Planet Jupiter

Yes, Jupiter's frozen gases are in a solid state, primarily in the form of ice crystals. These frozen gases include ammonia, water, methane, and other compounds that have condensed at the cold temperatures found in the outer regions of Jupiter's atmosphere.

Jupiter does not have a solid surface like Earth, so it does not have mountains or craters. Instead, it is a gas giant mostly made up of hydrogen and helium. It also does not have rivers or any liquid water on its surface.

Equatorial surface gravity on Jupiter is 2.528 time that of earth, so a 50lb person on earth would weigh 126.4 lbs

Because both planets orbit the sun, the distance varies, since at some times both will be on the same side of the sun, but at other times, on opposite sides.

When Jupiter and Earth are closest, Jupiter is 390,682,810 miles (628,743,036 km) from Earth. The Earth is 93,000,000 miles (149,668,992 km) from the Sun. Jupiter is 483,682,810 miles (778,412,028 km) from the Sun. At our most distant, Jupiter is 576,682,810 miles (928,081,020 km) from the Earth, when the two planets are on opposite sides of the Sun. Measured in Astronomical Units (AU), the distance between Earth and Jupiter varies from 4.2 AU to 6.2 AU.

An Astronomical Unit is approximately 93,000,000 miles (149,668,992 km), or the mean distance from the Earth to the Sun. Therefore, the distance between the Earth and Jupiter can be anywhere between slightly over four times or six times the distance from the Earth to the Sun.

The calculations are very close, but approximate, and also depend upon the slightly varying mass of the Sun, which has an effect on orbital distances.

It isn't. Jupiter is 11.2 times the size of Earth, while Neptune is 3.8 times the size of Earth. Jupiter is 2.5 times the mass of all the other planets in our Solar System combined.

The planet you are referring to is Mars. It is often called the "Red Planet" due to its reddish color, caused by iron oxide (rust) in its soil. Mars is considered a "dead" planet because it lacks active tectonic and volcanic processes, and its atmosphere is thin and unable to support life as we know it.

If Jupiter's mass were doubled, its gravitational pull would be significantly stronger. This would likely result in greater pressure at its core, potentially leading to increased temperature and nuclear fusion. Additionally, its size and orbit may be affected, which could have gravitational consequences on other nearby planets in the solar system.

Io is the fourth largest moon in our solar system, and is the most geologically active planet in our solar system.

It is named after Io, a priestess of Hera who became one of the lovers of Zeus.

The equatorial radius is 71,492 km. The polar radius is 66,854 km

As of April, 2012, none. The first human-built satellite to enter the Jovian system was Pioneer 10 in the year 1973, but this was a flyby manouver which means it never actually entered into orbit around the planet but continued past it. The same thing happened a few months later with Pioneer 11, and again in 1979 with Voyager 1 and 2.

The only satellite to date that has entered into orbit around Jupiter was the Galileo spacecraft from 1995 to 2003, which also sent a probe into the interior of the planet to gather data about its atmosphere. It was then de-orbited and burned up in Jupiter's atmosphere to prevent any chance of it crashing into the planet's moons and contaminating them with Earth bacteria.

Since then, both the Cassini and New Horizons probes have made flybys of Jupiter in 2000 and 2002 respectively. The next satellite planned to enter into orbit is the Juno spacecraft, launched in 2011 and expected to reach the Jovian system in the year 2016.

Yes, an object's mass would be the same on Jupiter as it is on Earth because an object's mass remains constant regardless of the gravitational pull of the planet. However, an object's weight would be different on Jupiter due to the stronger gravitational pull compared to Earth.

Jupiter has only one sun, the same one we have. It is usually just referred to as 'the sun', or Sol.

The Great Red Spot is a giant storm on Jupiter. It is a massive high-pressure region in Jupiter's atmosphere that has been observed for over 300 years.

Probably none, considering that the temperature there oscillates arround -235°C, and that most of the atmosphere is made of hydrogen.

Oh, and it rains ammonia.

And there's no actual ground, it's just a huge cloud of gas.

Aside for a few spores, if you're really really lucky (and even then), nothing.

You'd be better to aim for one of it's moons if you wanted to send anything there.

The pieces of rock that orbit the sun between Mars and Jupiter are called asteroids. They vary in size, shape, and composition, with the largest asteroid being Ceres, which is also classified as a dwarf planet.

maybe...

Jupiter's period of revolution, or its orbit around the Sun, takes about 12 Earth years because it is located farther from the Sun than Earth. This means it has a larger orbit and travels a greater distance in its path around the Sun.

Jupiter's diameter is approximately 86,881 miles (139,822 kilometers). This makes it the largest planet in our solar system.

Jupiter's Great Red Spot is a massive storm in the planet's atmosphere that has been raging for hundreds of years. It is a high-pressure system that creates a prominent feature on the surface of Jupiter, and it is larger than Earth in size.

To convert 1275 furlongs per Jupiter day into mph, we need to consider the length of a Jupiter day. A day on Jupiter is approximately 9.9 Earth hours. First, convert furlongs to miles (1 furlong is 0.125 miles), then divide the distance by the length of a Jupiter day to find the speed in mph. So, 1275 furlongs/day * 0.125 miles/furlong = 159 miles/day, and 159 miles/day / 9.9 hours/day = approximately 16.06 mph.

Yes 1 day on Earth is 24 hours, 1 day on Jupiter is about 9.9 hours

Yes, NASA's Juno spacecraft is currently in orbit around Jupiter, studying the planet's composition, gravity field, magnetic field, and polar magnetosphere. Juno launched in 2011 and arrived at Jupiter in 2016.

At about 1000km below the cloud layer on Jupiter, the atmospheric pressure would become extremely high, reaching levels that can compress hydrogen into a metallic state. This region is where the transition from the outer gaseous layer to the denser interior occurs, leading to unique physical properties like metallic hydrogen and a magnetic field.
