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.

What were Jupiters weapons?

Jupiter's weapons included the thunderbolt, which was his primary weapon, as well as the aegis - a shield associated with protection. He was also sometimes depicted with a scepter or a lightning bolt.

Where are the Galilean moons located?

The Galilean moons are located around the planet Jupiter. They were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610 and are named Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. These moons are the largest of Jupiter's many moons and are known for their distinctive features, such as volcanic activity on Io and the possibility of liquid water on Europa.

Is jupiter rocky terrestrial or a gas giant?

Jupiter is known as a "gas giant". However, Shoemaker–Levy comet fragments collided with Jupiter's southern hemisphere between July 16 and July 22, 1994, at a speed of approximately 134,000 mph. The scars from the impacts persisted for many months.

Is Jupiter's moon Ganymede a gas or solid planet?

Ganymede is solid, as are all the moons in the solar system. However, the fact that Ganymede is a moon means that it is not a planet.

How much is 100 pounds on Jupiter?

If you weighed 42.3 pounds here on Earth you would weigh 100 pounds on Jupiter.

How many inches is Jupiter from earth?

The average distance between Earth and Jupiter is 5.2 AU, or 778,000,000 km, which converts to 483,426,787.6 miles. With 5280 feet in one mile and 12 inches in one foot, that becomes 30,629,921,262,336 inches.

What number is Jupiter from sun?

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun in our solar system.

Can you bounce on Jupiter?

No, you cannot bounce on Jupiter. Jupiter is a gas giant with no solid surface, so there is nothing for you to bounce on. Additionally, the intense gravity and lack of support would make it impossible to bounce on Jupiter.
