Planet Jupiter

Yes, Jupiter has very minimal axial tilt, which results in no discernible seasons on the planet. This lack of tilt means that its equatorial region receives relatively constant sunlight throughout the year, leading to a consistent climate.

Both Cold

Jupiter holds the record for having the most moons in our solar system, with a total of 79 known moons as of 2021. These moons vary in size and composition, with the four largest being the Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.

Jupiter is the large planet known for its Great Red Spot. This massive storm has been observed for over 300 years and is thought to be a high-pressure area in Jupiter's atmosphere.

Yes, you would die if you got too close to Jupiter. Jupiter's intense magnetic field and radiation belts can be lethal to humans. Additionally, the planet's thick atmosphere is composed of mainly hydrogen and helium, which would be toxic to breathe.

No, Io does not have dirt or gravel on its surface. Io is a volcanic moon of Jupiter with a landscape dominated by sulfur and volcanic activity. The surface is covered with sulfur compounds and extensive lava flows, giving it a colorful and dynamic appearance.

Jupiter has a mysterious large red spot known as the "Great Red Spot," which is a massive storm system that has been observed for centuries.

One possible reason may have something to do with the fact that Jupiter is more than five times
as far from the sun as the earth is.

There are other reasons, related to the processes taking place in the core of each planet.

Lo, a moon of Jupiter, is sometimes called the "rainbow moon" due to the colorful surface features created by different types of minerals and compounds. These features can appear in hues ranging from yellow to orange, giving the moon a rainbow-like appearance when viewed from afar.

Planets' orbits are all forms of conic section, the curve formed by intersecting a plane with a symmetrical circular cone.

The shape of a conic section is defined by a parameter called eccentricity, written as e. In order of eccentricity the four orbital shapes are: circles (e=0), ellipses (0<e<1), parabolas (e=1) and hyperbolas (e>1). Planets' orbits are ellipses with e less than 0.1, so they are approximately circular. You can only get a hyperbolic orbit with a body coming in at high speed from outside the solar system, which is extremely rare.

You can make conic sections by shining a torch on a wall (a torch with a old fashioned bulb, not LEDs). It produces a cone of light, and the wall gives the intersection, so on the wall you can create those four shapes. Shining it straight at the wall gives a circle, slightly off gives an ellipse, then with one side of the cone parallel to the wall you get a parabola, and turning it further creates a hyperbola.

Jupiter's surface gravity is about 2.5 times that on Earth.

So a mass of 500 grams would have a weight of about 1250 grams weight.

The diameter of the nucleus is several orders of magnitude smaller than the diameter of the atom. The nucleus is approximately 10,000 times smaller than the overall size of the atom.

Jupiter's wise warrior daughter was Minerva, also known as Athena in Greek mythology. She was the goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, strategy, and warfare.

Jupiter's wind speeds can reach up to 384 miles per hour (618 kilometers per hour) in its rapidly spinning atmosphere. The planet's powerful jet streams and chaotic storm systems contribute to these extreme wind speeds.

The Pioneer 11 probe was launched on, April 6, 1973.Last contact with the probe was November 1995.

Not "life as we know it", such as life here on Earth. We can't speak with any precision about "life as we DON'T know it", other possibly exotic forms of life, but considering that in other environments that we once considered to be "extremely hostile to life" on Earth, life somehow manages to survive. For example, in ocean-bottom "fumaroles", places where volcanic activity is happening 15,000 feet or more deep in the ice-cold waters.

So, the completely accurate answer is, "Not that we know of, but anything is possible!"

Jupiter is massive enough, thus has enough gravitational pull to have retained even the lightest gas - hydrogen - and very little of their original atmospheres have escaped since the birth of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago.

No, Comet Hale-Bopp did not crash into Jupiter. Comet Hale-Bopp made a close approach to the Earth in 1997, but its trajectory did not intersect with Jupiter.

On Jupiter's night side, one can observe bright auroras similar to Earth's Northern Lights, caused by interactions between the planet's magnetic field and charged particles from the Sun. Additionally, lightning storms can illuminate the clouds, creating flashes of light in the darkness of Jupiter's atmosphere.

Saturn's atmosphere appears to have half the helium content of Jupiter because Saturn has a lower overall density than Jupiter, leading to a greater proportion of hydrogen compared to helium in its atmosphere. Jupiter's higher density means that there is more helium present in its atmosphere compared to Saturn.

Jupiter doesn't have a crust, it is made of gas. The core is theorized to be an inner layer of liquid metallic hydrogen surrounded by an outer shell of regular liquid hydrogen.

The most common moons of Jupiter are the Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. These moons were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610 and are among the largest moons in the solar system.

Jupiter is mostly made of hydrogen and helium, with small amounts of other elements like methane, ammonia, and water vapor. Its interior is thought to contain a dense core of rock and metal surrounded by layers of liquid metallic hydrogen.

1. The thickness of the rings around Saturn. They are less then 1km thick.

2. The diameter of the Earth's moon. Earth's moon is about 3500 km in diameter.

3. The diameter of the orbit of Jupiter is far bigger than the diameter of the Earth's moon.
