Is Jupiter very hot?

As with any planet, the interior of Jupiter is quite hot, but at the level in its atmosphere where pressure is similar to what we find on Earth it is actually quite cold.


Why is there no atmosphere in Jupiter?

Jupiter has an atmosphere. Actually all the planet except the small core is one big atmosphere.


Could people live on Jupiter why or why not?

With sufficiently advanced technology, it would be possible for people to live on Jupiter, or more precisely, to live in the atmosphere of Jupiter - the surface of Jupiter is under excessively high atmospheric pressure, so it would be more feasible to live in huge floating balloons or zeppelins. However, the planet Jupiter is very cold, the atmosphere is not breathable, and everything considered, it is a very inhospitable place for people to try to live. People are much more likely to be interested in living on the moons of Jupiter, rather than on Jupiter itself. Still, I could see a scientific mission to Jupiter, just to do research.


Is Jupiter freezing?

No, Jupiter is not freezing. Jupiter is a gas giant planet composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, and its core is thought to be extremely hot. The outer layers of Jupiter's atmosphere can reach temperatures as low as -145 degrees Celsius, but the planet as a whole is not freezing.


What is the humidity of Jupiter?

There is hardly any water in Jupiter's vast atmosphere making humidty almost zero. So astronomers don't exactly have a humidity for Jupiter. sources: me (I am an astronomer specifically based to research and help NASA o the Juno Mission) BY the way, if you are interested in Jupiter, Mission Juno will have outcomes in august 2016.

Is Jupiter's atmosphere thin?

Jupiter's atmosphere is extremelythick.


Are there sandstorms on Jupiter?

Jupiter does not have sandstorms like those found on Earth. Jupiter's atmosphere is made up of mainly hydrogen and helium gases, with no solid surface for sandstorms to occur. Instead, Jupiter's atmosphere experiences powerful winds and storm systems, such as the Great Red Spot.

Why is the temperature on the surface of Jupiter much lower than that on earth?

The "Surface" of Jupiter is hard to define as it is a gas giant but the top of the atmosphere (however you want ti define that) is cold due to heat radiating into space. Jupiter is so much farther from the Sun than Earth is, the Sun cannot heat Jupiter's atmosphere. And the heat form the interior (it is actually hotter than the surface of the Sun deep inside Jupiter!) dissipates into space.


Is Jupiter hot or cold?

Jupiter Is 12986549712 kilometers away from the Sun so it is as cold as -82 F, but its core temperature Is 344453 C. That's pretty hot. It also has a hairy mantle that keeps it warm.


Can monkeys live on Jupiter?

No. Extremely cold, extremely high gravity, poisonous atmosphere, no solid surface. No bananas.


Why isn't it possible to live on Jupiter?

Because there is not enough oxygen and it is too cold and I just wasn't meant to be well first there is no atmosphere on jupitor and also it is a gas planet so its made completely out of gas and third its very cold


How hot or cold is Jupiter?

At the level of Jupiter's atmosphere where the pressure is the same as the average pressure on Earth at sea level, the average temperature is -108° C. However, the outer part of Jupiter gets more heat from Jupiter's core than it gets from the sun.

Can you breathe Jupiter's atmosphere?

No. Jupiter's atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium with no free oxygen.


How are Earth and Jupiter alike?

They both have storms such as ( lightning and swirling clods)


Heavy atmosphere or no atmosphere in Jupiter?

Jupiter has a very thick atmosphere composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, along with traces of other gases. This atmosphere is so dense that it becomes increasingly compressed and changes to a liquid-like state deeper within the planet.
