How many times faster is jupiters equatorial velocity then earths?
Jupiter turns about 2 and 1/2 times as fast as Earth and it's about 11 times bigger, so its equatorial "surface" is moving about 27,000 miles per hour, compared with Earth's about 1,000 mph.
So, the answer is "about 27 timesfaster".
Keep in mind, however, that while Earth's equator is solid or liquid (that is, it crosses land and sea), all that we see of Jupiter is its gas clouds.
What is the distance minimum for pacing a speeding violation?
So, i got a speeding ticket and the cop "paced me" and said i was going 60 in a 45 when i had just pulled out of my neighborhood one block down from where he had pulled me over. What is the minimum distance that a cop has to pace you?
Also, do you think i have a good chance of fighting this ticket in court?
The cop also told my mom he doesnt know how fast i was actually going but to catch up to me he had to go 60 so he assumed that's what i was going. Advice please !

How much will a 100 lb person weigh on Jupiter?
It would depend on where they were. We see the top of the atmosphere so they couldn't be weighed there. They could be weighed on the postulated rocky core, but no-one knows how big that might be.
The "surface" gravity, as normally defined for Jupiter, is about 2.5 times that of Earth. So the person would weigh about 250 pounds.
That's not an exact answer, because that depends on the exact definition.
Also, you would be in the upper atmosphere, not standing on a solid surface.
Is the planet featured in the film Predators a moon of Jupiter?
Whilst the planet seen in the sky bears a striking resemblance, it is unlikely to be Jupiter for the following reasons:
1) The moon on which the soldiers (etc) are stranded appears to have Earth level gravity so it would have be pretty large. It doesn't necessarily have to be as big as Earth itself but it would probably be bigger than any of the other moons around Jupiter - so if such a moon did exist, we would have discovered it, as we have discovered the others using telescopes and space probes.
2) The planet has a tropical climate which suggests it is close to it's parent star (within the "Goldilocks zone"). Jupiter is the 5th furthest planet from the Sun and so any moons around it will be frozen. Also the sun in the movie is (so far as I can tell - the characters don't comment on it) full sized. Whereas the Sun, as it would appear from Jupiter would be very small in the sky.
These are the biggest two clues that it is not Jupiter, but merely a planet that resembles it.
Now it is possible that the Predator aliens have "cloaked" the planet and are heating it by artificial means... but I think this unlikely. Maybe the sequel will tell us, if there ever is one.
How much gas would it take to travel halfway across the US?
It would take 60 gallons at an average 25 mpg.
That's a spot in the Indian Ocean off the eastern coast of Madagascar.
What are the stripes of color in Jupiter?
They are caused by certain chemicals in the clouds. There is still some uncertainty about this, but phosphorus is probably one of them.
Also there may be sulfur and various compounds of hydrogen.
I've just checked with a NASA page and they still aren't sure what causes the colors. It's one of those question where "don't know" is the right answer!
Is there anything unusual about Jupiters orbit?
Not particularly, it is just further away from the sun than earth is.
Every planet has a unique orbit, so every planet's orbit is unusual. The most unusual thing about Mars's orbit, however, is the fact that it has the 2nd most "eccentric" orbit out of the 8 planets in our Solar System. That means it is the least circular orbit after Mercury's.
What is the Jupiter moons relative position from the sun?
They orbit Jupiter so would share that planets position in relation to the Sun.
Why doesn't Jupiter's hurricane go away?
As with a hurricane on Earth the "Great Red Spot" is fed by heat, but unlike on Earth, the heat is generated internally on Jupiter. Since there is no land mass for the storms to pass over on Jupiter, the storms continue to churn away, fed heat continuously. It is unknown how long the Red Spot has persisted since it was already present when the first astronomers noted it in the early 17th Century (the telecope was invented in 1608). The spot changes significantly over time and has been shown to absorb/merge with other smaller storms. The storm has been raging for more than 400 years and currently measures about 25000 km by 15000 km. In simple terms, this storm is fed by the expansion of liquefied gases. It keeps on receiving energy so the cycle will continue for some time.
If you have a great voice how do you get discovered?
Sing or do whatever you have a great voice at in a school talent show or something.
Cos Justin Sucks ... Just joking... haha .. he havent went through puberty so he have such a ''Amazing'' Voice..
Was the song 'Drops of Jupiter' recorded by someone else prior to Train?
Although Train's singles got heavy rotation on "alternative" radio stations, there's nothing cutting-edge about Drops of Jupiter. Train is a classic rock wannabe band in the mold of Counting Crows. That's not always a bad thing. In fact, the best moments on Drops of Jupiter are the most blatant rip-offs. Does the hit title track remind you of Madman Across the Water-era Elton John? Well, it's no coincidence. Paul Buckmaster, who arranged the soaring strings on much of John's best work, reprises that role here, and session keyboardist extraordinaire Chuck Leavell channels John on the piano. And when lead singer Pat Monahan sings "When I get this feeling" in "It's About You," just try not to sing "I want sexual healing" over the actual lyrics that follow. Overall, a safe, solid second effort from a band that knows how to write hit singles. ~ Mark Morgenstein, All Music Guide

How the tidal forces can produce enormous internal stresses in a Jovian moon?
The tidal forces are fairly strong in this case, since (1) Jupiter has a fairly large mass, and therefore a fairly large gravitational field, and (2) the moons are relatively close to the planet.
"Tidal forces" such as those that cause the tides in the Earth's oceans are due to gravity.
The important thing is that there are differences in the strength of gravity felt at various places on a planet or a moon.
For example, the side of a moon that's nearer Jupiter feels a stronger force than the far side. It's these gravitydifferences that produce the stresses.
Where is planet Jupiter relation to the sun and planet earth?
Jupiter is the 5th planet out from the Sun. The planet Mars (in 4th place) is right in between our planet Earth and Jupiter.
Is 1000 times bigger than earth!
Have any robots or satellites explored Jupiter and when?
Pioneer 10, in 1973; Pioneer 11, also in 1973; Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 in 1979. For more details, check the Wikipedia article on "Exploration of Jupiter".
How many Earths will fit in the red spot of Jupiter?
Approximately 3 Earths could fit inside Jupiter's iconic red spot, also known as the Great Red Spot. This means the spot is vast enough to hold an impressive amount of Earth-sized objects within its boundaries.
What happens when an asteroid orbits too close to Mars or Jupiter?
For Mars, it is likely to get pulled in to the gravitational field, and not collide with the planet at first but get sling shot around it. It will then return in several years and sling shot another three or four times before colliding with it. It's also possible that the force of the "sling shot" effect will rocket the asteroid away, and it will not come back, or will get sucked in to another gravitational field.
For Jupiter, the most likely thing to happen is the asteroid entering the atmosphere and breaking up.
Does Jupiter have a amosepher?
Actually, Jupiter has a very thick atmosphere. Without one, it wouldn't be able to produce the storms it does, such as the "Big Red Spot."
The thick lines you see on Jupiter are evidence of its atmosphere.
Which would contain more matter 500kg on the moon or 500 kg on Jupiter?
500 kg contains the same amount of matter wherever you take it.
But it would weigh about 15 times as much on Jupiter as it would
on the moon.
Which planet is colder Jupiter or Venus?
Jupiter, at the surface anyway. Venus has the hottest surface temperature of all the planets.
Does Jupiter have swirling storm called titan?
No, but it does have a famous storm system called the "Great Red Spot".
