How many human explorations have there been on Jupiter?
There have been no human explorations on Jupiter. All missions to Jupiter have been conducted using robotic spacecraft.
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system by both mass and volume. It is about 11 times the diameter of Earth and is much bigger than any other planet in our solar system.
What month is Jupiter most visible?
Jupiter is most visible in the night sky during the months of June and July. This is when the planet is closest to Earth and appears brightest.
Is Jupiter close to the north star?
The North Star is around 430 light years from Earth. Earth to Jupiter distance varies as the planets orbits The Sun. At their closest they are 628,743,036 million kilometres apart. At their most distant they are 928,081,020 million kilometres apart.
What is interesting about Jupiter's rotation period?
Jupiter has a very fast rotation period of about 10 hours, making it the fastest rotating planet in our solar system. This rapid rotation causes the planet to have a squished appearance at its poles and a bulging equator. Jupiter's rotation period also influences its strong magnetic field and intense atmospheric activity.
How far away is Jupiter from the earth in years?
Jupiter's distance from Earth varies as they both orbit the Sun. On average, the distance between Earth and Jupiter is around 365 million miles (588 million kilometers). This distance can vary depending on the positions of the two planets in their respective orbits.
You cannot go on the planet Jupiter for several reasons: 1) It is almost impossible for humans to travel to Mars, so impossible to travel to Jupiter.
2)Jupiter is one of the "gas" planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) and although it has a solid or semi-solid core, there is mostly swirling gas and perhaps liquid covering the planet.
What is bigger than an asteroid but smaller than Mercury and farther from the sun than Neptune?
The Dwarf Planet Pluto.
How many times smaller is earth compared to Jupiter?
Earth is approximately 11 times smaller than Jupiter in terms of diameter. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, with a diameter of about 86,881 miles, while Earth has a diameter of approximately 7,917 miles.
IO3- is usually violet in color. Iodide ion is usually colorless. However, the color can vary depending upon the impurities present.
The Iodate ion. Though it is not a chemical in its own right but a component of some chemicals.
What is the year when Jupiter will come close to earth?
It is in 2022 when Jupiter will come close to earth.
What kind of spacecrafts went to Jupiter?
So far 8 space probes have been to Jupiter: The first one was Pioneer 10 in 1973, followed by Pioneer 11 in 1974, Voyagers 1 and 2 in 1979, Ulysses in 1992, Galileo in 1995, Cassini in 2000, and New Horizons in 2007.
Further probes planned are the Juno space probe, due to launch sometime in 2011, and the Europa Jupiter System Mission, planned for 2020.
What do scientists use to study Jupiter?
They use Satellites, telescopes, and they have even sent some men out into space to get close to the planet and study it. akjdflkajdfhglkjdhfgkljsdfhgkdjfhglksdjghYOURMOMlkdjflskdjf cneuvdunvdunv don't you dare improve this answer!!!!

How did scientists discover Jupiter?
Look out at night. It would appear as a bright white "star" in the sky (only the sun, moon, and venus get brighter in our sky) along the celestial equator (earths equator projected out in to space. Figure that you can see Jupiter for about 7 months and then not see it for five months over a year as earth goes around its orbit and the sun is between earth and Jupiter thus obscurring our view. Jupiter can be seen when it's close to the sun but you need the proper equipment and caution to see it during those times because of the danger of accidently looking at the sun.
How far is earth away from Jupiter in mm?
4,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.001mm
Why did the voyager 1 and 2 not land on Saturn or Jupiter?
The Voyager spacecraft are interplanetary probes and did not carry landers.
Any spacecraft attempting to land on Jupiter would be crushed by the extreme pressures and magnetic fields and would fall for days before reaching the core of the planet because as Saturn and Jupiter are gas giants they have no surface as such.
How many of Jupiter's moons can have life on them and why?
It is currently unknown if any of Jupiter's moons can support life. However, Europa and Ganymede, with their subsurface oceans, are considered potential candidates due to the presence of liquid water. Future exploration missions aim to further investigate the possibility of life on these moons.
How many days make up one year on Neptune in earth years?
a lot! it takes about 10,980 earth days to make up a year for neptune to go around the sun and back!
Do stars in the sky actually twinkle?
Actually, no. The atmosphere between you and that star has very thin clouds, or just variances in temperature, that partially and temporarily obscure your view. The Earth's Sun is our closest star, and it is 93 million miles away. So the other stars are further away than that. That's a lot of distance for thing to get in the way of your line of sight. At one time, the planet Jupiter was commonly referred to as 'Jumping Jupiter', because the moons that revolve around it give the appearance of Jupiter's outline to be 'jumping', or 'expanding and contracting'. All of this information does not interfere with my appreciation of the popular song, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star".
Where does the name of all the planets come from?
It comes from the Ancient Romans. The Romans had a god named Pluto. The ancient Greeks called him Hades god of the underworld.
No,
. Pluto was discovered in 1930 by Clyde Tombaugh. Astronomers noticed that the orbits of Neptune and Uranus were being affected by the gravity of an unknown object in this solar system. Clyde Tombaugh carefully studied images of the night sky and after a lot of hard work he finally discovered Pluto. Clyde Tombaugh was only 24 years old when he made this discovery. He named it after his wife.
Does Jupiter have an atmosphere so thick and heavy that it could kill a human?
Yes, most definitely. Jupiter is a large ball of gas (biggest planet in our solar system). The weight of all that gas surrounding you, above you, would most definitely crush you.
Our next door neighbour Venus (brightest object in the sky) has an atmosphere of Carbon Dioxide. Due to the run away greenhouse effect on our sister planet, the atmosphere is very thick - lots of gas = high pressure. The atmospheric pressure on Venus is 93 Bar (on Earth it is 1 bar!).
In the 60s and 70s, Russia attempted to send many probes to Venus to send back photographs of the surface - these reinforced metal probes were CRUSHED by the pressure on Venus - a human wouldnt last more than a few seconds on either of these planets!
What is the big red thing on Jupiter?
The big red spot on Jupiter is a massive storm system that has been observed for centuries. It is larger than Earth and is believed to be a high-pressure region in the planet's atmosphere, causing the gases to swirl and create the distinctive appearance.
No, you would not float on Jupiter because it is a gas giant planet with no solid surface like Earth. If you were to somehow descend into Jupiter's atmosphere, the increasing pressure and density of the gases would eventually crush you before you reached any point where you could float.
