Which is true about gas giants?
They are pretty large.
They are mostly gaseous, without a large metallic core
Their atmospheres are very thick.
They have several moons. That's not really a feature of gas giant planets, but very massive planets in general.
Rocky objects measuring millimeters to kilometers in diameter generally orbit the Sun in a region located between the Earth and Mars, known as the asteroid belt. This belt contains a vast number of asteroids, which are remnants from the early solar system that never coalesced into a planet. The gravitational influence of nearby planets, particularly Jupiter, helps to maintain the structure of this region, preventing these objects from forming into a larger body.
How many earths would it take to equal the diameter of earth?
Jupiter's diameter = 11.21 x Earths (142,984km). That does not sound much, but we are just talking about one dimension here. If the volumes are compared, the size difference in the one dimension is cubed, giving Jupiters volume around 1400 times the volume of earth (actually nearer to 1320 time Earths volume due to Jupiter being a `squashed sphere`).
"the spot"? You've been listening to the wrong people.
What is alike about Earth and Jupiter?
The Jupiter's stripes parallel to equator range from darker red brown to lighter yellowish shade's light stripes are colder, suggesting they are higher than the dark stripes. This in turn suggests convection. Such convections, caused by internal hea, with Jupiter's rapid rotation, would cause the parallel stripes in a process similar to the formation of trade winds on earth.
Also present is its magnetic field like our earth to trap sun particles to cause aurora at it's pole.

How long is a year in callisto moon?
Since Callisto is Jupiter's moon, it takes approximately the same period to orbit the sun (its year) as Jupiter does. Thus a year is approx 11.86 years.
Who are the band members of Jupiter Rising?
There are two band members of the group Jupiter Rising. Jessie Payo and Spencer Nezey are the two current members, old members were 80.Bug and Bjorn Fleuren.
Why would we not breathe the air on Jupiter?
The atmosphere is Jupiter is mainly composed of hydrogen (~90%) and helium (~10%). Since there is absolutely no oxygen, you would quickly suffocate if you were to attempt to breathe in the air (assuming, of course, that the atmospheric pressure and temperature didn't kill you first).
What is the name of the satellite of the Jupiter?
The following is a list of all 63 named moons of Jupiter, in order from closest to Jupiter to furthest and with the four main ones in bold;

How many days a year are on Jupiter?
Jupiter has a year that lasts approximately 4,333 Earth days, which is equivalent to about 11.9 years in Earth time.
When was Callisto discovered in?
Moon Callisto, the second largest moon of planet Jupiter and the third largest moon in the solar system was discovered in year 1610 by Galileo Galilei. It was easy to see, being so large.
Callisto is made of about half ice and half rock, and seems to have no geology. Its surface is one of the oldest in the solar system.
What is Jupiter's angle of tilt?
Jupiter's axis of rotation is tilted at an angle of approximately 3.13 degrees relative to its orbit around the Sun. This tilt is relatively small compared to other planets in our solar system.
Which jovian moon has gotten the most attention from exobiologists?
Europa has gotten a lot of attention recently because it appears to be an ocean entirely covered with ice. We've seen cracks form in the ice and what appears to be water coming out of the cracks and freezing, indicating that the ocean itself may be liquid water.
It's remotely possible that life might exist near warm vents at the bottom of that ocean, similar to the way that extremophile bacteria thrive near warm volcanic vents at the bottoms of our own oceans.
It's all speculation, of course, but the possibility cannot be ignored.
In the Arthur C. Clarke novel "2010", his sequel to "2001: A Space Odyssey", the transformed "star child" David Bowman returns to Earth and causes Jupiter to be artifically collapsed into a miniature star to accelerate the development of the primitive Europan life forms, just as the Monolith accelerated development of the primitive hominids into humans, a million years before.
How long is one year on Jupiter?
A Jupiter year is between 11 and 12 earth years.
Jupiter's year is 12 Earth years.
A year on Jupiter lasts 4331.572 Earth days.
