How do you draw a diagram showing which moon would be brightest from Jupiter?

The four main moons all look about the same brightness as seen from Earth, and they are all at about the same distance from the Earth. That means that their brightness seen from Jupiter would depend on their distances from Jupiter.

Is Jupiter gas or rocks?

Jupiter is mostly made out of gas not rock.

Who was the first person to walk on juipter?

Humans have not been to Jupiter or any other planet, only the Earth and the Earth's moon. If they had, they still could not walk on the surface, since the surface of Jupiter is not solid.

The order of the planets, from the sun outward, goes:

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, {Asteroid Belt}, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto( Not classified as a planet anymore)

How is Venus different from Jupiter?

The diameter of Venus is only 12,103 km, while the diameter of Jupiter is 142,984 km. And so when you compare the two planets, Jupiter is 11.8 times bigger than Venus.

Why do you not weigh 318 times more on Jupiter but instead weigh 2.53 times More than what you weigh on earth?

The reason you do not weigh 318 times more on Jupiter is due to the difference in gravitational acceleration between Jupiter and Earth. Jupiter's gravitational acceleration is approximately 24.79 m/s^2, which is about 2.53 times greater than Earth's gravitational acceleration of 9.81 m/s^2. Weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object's mass, so on Jupiter, with its higher gravitational acceleration, you would weigh approximately 2.53 times more than on Earth.

How did Galileo's observations of Jupiter's moons challenge Ptolemy?

Ptolemy claimed everything must go around the Earth, but the moons of Jupiter obviously are not going around the Earth.

What are the special features of Jupiter?

Jupiter is the largest of our solar system's planets and is a gas giant with long-lived atmospheric storms.

What planets has more moons than Jupiter?

Within our Solar System, no planet has more moons than Jupiter. [See related question]

Outside of our Solar System, it is any ones guess.

Why does the brightness of Jupiter apper to change over time?

That's mainly because the distance from Jupiter to Earth changes over time. If we assume, for simplicity, that Jupiter's orbit is circular, and that the distance from the Sun to Jupiter is 5 AU, then, when Jupiter is in opposition (opposite to the Sun, from our point of view), it is at a distance of 4 AU (5 minus 1); when it is in conjunction (behind the Sun, from our point of view), it's at a distance of 6 AU (5 plus 1).

Why does Jupiter often look brighter than Mars?

Jupiter is a lot bigger, so it looks brighter even though it is further away. Mars can be quite bright for a few weeks around the time of opposition, which happens every 780 days or just over two years, the next time 22-05-2016.

What are the major natural landmarks on Jupiter?

One couldn't really call it a LAND-mark, since it is an enormous 400+ year old storm, but the Great Red Spot is one of the few distinct markings on Jupiter.

What is Jupiter's most common elements?

The most common elements of Jupiter are molecular hydrogen (89.8%) and helium (10.2%).
