Yes, the Earth and Moon formed before Jupiter. The Earth is believed to have formed around 4.5 billion years ago, with the Moon forming shortly thereafter, likely as a result of a giant impact event. Jupiter, on the other hand, is estimated to have formed a bit later, around 4.4 billion years ago, as it accumulated gas and ice from the protoplanetary disk. Thus, the Earth and Moon predate Jupiter's formation.

What is the mass of a 20g weight on Jupiter and the moon?

The weight of an object remains the same regardless of its location, but its mass would be different due to the different gravitational forces on Jupiter and the Moon. On Jupiter, the mass would be about 7.49 times greater than on Earth, and on the Moon, it would be about 1/6th of the mass on Earth.

Does Jupiter and earth have similarities?

Only that they are planets with some of the biggest moons. Earth is solid, Jupiter is gaseous. Earth has no ring, but Jupiter has one that can barely be seen! Earth has one big moon (If a moon the same size orbits Jupiter, that moon is a great moon), while Jupiter has a ton of moons! Also, 1000 Earths can fit into a Jupiter.

How does the amount of gravity change between Earth and Jupiter?

Since Jupiter is further than the moon, there is not as much gravity as the Earth and moon.


How many of Earth's moon can fit inside Jupiter?

Jupiter has a planetary volume of 1321 times that of the Earth. The Moon has a volume 0.020 times that of the earth. so the volume of Jupiter is 66,050 times the volume of the earth's Moon.If you ignore the spaces left vacant by the spherical shape of the moon, you would fit 66,050 Earth moons inside Jupiter; considerably fewer if you are really packing spheres the size of Earth's moon within a sphere of Jupiter's volume.

What if Jupiter was earths moon?

Impossible. If true, it would have to be the other way around, whereas Earth will be Jupiter's moon. This is because the gravitational field of Jupiter is FAR greater than Earth's.
