Planet Jupiter

An I/O connector is typically a rectangular or square shape with multiple pins arranged in a specific pattern. It can come in various sizes and configurations depending on the specific use case and type of device it is intended for. They are commonly used for connecting various electronic components and peripherals to a computer or other electronic devices.

Two satellites that have visited Jupiter are Galileo, which arrived in 1995, and Juno, which arrived in 2016.

Jupiter is the 5th planet, at a distance of 779 million kilometres away from the sun.

Freshies are typically easy to spot due to their enthusiasm and excitement. They may ask a lot of questions, make mistakes, and look a bit lost or overwhelmed as they try to learn the ropes. They are often eager to make a good impression and may seek feedback or guidance from more experienced individuals.

Jupiter-like planets are gas giants similar to Jupiter in terms of composition and size. They are typically large planets composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, with no solid surface. They are often found in outer regions of planetary systems.

I think they said 11 or 12. More than 11 or 12, I should think. I remember from an episode of Tennessee Tuxedo that about 50 of Luna (earth's moon) would fit inside a hollow earth, and I think Pluto is smaller than earth's moon.

Condensations of Ices meant that there was more solid material.

· Planetesimals that accreted in the outer solar system contained large amounts of ice in addition to metal and rock. The solid objects that reside in the outer solar system today, such as comets and the moons of the Jovian planets, still show this ice-rich composition.

· With the large masses of icy planetesimals, their gravity became strong enough to capture and hold some of the hydrogen and helium gas that made up the vast majority of the surrounding solar nebula. As the growing planets accumulated gas, their gravity grew stronger still, allowing them to capture even more gas. Ultimately, the Jovian planets grew so much that they bore little resemblance to the icy seeds from which they started, instead ending up with large abundances of hydrogen and helium gas.

Astronomers believe that Jupiter is so large because its position in the solar system was perfect for capturing the most dust and gas. Reasons that other planets aren't so large are planets that formed close to the sun couldn't capture as much gas and dust because it was moving too swiftly, and planets furthest form the sun couldn't capture as much gas and dust because there simply wasn't that much. Saturn also formed in a place in the solar system where it could capture a lot of dust and gas. However, its diameter is 22,448 kilometers smaller than Jupiter's.

Jupiter is surrounded by smaller bodies such as its moons, its rings, and the asteroid belt. It is the largest planet in our solar system and exerts a strong gravitational influence on its surroundings, influencing the orbits of nearby objects.

Jupiter's immense pressure is caused by the massive gravitational force pulling inward on its atmosphere. If a human were to be exposed to Jupiter's atmosphere, the extreme pressure would crush the body, causing it to be compressed and potentially causing fatal injuries due to the enormous force exerted.

Jupiter's tremendously violent, planet-sized storms can grow by hundreds of miles in a day, and they can throw ice and other matter up to 20 miles (32 kilometers) above the clouds. They're the product of about 12 bands of weather, or jet streams, that move east and west around the planet.

A storm on Jupiter is officially called a vortex. In the planet's northern hemisphere, a clockwise-rotating storm is called an anticyclone; a counterclockwise-rotating storm is a cyclone. The terms are reversed for storms in the southern hemisphere. Vortices may last for short periods of time, disappearing in the jet stream, or high-speed winds may push them into the path of other vortices, causing them to combine and form major storms.

Jupiter, being a planet, does not have years in the same way that Earth does. A year on Jupiter is equivalent to the time it takes the planet to complete one orbit around the sun, which is about 11.86 Earth years.

Yes, Jupiter does not have solid surfaces like Earth, so it does not have traditional mountains or valleys. However, its swirling cloud bands can create variations in height and depth that can be considered as "mountains" and "valleys" in a sense.

The most common elements on the planet Jupiter are hydrogen and helium. These two elements make up the majority of Jupiter's composition, with smaller amounts of other elements such as methane, ammonia, water vapor, and traces of other compounds.

A Jupiter wouldn't freeze or burn because they are the exact same temperature.

In 2016, the spinning, solar-powered Juno spacecraft will reach Jupiter and enter into a highly elliptical polar orbit that skims only 5000 kilometers above the planet's atmosphere. Building on the results of previous missions, Juno will provide new information to help us determine how, when and where this giant planet formed

Yes, Jupiter acts as a "cosmic vacuum cleaner" by attracting and absorbing many of the comets and asteroids that might otherwise collide with the inner planets like Earth. This helps reduce the frequency of impacts and protects the inner planets to some extent.

No, Mars is closer to Earth than Jupiter.

The brightness of the Sun appears significantly dimmer on Jupiter compared to how it appears from Earth due to Jupiter's greater distance from the Sun and its thicker atmosphere. Jupiter is about five times farther from the Sun than Earth, so sunlight reaching Jupiter is much less intense.

Jupiter takes approximately 11.86 Earth years to orbit the Sun once, which is known as its orbital period or "year".

Yes, they have to rotate to stay in orbit and not just fall down into Saturn. The rings aren't solid objects, they are made of millions of tiny bits of dust and ice. Each bit is in orbit, just like a moon or satellite.

Yes, Galileo Galilei discovered Jupiter's four largest moons, now known as the Galilean moons, in 1610. These moons are Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. This discovery provided evidence that not all celestial bodies revolve around the Earth, challenging the prevailing geocentric model of the universe.

Titan, a moon of Saturn, has a thick atmosphere mainly composed of nitrogen. Jupiter's moon Ganymede has a thin atmosphere made up of oxygen.

Asteroids have more in common with Mars than with Jupiter. This is because both asteroids and Mars are rocky bodies, while Jupiter is a gas giant. Like Mars, asteroids are composed primarily of rock and metal, whereas Jupiter is mostly made up of gas and lacks a solid surface like asteroids and Mars.
