How does Jupiter's temperature compare to earth's?
Jupiter's temperature ranges from 112K (-161C or -258F) to 165K (-108C or -162F) so it is very very very very much colder than Earth.
Why is Jupiter the first planet ever made.?
It's highly unlikely that Jupiter was the first planet. There's no evidence that Jupiter formed any earlier than other planets in our solar system, and no reason at all to believe that planets in other older solar systems might not have formed long ago.
What is the name of four largest moons that orbit Jupiter?
The four largest moons of Jupiter were observed by Galileo 400 years ago, and he named them the "Cosmica Sidera," or Cosimo's Stars, after the Grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo de' Medici, a former math student.
We now call them the Galilean Moons, and each bears the name of a figure from Roman mythology: Io, Europa, Ganymede (the largest), and Callisto.
What probes flew past Jupiter and other planets before heading outwards deep space?
Voyager 1 and 2 visited the outer planets and went on into interstellar space.
Is Jupiter an inside or outside planet?
jupiter is an outside planet because it is located outsid the asteroid belt.
Does Callisto have bright or dim sunlight?
Because of its distance from the Sun, it has dim sunlight.
Since Jupiter is a Gas Giant, It has a lot if colors. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. It is one of the gas giants and is most famous for its swirly orange red color. It has a giant red spot, which is actually a giant gas storm over 5 times larger than Earth that has been going on for many decades.
Is Jupiter an inner or an outer?
The first and largest of the gas giants, Jupiter is considered an outer planet.
How can Jupiter have gravity if it is gaseous?
Grvity affects everything with mass. Gas has mass.
The Earth's atmosphere, and every part of the sun, are gaseous.
They exert gravitational force, and they have gravitational force
exerted on them.
When Galileo saw four moons revolving around Jupiter which scientific belief was challenged?
Galileos discovery of those moons led people to realise that not everything in the universe moves round the Earth. It raised the question of whether the Sun travels round the Earth or not.
A hundred years after Galileo's time, scientific discoveries were making it increasingly clear that the Sun is at the centre of the solar system.
Light travels 1 AU in about 8 minutes 20 seconds (8.33 minutes).
Therefore 8.4 AU takes about 8.4 x 8.33 minutes.
That's 69.97 minutes.
So, the answer is: about 70 minutes, or an hour and ten minutes.
What is jupiters moon europa temperature?
In average about 110 K (-160 C,-260 F)At the equator and only 50 K(-220 C,-370 F) at the poles
This question was asked on September 9, 2013. The rise and set times for any celestial object will depend on your location, and the date. As of 9/9/2013, Jupiter will rise at around 2AM, depending on where in your time zone you're located.
There's a great open-source and FREE planetarium program that I _HIGHLY_ recommend, so that you can calculate this for yourself. it is Stellarium, available at the link below.
Who is the astronaut of Jupiter?
Nobody. The only celestial object ever visited by astronauts is the moon.
So far, it has never been possible to observe any H2O on Jupiter.
He discovered that they orbit around Jupiter, the first example of anything that did not orbit round the Earth, which lent support to the idea that the Sun might be at the centre of the solar system. After Galileo's lifetime, with further scientific discoveries, this was discovered to be true
What is the most likely reason that you do not generally feel jupiters gravity on earth?
The most likely reason is that I am always between 91,700 and 150,000 times
as far from the center of Jupiter as I am from the center of the Earth, and the
gravitational effects of any mass fall off in inverse proportion to the square of
my distance from it. Not only do I 'generally' not feel the effects of Jupiter's gravity
around here, but it's quite safe to say that I never feel them.
What explains why Mercury's orbital speed is faster than Jupiter's?
The vector form of Newton's formula for the force of gravity . . .
F = G M1M2/R2
when massaged and manipulated with some geometry and some calculus, does.
WHAT two planets are located between earth and Jupiter?
Planet Mars is located between Earth and Jupiter. Sorry, only one, not two . . .
Is jupiters surface thought to be a giant ocean of liquid water?
No, Jupiter is composed mostly of gases.
What the difference between venus and Jupiter?
Venus is an inferior planet i.e.its orbit is inside the earth's orbit.
It does not have a moon
It rotates from east to west.
Jupiter is a superior planet i.e.its orbit is outside the earth's orbit.
It has 63 moons.
It rotates from west to east.
Are there plate tectonics on IO moon of Jupiter?
Io certainly has tectonic features, however, these features do not require plate tectonics to explain their formation. Most importantly Io lacks liquid water on its surface which is a requirement for the initiation of plate tectonics. Under dry conditions (a dry rheology) the base of the crust undergoes shear stress which cause it to delaminate, while under a wet rheology the shear stresses with the addition of H2O cause subduction. Io's mountains are the cause of tidal forces from its orbit around Jupiter and the mountains are caused by faulting and tilting of crustal blocks due to subsidence under extreme loads of volcanic loading. All of these point to a conclusion that there is no plate tectonics active on Io.
What are the names of the planets that haven't been named after classical gods?
In short - all the major planets save Earth are named for classic gods.
Uranus was named for one of the Titans, which most would still include among the classical Greek/Roman gods, though some scholars might classify them separately as the precursors to the gods.
The thousands of asteroids are sometimes referred to as 'minor planets'. And, while many are named after classical gods, many more are not.
Why did the inner planets not collect gas like gas giants did?
The Sun's gravitational force is theorized to have swept up so much gas in the area of the inner planets and prevented them from acquiring much additional material from their surroundings. Thus, the inner planets initially ended up with no satellites.
Can aliens live on another planet?
It is possible, but no one knows of any such planet. We don't know if there are aliens. Someone has to be the first form of intelligence in the universe, and there is no reason to think it isn't us.
