Is it dark or light on Jupiter?

Jupiter itself does not emit light, so it can be considered dark. However, it reflects light from the Sun, so it can appear bright in the sky.


Why is the atmosphere on Jupiter so cold?

The atmosphere on Jupiter is cold because the planet is located much farther from the Sun than Earth, so it receives less solar energy. Additionally, Jupiter's thick atmosphere traps heat, preventing it from reaching the planet's surface.


Can planet earth obtain energy from the gases found in planet Jupiter?

The gases found on Jupiter could be useful on earth, particularly the hydrogen, which can be burned as a clean fuel. It would be very difficult and costly to get these gases though, and to get them back to earth. You would end up using so much energy to get the gas that it would not be worth it in the long run.


How can you found out how much you would weigh on Jupiter?

To find out how much you would weigh on Jupiter, you can multiply your weight on Earth by the acceleration due to gravity on Jupiter (approximately 24.79 m/s^2). Keep in mind that Jupiter's gravity is 2.53 times stronger than Earth's, so you would weigh significantly more on Jupiter compared to Earth.


Why does Jupiter give off more energy than it gets from the sun?

First of all, Jupiter, even though it is massive, gets almost no light from the Sun. It is more than 5 times from the Sun than the distance from the Earth to the Sun; that means the sunlight is much more spread out and Jupiter gets much less of it. Second of all, since Jupiter is SO massive, it actually exerts some energy because of its internal pressure.

Does Jupiter absorbs heat or reflect?

Jupiter gives off more heat than it receives from the sun, so "emit" might be a better answer than either of the ones given.


Does the energy from Sun energise other planets so they can emit light?

No. Planets do not emit light; they can only reflect light from the Sun.


Does Europa get enough heat from the sun?

Europa gets the amount of sunlight that moons of Jupiter can expect to get; not much. Jupiter is about 8 times further from the Sun than the Earth is, so it gets about 1/64th as much solar energy. "Enough"? Enough for what?

Why do you not notice Jupiter's pull of gravity?

Because you are so far away from Jupiter, and so much closer to the Earth.


What lets you know energy has been released?

The electrons are excited and they emit light. So light.


What does Jupiter have on it?

Not that much. No life, not many craters and so on...

Does polar ice cap emit energy?

Everything emits energy (radiation). Ice, less so than most other natural surfaces.


Does ganymede have energy or sunlight?

Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon, does receive sunlight as it orbits Jupiter. However, Ganymede does not have a significant atmosphere to trap and store energy like the Earth, so the sunlight it receives does not result in significant energy accumulation.


Which planet will shine without sun?

Jupiter, in a way, could do that. Jupiter does give out its own "light", but it's infra red light, so you can't see it. Jupiter gives out more energy than it gets from the Sun. Incidentally, Saturn and Neptune also do this to some extent.
