Is lava flow found on any of the gas giants?
No. Gas giants do not have a solid surface on which lava might flow.
What did the four moons orbiting Jupiter prove against the geocentric model?
They showed that it's possible for an astronomical object to orbit around something other than the Earth, so it was a first step in dismantling the geocentric theory. On it is own this did not prove anything but with further discoveries from about 1670 onwards the heliocentric theory started to take root.
What causes red blotchy spots on your stomach if you're not pregnant?
Red, blotchy spots on your stomach definitely isn't pregnancy related. It may be a allergic reaction to perfume, soap products, clothes fibres. Anything.
What would be the radius of one of Jupiter's moons if it was 27 percent of the radius of Jupiter?
The radius of the moon would be 11,840 miles (19,055 km), seven times larger than any other moon in the Solar System.
How is a year or day in Jupiter?
Jupiter completely orbit the sun every 11.86 years.However,Jupiter rotation is the fastest whcich means day in jupiter is 9h 50m 30.0s
Yes, Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and can be seen from Earth with the naked eye. It is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, with distinctive cloud bands and a giant red spot.
What are the names of the 4 largest moons of neptune?
The largest of Neptune's moons, 'Triton' is larger than the planetesimal, Pluto.
The much, much smaller moon, Proteus, is next in size.
Larissa is a little smaller than Proteus,
and Galatea is a little smaller than Larissa.
How many hours of sunlight does Jupiter have?
Jupiter spins on it's axis once every ten hours. Ignoring the effect of tilt and season this means that any point on it's surface will get about 5 hours sunlight in a Jupiter day. If you've been set a trick question the answer is Jupiter always has sunlight - same as the earth. It's always daytime somewhere
Let's start with the( approximate) data. Here are the planets' densities
compared with water as the standard :
Jupiter 1.33
Saturn 0.69
Uranus 1.27
Neptune 1.64
You can see that Jupiter actually has a slightly higher density than Uranus.
So that makes the question a bit "wrong". Let's ignore that.
The composition of these planets is still not certain, but Neptune is thought to
contain water, methane and ammonia. All these are denser than hydrogen
which makes up a lot of Jupiter and Saturn.
What is the circumference of Jupiter?
Jupiter has an equatorial circumference of 439,263.8 kilometers or about 279,118 miles.
Where is Pluto in relation to the sun?
Pluto is the nineth planet from the sun, it is the farthest of the known planets. now it is proven that there are 3 more planets who knows it might be true!!!
but Pluto is the ninth planet from the sun!!!!!!
Does Jupiter have gravel or rocks?
It is believed that Jupiter has a rocky core, but it is unliekly that there are discrete rocks there.
What is the size of Jupiter's rocky core?
Jupiter's rocky core is estimated to be about 20 times the mass of the Earth, but it only makes up a small percentage of the planet's overall volume. The core is surrounded by layers of metallic hydrogen and helium, giving Jupiter its massive size and characteristic appearance.
What are the 5 major differences in Gas Giants and Rocky planets?
The five major differences between the gas giant planets and the rocky planets are as follows:
1. Gas giants are larger, both in diameter and in mass.
2. Gas giants have a much larger proportion of hydrogen and other light weight elements. Rocky planets have more rock.
3. Gas giants are farther away from the sun.
4. Gas giants are much colder.
5. Gas giants are made mostly (in some cases, perhaps entirely) of gas, while rocky planets are mostly solid with comparatively little gas.
Edit: Here's another, if you want 6 differences: The Gas Giants have extensive systems of moons (and they have rings too).
Are there minerals in Jupiter?
Well there's been a debate about that going on since 1608 but it certainly contains hydrogen, helium and methane with trace ammounts of phosphorus, sulfur and ammonia, i'm afraid i can't tell you what the core is made of because nobody actually knows..
Is Jupiter's temperature ferienheight or Celsius?
When we measure Jupiter's temperature, we can describe it either way.
