One of Jupiter's inner satellites that fits this description is Ganymede. Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system and has a diameter of approximately 5,268 km. It is composed of a mixture of rock and ice, with a subsurface ocean believed to be present beneath its icy crust.
What is the escape velocity of planet Jupiter in miles per hour?
The escape velocity of planet Jupiter is: ~133,097.71 miles per hour.
What is the largest rock planet in the solar system?
Earth is the largest terrestrial (all rock) planet in the solar system (check the Answers.com question "How BIG is Venus to earth?" The gas giant planets (like Jupiter, Uranus, and Saturn) do have a rocky surface below the vapor cloud that surrounds them. Jupiter would have the largest rocky surface if all the gas burned away.
The Statue of Zeus WAS at Olympia in the Temple of Zeus, Olympia, Greece.
It was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
Did Several comets collide with Jupiter due to its strong magnetic field?
Comets do not collide with Jupiter due to its strong magnetic field. Instead, Jupiter's gravitational pull is typically what causes comets to collide with the planet. Jupiter's magnetic field is indeed strong, but it does not directly attract comets to collide with it.
Are Jupiters rings visible in space?
The eccentricity is 0.04839266 which means that the difference between its closest distance to the Sun and its farthest distance is a bit less than 5% of the total average distance (this is much more than Earth's 0.0167 eccentricity).
Jupiter's orbit ranges from about 740.6 to 816.5 million kilometers.
What make Jupiter similar to the sun?
Jupiter and the sun are both composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, and both emit their own light and radiation. However, Jupiter is a gas giant planet, while the sun is a star. Jupiter does not have enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion in its core like the sun does.
For the 4 days the calculation must have been equivalent to 4x22/4 = 88/4. Next you want it to be 5x23/5 or 115/5. So the 5th temperature must be 115-88 which is 27. Like giving each 1 of the 5 days an extra degree.
What are the real colours of Jupiter?
Jupiter's atmosphere is made up of mostly hydrogen and helium, which give it a yellowish hue. The planet also has swirling bands of different colored clouds, including brown, orange, and red. The true color of Jupiter may vary depending on the composition of these clouds and atmospheric conditions.
How are Jupiter and io connected?
Jupiter and Io are connected because Io is one of Jupiter's moons. Io is the innermost of the four Galilean moons and is known for its active volcanism and unique surface features created by its interactions with Jupiter's intense magnetic field.
The asteroid belt is what is between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
What is the order of brightness of Jupiters moons from Jupiter?
The order of brightness of Jupiter's major moons from brightest to faintest is Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Io is the closest to Jupiter and receives more sunlight, while Callisto is the farthest and receives the least amount of sunlight, making it the dimmest of the four.
What is the environment around Jupiter?
The environment around jupiter is very rough. A human being (being Jupiter is so massive) could not live there because they would be crushed by the intense gravity. jupiter is gaseous so you cant stand on it either way. The actual environment(weather wise) is STORMY you may of heard of the red spot, that is like a giant storm in the middle of jupiter equator. Its a big storm on jupiter.
What is the next planet beyond jupiter?
Mars is the next planet that could possibly be traveled to, and this is expected to take place within the next two decades. The NASA mission is called Constellation, and the planned spacecraft is called Orion. See the mission page at the Related link below.
Is Titan the satellite for Jupiter?
No, Titan is actually a moon of Saturn, not Jupiter. It is the second-largest moon in our solar system and is known for its thick atmosphere and lakes of liquid methane and ethane on its surface.
What forms of water is on Jupiter or on Jupiter's moon?
Because Jupiter is a gas planet and does not have the correct elements to make water Jupiter does not have any water on it. But one of Jupiter's moons, Europa, has ice, a form of water. The the cracks in the moon suggest that there is an an ocean or source of water under the surface, and when the planet shifts and cracks the water that comes to the surface freezes.
Are Jupiter's frozen gases solids?
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.
Does Jupiter have any mountains or craters or rivers or etc?
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.
How many pound would you weigh on Jupiter if you weigh 50 pound on Earth?
Equatorial surface gravity on Jupiter is 2.528 time that of earth, so a 50lb person on earth would weigh 126.4 lbs
How far is Jupiter from earth at its farthest?
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.
How many times smaller than Jupiter is Neptune?
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.
What planet is big red and dead?
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.
What would happen if you doubled Jupiter mass?
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.
How does the mass of Jupiter compare to those other planets?

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.
