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.

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.

How does the heat Jupiter radiates compare to the energy it receives from the Sun?

Jupiter radiates about 1.6 times more energy than it receives from the Sun. This excess heat is leftover from Jupiter's formation and helps to sustain its atmosphere and powerful weather systems.


Which emits the most energy Jupiter or the sun?

The Sun emits significantly more energy than Jupiter. Jupiter is a gas giant planet and does not generate its own energy like the Sun does. The Sun's energy output is the result of nuclear fusion reactions occurring in its core, while Jupiter primarily radiates the energy it receives from the Sun.

What planet gives off more energy than it receives from the Sun?

Jupiter gives off more energy than it receives from the Sun. This additional energy is due to the planet's interior heat, which is a result of its gravitational compression and the residual heat from its formation.


Does Jupiter absorb heat from the sun?

Jupiter does not absorb heat from the Sun. Instead, it reflects sunlight due to its thick atmosphere and cloud cover. Jupiter's atmosphere interacts with sunlight, leading to the planet's distinct appearance and weather patterns.


Why does Jupiter emit so much energy?

Jupiter emits more energy than it receives from the Sun due to its internal heat leftover from its formation. This heat is generated by gravitational forces compressing its core, which causes Jupiter to radiate excess energy. as a result, Jupiter emits more energy than it absorbs from the Sun.

How cold does it get on Jupiter?

Jupiter has a fairly constant temperature. On the surface, Jupiter reaches a bone-chilling temperature of -234 degrees Fahrenheit. It rarely gets more than a few degrees warmer than this.
