Planet Jupiter

Of the eight planets, Jupiter has the most known satellites (63+). However, Saturn may have more than its known count of 60, as Saturn is much farther away and its moons more difficult to observe.

Jupiter is a gas giant composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, so it does not have a solid surface where minerals can form. The extreme pressure and temperature on Jupiter prevent the formation of mineral deposits as we know them on Earth.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar System so any of the other planets could fit inside a volume the size of Jupiter, some of them many times over.

In Roman mythology, Jupiter (also known as Jove) was the king of the gods and the god of the sky and thunder. He was the son of Saturn and Ops, and he overthrew his father to become the ruler of the universe. Jupiter is often associated with power, authority, and protection.

385000 km is 0.002573566 astronomical units.

Io, a figure from Greek mythology, was a priestess of Hera who was transformed into a heifer. Her descendant is Hercules (Heracles), the legendary hero, as he was a direct descendant of Zeus, who had an affair with Io. This connection highlights the intricate relationships among the characters in Greek myths, where many heroes trace their lineage back to various divine figures.

Jupiter has no proper surface like the Earth does. However at around 5000 kilometres (3000 miles) deep, high pressure causes the gasses of which Jupiter is composed to liquefy. This is a smooth transition from gas to liquid though, so its hard to say at which point the 'surface' actually begins.

It is equally logical to infer that at extreme depths the pressure that liquefies gasses also can create great heat, thus causing solids to liquefy as well, such as certain metals and other crystalline solids.

The average distances between the gas planets and the sun are as follows: Jupiter is approximately 484 million miles, Saturn is around 890 million miles, Uranus is about 1.784 billion miles, and Neptune is roughly 2.795 billion miles away from the sun.

The size of Earth can be accurately estimated by satellite measuring devices and simple geometry. The density of Earth can be derived by the effect of its gravitation on other nearby planetary bodies.

Jupiter's rings are made up of small particles of dust and rock, and they are likely formed from material ejected by the planet's moons due to impacts. The rings are not related to the planet being "married."

It is a vast storm - similar to a hurricane on earth, astronomers believe - it has been going on for centuries, perhaps millennia. It does fade from time to time, but then brightens again.

i think it's 4 1/2 years which is a lot faster than uranus which i believe takes like 10 years . don't quote me but uranus is farther than the earths 93,000,000 miles from the sun so it takes uranus a longer time to revolve around the sun, which gives scientists more reason to ask how's uranus doing today

Planet Uranus is so far away that scientist do not know nearly what they would like to about it. However, it is believed that the planet is composed of rock and metals surrounded by gas and ice.

Neptune

I will try my best to discover that proves that life exist in Jupiter but base on research that life cannot exist in planet Jupiter. If i have chance to go to Jupiter i would take my chances for the purpose of saving people in case if the mother Earth would be destroyed.

It is a huge cloud actually the whole plant is a colorful band of clouds.

Scientists say that the giant cloud stays in the same place under the planet's equator and causes disturbances such as whirlpools and wind storms etc. on the planet

The two planets that have orbits that neighbor Jupiter's are Saturn and Mars.

The maximum distance of Mars form the Sun is 249,209,300 km

The maximum distance of Jupiter form the Sun is 816,520,800 km

The maximum distance of Saturn from the Sun is 1,513,325,783 km

From this you can work out the distance they would be apart if they were all at their maximum distance and all lined up on the same side of the Sun.

However, remember the planets all go round the Sun and at any one time the distance between Mars, and Jupiter or Jupiter and Saturn will depend where they are in relation to each other on their orbits. In some cases they could be on either side of the Sun.

Jupiter is mostly a beige or light brown color, with some regions displaying hints of orange and red. These colors are primarily due to the planet's composition of hydrogen, helium, and various trace gases.

Mercury will appear at duck in the Southern Hemisphere during late August 2014. The Northern Hemisphere would not have been able to see the planet at the beginning of the month because it was too close to the Sun to observe.

You would still be twelve, since time is the more or less the same on both planets. But if you are 12 years old the it is slightly more than 1 Jupiter year.

Jupiter takes 11.862615 years to orbit the Sun.

No, The orbital speed of the Earth is 30km/s whereas Jupiter is 13.07km/s
