Can a space shuttle land on Jupiter?
Jupiter is one of the four 'gas giant' planets. Unlike rocky worlds like Earth, Jupiter is composed almost entirely of gas. Inside this swirling ball of gas lies a small core of solid rock.
Jupiter is a 'gas giant', so it's not possible to land a ship on its surface. Travelling far below the clouds of this planet is not advised. Temperatures and pressures soon begin to rise. So far, no probes have survived over 150 metres below the surface of Jupiter.
It is not possible to land on Jupiter. It is made primarily from hydrogen & helium gases, with a rocky core consisting of heavier elements.
Is the earth a rocky or gas giant?
It's A Rock.
A Gas you can't feel.
I'm going to say that yes it is a rock but our second thought was gas so don't feel mistakened
What are some Outstanding features of new york?
Some outstanding features of New York include its diverse culture, world-class dining scene, iconic landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building, and vibrant entertainment options ranging from Broadway shows to music concerts.
How do orbital resonances with Jupiter have affected the asteroid belt?
Orbital resonances with Jupiter have influenced the distribution of asteroids in the asteroid belt by creating gaps known as Kirkwood gaps. These gaps occur at specific distances from Jupiter where orbital resonances with the planet prevent the accumulation of asteroids. As a result, asteroids in these resonant orbits are either ejected from the belt or pushed into different orbits.
How many planets were named after the mythological god?
All of the planets (except Earth) were named for ancient gods. This practice is now enshrined in tradition, and any planets discovered in the future are to be named for gods and demigods. For example, the moon recently discovered around Pluto was named Charon.
Why aren't all the planets same colour?
Planets have different colors because of variations in their composition and atmosphere. Factors like the presence of different minerals, gases, and atmospheric conditions can affect the color of a planet. Additionally, the angle at which sunlight hits the planet can also influence its appearance.
I/O ports, short for Input/Output ports, are physical interfaces on a computer or device that allow the exchange of data with external devices. These ports can be used for connecting peripherals such as keyboards, mice, printers, and storage devices to a computer. There are different types of I/O ports, including USB, HDMI, Ethernet, and audio ports.
Jupiter is approximately 4.5 billion years old, just like the rest of the solar system, as it formed around the same time as the Sun and other planets.
The Rings Are Formed By Ice And Rock. How They Where Formed Im Not Quite Sure, But Ice And Rock And The Reason They Are There. Dont Know If That Answers your Question, But I'd Like To Think It Did. :D

How many times more massive than Jupiter is the sun?
Of all of the mass in the solar system, the Sun is 99.5%. Of the half-percent left, over half is Jupiter, leaving one quarter of one percent of the solar system's mass for the Earth, Mars, Venus, the other planets, all the asteroids and comets and all the space dust.
Your weight on Jupiter would be 2.5 times your weight on Earth due to Jupiter's stronger gravitational pull. For example, if you weigh 150 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 375 pounds on Jupiter.
How are Saturn and Jupiter differ from Pluto?
Saturn and Jupiter are gas giants, much larger than Pluto which is a dwarf planet. Saturn and Jupiter have rings, while Pluto does not. Additionally, Saturn and Jupiter are part of the main asteroid belt, while Pluto is located in the Kuiper Belt on the outer edges of the solar system.
How long in years and days is 11.86?
11 years and just under 314 days, which is the time it takes for Jupiter to orbit the sun.
What is the average distance between asteroids in the asteroid belt?
Unlike old science fiction movies which gives you the impression that asteroids are close together, the average distance between asteroids is approximately 1 million km. If you were to travel through the asteroid belt, the chance of encountering an asteroid is next to nothing.
Is Jupiter bigger than Saturn?
Jupiter is bigger than Saturn. Saturn's rings extend far out, but these don't really count as part of the planet. It only appears that Saturn might be larger as it is closer to Earth than Jupiter.
What does Jupiter look like on the inside?
