is a much larger and more massive planet than Earth, so it has a stronger gravitational pull. This means that the force of gravity on Jupiter is greater than on Earth.


What is the surface like on Jupiter?

Jupiter is a gas giant, so it doesn't have a solid surface like Earth does. Instead, much of it is composed of atmospheric gases (mainly hydrogen and helium). Deep within the atmosphere, there is liquid hydrogen gas, and it is thought that the centre of the planet is composed of a solid core of rock that's around the same size as Earth. If there is a solid surface the gravity is so strong you would likely have difficulty moving and it would be very cold.

Are the temperature of the moon are higher or lower than the earth?

the temperature of the earth is lower than the Earth.


If the Jupiter is much larger than the earth why does it have lower density?

because jupiter is a gaseous planet while earth is rocky.

Is jupiters atmosphere hot or cold?

Hot and cold are comparative terms. It is colder on Jupiter's surface than it is on Earth's surface, by mean. Wikipedia gives the mean surface temperature as 112-165 K, which translates to about -108 Celsius and lower (consider +21 Celsius is recognized as standard room temperature on earth). The coldest temperatures ever verified on earth seem to rank at around -90 Celsius in what are essentially uninhabitable areas. An important realization is that, due to many factors, Earth's temperature is extremely consistent. A mean temperature hides the fact that other planets undergo 'daily' cycles that range in temperature by hundreds of Celsius. If that happened on Earth, we wouldn't last very long. Caveats to this question/answer include: Fluctuations of temperature according to location on Jupiter/Earth, where Jupiter/Earth is in its orbit, where you even define 'surface' to be on a gas giant, etc etc.


What the temperature in Celsius of the earth's lower mantle?

The temperature in the Earth's lower mantle is estimated to be between 1,600 and 2,200 degrees Celsius.


How does earth's temperature change from the earth's surface to the lower thermosphere?

As you move from the Earth's surface to the lower thermosphere, the temperature generally decreases with increasing altitude in the troposphere and mesosphere due to the decreasing density of air molecules. However, in the stratosphere, the temperature can increase with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation by ozone. In the thermosphere, temperatures can vary widely depending on solar activity, reaching very high temperatures due to interactions with solar radiation.


What are some solutions to lower sea surface temperatures?

Ocean stratification is one of the solutions to lower the sea surface temperature.
