What else can I help you with?
Why are Jupiter and its moons are sometimes thought of as forming their own solar system?
Because Jupiter has the most moons (62) and is the most massive planet in our solar system. So it can be a thought of like a central body or star, and its moons can be though of Planets that orbit this central body or Star.
What is the biggest satellite in the solar system of?
Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter, is the largest natural satellite in our solar system. But you could argue that Jupiter is the largest as it is a satellite of our sun. You could also argue that our own sun is a satellite of the galactic centre.
What moon is the most massive?
Ganymede, the largest moon of Jupiter has the most mass of all the moons in the Solar System
Which planet has the most mass of all the planets?
Jupiter has the greatest mass of all planets in the Solar System. Its mass is about 1.9x 1027 kg which is about 318 times greater than that of the Earth. The planet with the largest mass in our solar system is by far Jupiter, although larger planets are now known to exist elsewhere.
What are the names of Jupiters suns?
Jupiter has only one sun, the same one we have. It is usually just referred to as 'the sun', or Sol.
Why is Jupiter in the center of its univeres?
Jupiter is not in the center of the universe, but rather at the center of its own orbit within our solar system. Its position is determined by the gravitational forces acting on it by the sun, which is at the center of our solar system.
Is Mars the biggest planet in the universe?
No. Even in our own solar system it is 2nd smallest planet. The biggest planet in the solar system is Jupiter.
How much of the planetary mass of the solar system does Jupiter contain?
By my own calculations Jupiter counts for around 0.097% of the mass of the Solar System. The Sun on the other hand accounts for about 99.86%. After the mass of the Sun you have 0.14% of the mass of the solar system to distribute among the planets. Of this Jupiter takes up almost 0.10%

What moon is the most massive?
Ganymede, the largest moon of Jupiter has the most mass of all the moons in the Solar System
What is the name of the largest moon in your solar system?
The largest moon in our solar system is Ganymede, which orbits Jupiter. Ganymede is even larger than the planet Mercury and has its own magnetic field.
How many moons does Ganymede have?
None. Ganymede is a moon of Jupiter. No moon in the solar system has moons of its own.
Which planet has the most mass of all the planets?
Jupiter has the greatest mass of all planets in the Solar System. Its mass is about 1.9x 1027 kg which is about 318 times greater than that of the Earth. The planet with the largest mass in our solar system is by far Jupiter, although larger planets are now known to exist elsewhere.
Ganymede is a moon of which planet?
Ganymede is a moon of Jupiter. It is the largest moon in the solar system and is even larger than the planet Mercury. Ganymede is unique for having its own magnetic field.
What are the names of Jupiters suns?
Jupiter has only one sun, the same one we have. It is usually just referred to as 'the sun', or Sol.
What are the atmospheric conditions of Jupiter?
The composition of Jupiter's atmosphere is quite different from Earth's--Jupiter is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, the same elements that make up most stars. In fact, we expect that Jupiter has basically the same composition as the Sun. Like the Sun, Jupiter has its own heat source, but Jupiter's heat comes from heat left over from the formation of the planet 4.5 billion years ago, and heat produced today due to the slight contraction of the planet under its own gravity. This means that Jupiter's composition might be very much like the original solar nebula from which it--and the solar system--formed, so investigating Jupiter's atmosphere is a way for us to investigate the early solar system.
