Why would it be futile to attempt to detect sounds from other planets even given the very best in audio detectors?

How long would it take to walk around Jupiter if you could walk on Jupiter?

At the level in the atmosphere where the pressure is one (1) bar, Jupiter has an equatorial circumference of about 44384 miles. A standard walking pace for someone energetically walking distance is 4 miles per hour.At that rate, if there were a surface to walk on, and there is not one at that level, it would take a person 11096 hours or 924 Earth days (walking 12 hours per day) or a bit more than 2.5 years to walk around Jupiter, assuming you never took a day to rest or be ill.


What would happen if the Terminator were to land on the moon?