Saturn, the sixth planet is not a solid land surface but it is the mixture of gases. If you travel all round it in a rocket, it will take 2 days. When scientists sent satellites and probes to Saturn they realized that it was a gas planet. In 1610 the Italian scientist Galileo Galilei was the first to discover Saturn's rings, which surrounded it. The rings seemed to disappear, but the angle at which he was looking at through the telescope was wacked because of the atmosphere of Saturn.
What is the time taken for the planet Jupiter to rotate on its axis once?
Jupiter is not known to have a solid surface to rotate. Its equivalent of a "jet stream" makes one full revolution in 9.925 hours, which is moving along right fast.
Why does Jupiter orbit faster than Neptune?
The simplest and most accurate answer to the question is: Because that's how
gravity works.
The way gravity works, an object in a smaller orbit always moves faster than an
object in a larger orbit around the same central body. "Faster" in this context means miles per hour or other, similar measures of velocity (linera distance per unit time).
So the object in the larger orbit takes a double hit: It has farther to go, PLUS
it moves slower, so it's definitely going to take a lot more time for each orbit.
Here's a real-world, everyday example that's right in front our face and so
obvious that we don't even notice it:
-- International Space Station, about 240 miles up, takes 91 minutes per orbit.
-- That's about 570 miles per minute.
-- Geostationary TV satellite, about 22,000 miles up, takes 24 hours per orbit.
-- That's about 113 miles per minute.
-- Moon, about 240,000 miles up, takes 27.32 days per orbit.
-- That's about 39 miles per minute !
And also by the way, none of this has anything to do with the size or the
mass of the orbiting body. Makes no difference. Only the size of the orbit.
That's why an astronaut on a 'space-walk' was able to float gently away from
the Space Shuttle, and then float gently back to it. While they were separated,
the Shuttle and the astronaut moved at the same speed and stayed in the same
Earth orbit, even though the Shuttle was somewhat larger and had a little more
This phenomenon is called "Kepler's Law of Periods". Look that phrase up to find out more about it.
How long would it take to go to Jupiter in a space shottle?
It would take between 6-9 months to travel from Earth to Jupiter using current space shuttle technology, depending on the position of both planets in their orbits. The distance between Earth and Jupiter varies due to their orbits around the sun.
How many moons do Jupiter have to be exact?
Jupiter has 63 moons discovered to date. Some names of Jupiter's moon are Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto and many more.
What are the beautiful spot of region ten?
Region 10 in the Philippines is known for its stunning beaches, such as Siargao Island with its famous surf spots and crystal-clear waters. The Enchanted River in Hinatuan is a magical spot with its vibrant blue waters, perfect for swimming and relaxing. For nature lovers, the Sohoton Cove National Park offers breathtaking limestone cliffs, hidden lagoons, and lush forests to explore.
This planet is home to the Great Red Spot?
The Great Red Spoton Jupiter is a cyclonic storm system, a hurricane three times the size of Earth, that has lasted for hundreds or thousands of years. The storm has changed only slightly since Giovanni Cassini observed it in the 1600s. It has become more circular over time, but probably will remain oval.
The largest cyclonic storm on the planet Jupiter, it has has lasted at least 200 years, and possibly much longer. It is apparently only slowly shrinking in size. The prevailing theory is that eddies in the thick, dense atmosphere are added to the Spot over time. Its towering cloud tops prevent the loss of heat from the underlying layers, and there is no solid surface to diminish it through friction (as occurs with storms on Earth).
The color darkens or fades over time, coinciding with changes in the atmosphere at that latitude.
Galileo's observations of the gibbous phase of Venus proved what?
Galileo's observations of the gibbous phase of Venus proved that the Sun was the center of the Solar System, with the planets revolving around it. This disproved the prevailing theory of the time that the planets orbited around the Earth.
What is the capital of Jupiter?
Uranus is an uninhabited planet. (There is no solid surface to inhabit.)
No people, no need for cities, thus...no capital.
