What does Jupiter have in common with the sun that the terrestrial planets don't?
Jupiter consists of hydrogen and helium (primarily) like the Sun. It has a host of satellites in orbit around its equatorial plane. The sun has natural satellites (planets) that orbit its equatorial plane.
How much time does it take for Jupiter to orbit earth?
Jupiter does not orbit the earth. It takes 11.86 years for Jupiter to orbit the sun.
What is the object in orbit around a planet?
they are termed as satellites
Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?
Moons orbit around planets. They are natural satellites that are held in orbit by the planet's gravitational pull.
Where do communications satellites orbit?

Are there any moons planets or satellites that orbit jupiter?
Yes. Jupiter has 67 known moons. No planets orbit Jupiter, as any planet-like object that orbits a planet is considered a moon.
What is an apojove?
An apojove is the spot which is furthest away from Jupiter in the orbit of each of its own satellites.
How many satellites are there orbiting Jupiter?
approximately 63 natural satellites are revolving around the BIG Jumbo "Jupiter".
The planet with the most satellites?
Earth. Earth has one natural satellite, the moon, which is in orbit around the earth. There are around 3000 man made satellites currently in orbit. Jupiter has the most natural satellites (moons), over 60 have been confirmed. It has no man made satellites in orbit around it, but did have one between 1995 and 2003, an orbiter called Galileo.
How many man-made satellites does Jupiter have?
As of June 2011, Jupiter has 67 confirmed natural satellites, or "moons" orbiting the planet Jupiter. 50 are named moons and 17 have provisional designations based on the year they were first sighted. (see the related question and links)
What are the names of the satellites that orbit the sun?
The satellites that orbit the sun are the planets. In order they are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. There are also additional satellites, such as the asteroid belt, various comets and proto-planets.
Does any planet orbit Jupiter?
No, planets orbit around the sun. There are over 60 moons that orbit around Jupiter though.
What are some satellites or robots on Jupiter?
Some examples of satellites or robots that have been sent to Jupiter include NASA's Juno spacecraft, which has been in orbit around Jupiter since 2016, and the Galileo spacecraft, which orbited Jupiter from 1995 to 2003. Additionally, the European Space Agency's JUICE (JUpiter ICy moons Explorer) mission is planned to launch in 2022 to study Jupiter and its moons.
