On the planet Jupiter, the biggest attraction would be to visit the Great Red Spot, a huge storm that has been around for over a hundred years. The storm is now shrinking but scientists don't know if and when it will disappear completely.
In addition, you could visit Jupiter's unique moons. Io is the only moon that has an active volcano. Scientists are studying this moon to help them discover how our Earth was created.
Another interesting thing to do on Jupiter would be to visit every layer, the closer to the core you go the hotter it gets so you would have to be careful, but you could examine the contrast in the ammonia crystal swirls as seen from space, or go 50km deeper and see the hydrogen and helium layer.
What is the average daytime temperature of the planet Jupiter?
At the cloud tops, the temperature is about -145 degrees C. The pressure of the atmosphere is 10 times what we have on Earth, the temperatures are room temperature or 20 degrees C. The centre of the planet is about 35,700 degrees C. The answer depends on how deep you are into Jupiter's atmosphere. Jupiter is a "gas giant", so it has no surface as we would conceive of. It does, however, have clouds; and at the top of the clouds, the temperature is around -130c. The temperature increases gradually with increasing depth, as you sink through the cloud layers. There is a region where temperatures and pressures are similar to those on the Earth; it had been supposed there were water clouds there, and possibly life - but the space probe dispatched by Galileo found no water clouds.
The temperature then increases to hundreds and eventually thousands of degrees (at which depths there would be no daylight) - at which point the hydrogen/ helium atmosphere slowly becomes liquid under the pressure. Estimates for the temperature of the solid rocky core, some 60,000km deep into the planet, vary from 30,000 to 250,000c.
Which are the four biggest satellites of Jupiter?
The four biggest satellites of Jupiter are Ganymede, Callisto, Io, and Europa. Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system and is even bigger than the planet Mercury. These four moons are known as the Galilean moons, named after Galileo Galilei who discovered them in 1610.
1) Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system.
2) You can fit 1,321 Earths inside Jupiter.
3) Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in the Solar System.
4) The clouds on Jupiter are only 50 km thick.
5) Jupiter's magnetic field is 14 times as strong as Earth.
6) Jupiter has 63 moons.
7) Jupiter has been visited 7 times by spacecraft from Earth.
8) Jupiter is twice as heavy as all of the other seven planets added together.
9) Jupiter was named after 'Jupiter', the king of Roman gods.
10) Jupiter has the shortest day in the Solar System, extending up to only 10 hours.
Do you weigh more on Jupiter than earth?
You would weigh about 2.3 times more on Jupiter than you would on earth, because of Jupiter's massive size. Your mass would remain the same though.
What are the similarities of Jupiter and Saturn?
The similarities between the outer planets and Pluto are:
How many Jupiters would it take to fill up the sun?
According to www.nineplanets.org the radius of the Sun is 697,000 km, which means that the volume of the Sun (using 4/3*pi*r3) is about 1,418,364,847.22 billion cubic km.
The radius of Jupiter is 71,492 km, which gives us a volume of 1,530,600.9 billion cubic km.
This means that inside the Sun, you could probably jam in about 926 Jupiters!
What was the name of the first spacecraft to orbit Jupiter?
It's Pioneer 10, launched in March 1972. Pioneer 10 first explored the asteroid belt, then moved on to Jupiter. After that, it explored other outer planets and eventually went outside of the solar system, thus becoming the first spacecraft to flay past Pluto.
Is Jupiter rotation pro grade rotation or retrograde rotation?
Simple answer: Venus has "retrograde" rotation.
A more complicated answer. Venus rotates in the opposite direction compared with Earth and most other planets in our solar system. The Earth's rotation is "prograde". It rotates in the counterclockwise direction, when viewed from above the North Pole.
However it is possible to define the "North Pole" of Venus in two different ways.
It can be said that, on one definition, Venus also rotates in the direction that's
counterclockwise as viewed from above its North Pole.
Still, nearly always, you will find the rotation referred to as "retrograde", so the simple answer is OK.
Anyway, Venus definitely rotates in a direction that's opposite to its direction of orbital revolution.
Does Jupiter have an iron core?
It is believed that Jupiter has a core made primarily of rock and metal, likely composed of heavy elements such as iron and nickel. However, due to the extreme pressure and temperature conditions within Jupiter's interior, the precise composition of its core remains uncertain.
Is Mercury bigger or smaller than Jupiter?
Mercury is the second smallest planet in the solar system. (Pluto is the smallest.)
Is Jupiter have stronger or weaker gravity than earth?
If you could do the measurements at the same distance from both planets,
you'd find that the gravitational forces between you and Jupiter would be
about 318 times as strong as the forces between you and the Earth.
Is Jupiter in the inside or outside of the asteroid belt?
To be correct, it is inside. The formation is Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and then Asteroid belt.
What happens when spacecraft enters the atmosphere of Jupiter?
The thing that is so special about Jupiter is that it has a big red spot and is the largest planet in the solar system. The big red spot is a storm that has been ongoing for hundreds of years.
What characteristics do the Jovian planets have in common?
They are alike because they all have some time of gases.
Why would you weigh more on Jupiter than you do on Earth?
You would weigh more on Jupiter because Jupiter has a greater mass than Earth. More mass equals a stronger gravitational pull. Since weight just measures gravity's pull, then you would weigh more.
What is Saturn and Jupiter mostly made up of?
They are both made up of gases of various sorts, but none breathable by humans. Jupiter and Saturn have very small rocky centers the size of several Earths.
Jupiter is composed of mainly hydrogen, some helium, and traces of nitrogen, ammonia ice, and water ice.
Saturn's composition is very similar, but it also has some methane ice in it.
The pressure inside these gas giants is so great that the hydrogen is in the form of a solid metal down very, very deep.
From the Greek Mythology, Jove is Greek for "King Of Gods"
Why is the surface of Jupiter colder than the surface of earth?
Saturn's surface is a lot farther from the Sun than the surface of Earth is.
Catchy phrase for the planet Jupiter?
Neptune is the eight plant from the sun. Neptune was named after roman god of the see
What are the three features about Jupiter?
well, one is the great red spot which is a 40 000km storm system which has been raging for over 300 years.
i don't know any more, but good luck.
Since Jupiter is a gas planet, it doesn't have a surface. This means that nothing can land on the planet because there is nothing solid to land on. But Jupiter does have its own strange kind of "weather".
The clouds that make up Jupiter are constantly swirling around the planet, driven by winds that average over 322 kilometers. per hour. The winds create an ever-changing pattern of storms. The most famous of these storms is the Great red spot.
What is the surface like on Jupiter?
Jupiter is a gas giant, so it doesn't have a solid surface like Earth does. Instead, much of it is composed of atmospheric gases (mainly hydrogen and helium). Deep within the atmosphere, there is liquid hydrogen gas, and it is thought that the centre of the planet is composed of a solid core of rock that's around the same size as Earth.
If there is a solid surface the gravity is so strong you would likely have difficulty moving and it would be very cold.
Which other plants can fit inside Jupiter?
I can tell you that there is NO life on that planet named Jupiter. Jupiter is a gaseous planet with terrible winds and terrible noxious gases and unsupportable pressures, plus it has no solid surface. Please note: It is postulated that Jupiter does have a solid core, but pressure & gravity are high enough that it is considered degenerate matter.
Is a terrestrial planet Mercury or Jupiter?
It's a "terrestrial" planet, because it is rocky with an iron core, like planet Earth. "Terrestrial" means "Earthlike".
Jovian planets are mainly made of gases
and liquefied gases.
