Can you land on Jupiter's core?

No, it is not possible to land on Jupiter's core because it is made up of highly pressurized gas and liquid metallic hydrogen. Jupiter does not have a solid surface to land on like Earth. Any spacecraft that attempted to penetrate Jupiter's atmosphere would be crushed by the extreme pressures and temperatures before reaching the core.

What gives IO's its colors?

The colors in IO's atmosphere are produced by different compounds in the atmosphere interacting with sunlight. For example, sulfur compounds create yellow, red, and black hues, while sodium compounds contribute to the yellow coloration. The varying colors are a result of the unique chemical composition of IO's atmosphere.

What are Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune made up of?

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are gas giants primarily made up of hydrogen and helium, with traces of other elements like water, ammonia, and methane. These planets have solid cores, but the majority of their mass is in the form of dense atmospheres of gases.

What planet is Jupiter the sun?

The planet Jupiter orbits the same sun that the Earth orbits; it is part of our solar system. It has the greatest number of moons of any planet in the solar system, including four (the Galilean moons) which are quite large.

Is Jupiter heavy or light?

Jupiter is heavy, as it is the largest planet in our solar system and has a mass more than 300 times that of Earth. Its immense size and mass give it strong gravitational attraction, making it much heavier than Earth.

How big is the cyclone on Jupiter?

The Great Red Spot on Jupiter, a giant storm system also known as a cyclone, is about 1.3 times the size of Earth. It has been raging for hundreds of years and is a prominent feature on Jupiter's surface.

Which jupiters moon covered with water ice?

Typical of moons of the outer solar system nearly all of Jupiter's moons are covered in ice. Only Io, the innermost moon is not and that it because it is powerfully volcanic.

Have any robots or satellites explored venus close?

Yes, numerous space probes have explored Venus, including NASA's Magellan spacecraft and the Soviet Venera missions. These missions have provided valuable data on Venus' surface and atmosphere, giving us insights into its extreme conditions. However, no robots or satellites have been able to explore Venus up close in the same way as those on Mars due to its harsh environment.

Is Jupiter is the biggest planet?

Jupiter is the largest planet because of it's position in the Solar System.

It is located past what is known as the "frost line" [See related link] where it was possible for hydrogen to condense into solid ice grains. because - the then Jupiter - had the "Lions" share of free hydrogen, it grew to an immense size.

How many years does Jupiter take to complete an orbit around the sun?

It typically takes the planet Jupiter approximately 10 hours to make a full rotation (it's day) and 12 years for it to go around the sun.

Moving an object to Jupiter would change its?

Moving an object to Jupiter would change its weight due to the stronger gravitational pull on Jupiter compared to Earth. The object would also experience higher levels of radiation due to Jupiter's powerful magnetic field. Additionally, the object would be subject to extreme atmospheric conditions and intense pressure at Jupiter's surface.

How many days can you survive on Jupiter?

If you brought along everything you need to survive there ... in other words,

everything you need to make it feel like Earth ... then you can keep going until

your body, your mind, or your supplies give out.

If you didn't bring along everything you need to make it feel like Earth, then

you're dead before you leave your landing craft.

How man moons does Jupiter have orbiting it?

Lately, this question has had a changing answer! For many years, we knew of 16 moons for the largest planet in our solar system. In the last few years, about two dozen new moons have been announced by astronomers. However, being announced does not mean that these become "official" moons of the planet. To be recognized by the scientific community as a new moon involves a process which may take several years - and some announced objects never get recognized at all! Let's explain.

When a scientist makes observations which indicate a new moon, they submit their data and analysis to the scientific community. Other scientists then try to confirm the existance of the new moon by additional observations. If it is confirmed, the data are all submitted to the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The IAU is the governing body for astronomy. One of their jobs is to decide what is sufficiently proven and what is not, and then to assign names. If sufficiently confirmed, the IAU gives a preliminary name to the new moon. Scientists get time to consider the name. Finally, at one of their meetings, the scientific membership of the IAU votes on whether or not to accept the object and its name as an "official moon" of the planet. This process (from initial announcement to official acceptance) may take several years.

Of the 23 new moons announced for Jupiter, preliminary names were assigned to 11 of them by the IAU in October 2002. This is an important step in the path taken to become an "official" moon. So these 11 (which are most probably asteroids that have been captured by Jupiter's gravity) will most probably be accepted in the near future and take the official list of Jupiter's moons from 16 to 27. How many more will follow this course is something to stay tuned for!

By the way, the recently proposed new moon names are: Themisto, Iocaste, Harpalyke, Praxidike, Taygete, Chaldene, Kalyke, Callirrhoe, Megaclite, Isonoe, and Erinsome. These names are from characters in the life of Zeus or Jupiter in Greco-Roman mythology, thus following in the tradition of the other satellites of our largest planet.

UPDATE! As of January 2009, Jupiter has 49 official, named moons and 14 more unofficial ones still under consideration..

What kind of space suit would you need to go to Jupiter?

you would a suit made of plutonium at least make one cycle around jupiter..but to crash into the watery surface of Jupiter you need a suit made completely of dark matter.

Is Jupiter lighter than earth?

No, Jupiter is much heavier than Earth. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and is more massive due to its large size and composition of mostly gases and liquids.

If you weigh 70 pounds on earth how much pounds on Jupiter?

The gravitational field of the neutron star is about 2 x 10^11 times stronger than the gravitational field of earth. However, you have provided a mass in the question and this would remain the same if you were on a neutron star (mass is a scalar quantity - a common mistake). Weight is a vector quantity obtained by mulitplying mass in kg (70 pounds would be about 32kg) by the gravitational field experienced - so a value of 32 x 9.8 = 313.6 N is your weight on earth. Your weight on a neutron star is 2 x 10^11 times bigger than this, so 627.2 x 10^11 N is your weight. Your mass is still 32kg!

Is Jupiter closer to Saturn or Mars?

Saturn, because between mars and jupiter is the asteroid belt.

Is Jupiter's red spot caused by a large volcano?

No, Jupiter's Great Red Spot is not caused by a volcano. It is a massive storm that has been raging for centuries in the planet's atmosphere. The exact cause of the storm's red color is not yet fully understood.

Is an asteroid belt rocky gas giant or icy?

None of them! The asteroid belt isn't a planet or anything of that matter, so it can't be rocky. It's not a gas giant, either, because it's not a giant planet as Jupiter is, and it's not made of gases. There is nothing to support the ice, so it's impossible to be icy. Surprised? Well, that's the answer for you! : $) (that's my beautiful mustache smiley!)

What are 10 things you would bring on the moon?

Oxygen, A lot other humans, construction tools to build stuff on the moon like a bridge back to earth, a rocket ship so i can go back if their was an emergency, my house, Food, water, clothes, the bible, Animals, and a satellite that will let me surveillance Earth.

What are the ios modes?

In iOS, there are different modes such as normal mode, recovery mode, and DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode. Normal mode is the standard mode for device operation. Recovery mode is used for restoring or updating iOS on a device that cannot boot up. DFU mode allows for the installation of a custom firmware or troubleshooting more complex issues.

What is a day and a year on Jupiter?

  • A day (rotation period) is about 9.925 hours.
  • A year (revolution period around the Sun) is 4,331.572 Earth days or 11.85920 Earth years.

Does it take 12 earth years for Jupiter to complete a circuit around the sun?

Jupiter travels around the sun in a slightly elliptical (oval-shaped) orbit. It takes The planet 4,333 Earth days to complete one orbit of the sun. Yes that is 12 nearly years.
