Jupiter turns about 2 and 1/2 times as fast as Earth and it's about 11 times bigger, so its equatorial "surface" is moving about 27,000 miles per hour, compared with Earth's about 1,000 mph.

So, the answer is "about 27 timesfaster".

Keep in mind, however, that while Earth's equator is solid or liquid (that is, it crosses land and sea), all that we see of Jupiter is its gas clouds.

Why do jet streams have a high velocity?

Because of the high altitude, these winds are not subject to much friction, hence they are faster than winds closer to earth's surface.


Why does a spacecraft does not burns when it move from earth to space but it burns while returning from there?

When a spacecraft goes into space its speed increases dramatically once it leave the earths atmosphere. When it is returning to earth, it hits the atmosphere at a faster rate than it was traveling when it left. The friction of the atmosphere against the craft, heats it up.


How does height affect crater size?

Height affects crater size primarily through the impact velocity of a projectile. The greater the height from which an object falls, the faster it will be traveling upon impact due to gravitational acceleration, leading to a larger crater. Additionally, the energy of the impact is proportional to the square of the velocity, meaning that even small increases in height can result in significantly larger craters. However, other factors like the object's mass and composition also play crucial roles in determining the final crater size.


Which way does the moon actually revolve around earth?

Any satellite experiences an acceleration towards its primary (technically, towards the barycenter of the system). With respect to its orbital velocity it accelerates for half of its orbit, and decelerates for the other half. This is because its orbit around the earth is an ellipse and not a circle. It accelerates as it moves toward its closest approach to earth (perigee) and then decelerates until it is farthest away from earth (apogee).

What is termanal velocity?

Perhaps you mean terminal velocity. This is the maximum velocity reached by an object falling to the ground when the acceleration due to gravity is matched by the drag resistance of the air through which it is falling.


Why Does a car have a higher momentum because it is traveling faster?

A car has higher momentum when traveling faster because momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. When a car is moving at a faster speed, it has a higher velocity, resulting in a greater momentum due to the increased product of mass and velocity.

no


How does a slope affect velocity?

the steeper the slope, the faster the velocity because the pull of gravity will be applied more since the resistance will be lower.


Does Jupiter have a larger equatorial diameter or polar diameter?

Jupiter spins so much faster than Earth, for instance, that its gassy state results in bulging out at the equator. The equatorial diameter is larger than the polar diameter.


Is light the fastest thing ever?

Tachyon is faster because when it loses energy it gets faster and its lowest velocity is the speed of light.


What happens before terminal velocity takes place?

Before terminal velocity is reached, an object will be accelerating due to the force of gravity. As the object accelerates, air resistance (drag) will increase, which will gradually counteract the force of gravity until the two forces are equal and the object reaches terminal velocity.


2 wave have the same frequency the faster of the two waves will have what?

Wavelength x frequency = velocity, so if the frequency is the same for two waves moving at different velocities, the faster wave must have a longer wavelength.


How would changing velocity affect acceleraition?

Changing velocity affects acceleration because acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity. If an object's velocity increases, its acceleration is positive. If the velocity decreases, the acceleration is negative. The magnitude of the acceleration depends on how quickly the velocity changes.
