Planet Jupiter

Both Jupiter's Great Red Spot and Neptune's Great Dark Spot are large, persistent storm systems in their respective atmospheres. They are both visible features on the planets that have been observed by telescopes and spacecraft. Additionally, both features are dynamic, changing in size, shape, and intensity over time.

Jupiter's atmosphere is predominantly composed of hydrogen and helium, with trace amounts of other gases like methane and ammonia. It is known for its colorful cloud bands, storms, and the Great Red Spot. Saturn's atmosphere is also mostly hydrogen and helium, but it has a prominent feature called the hexagonal polar vortex at its north pole, as well as large storm systems and unique cloud patterns.

Jupiter's gravity is approximately 24.79 m/s² at its equator and 24.92 m/s² at its poles. This is about 2.5 times the gravity on Earth.

The Voyager 1 spacecraft discovered Jupiter's ring.

No, Earth actually has a shorter year than Jupiter. Earth takes about 365.25 days to complete one orbit around the sun, while Jupiter takes approximately 11.9 Earth years for a single orbit. Mercury has the shortest year of all the planets in our solar system, completing an orbit around the sun in about 88 Earth days.

Gravity on Jupiter is 2.364 that of earth. So at 84 pounds you would weigh 198.576 pounds there.

Give that Jupiter's mean radius is 69,911 kilometers and Mars' radius is 3,396 km, you would be able to line up about 20 Mars across Jupiter. For comparison you could line up 11 Earths across Jupiter.

In terms of volume you can fit 8,724 Mars and 1,321 Earths inside Jupiter.

Jupiter is a gas planet and so does not have oceans (as far as we know) it is just clouds. If you watch the Star Wars movie: Episode V, The Empire Strikes Back, near the end when the character fly to the planet with the cloud city, you get to see what a gas planet would look like. Its all clouds. The things they live on are large structures that are built to float or hover in the clouds. There is no ground or water.

Jupiter is a very windy and stormy planet. There are constant storms over Jupiter, with winds reaching speeds of well over 390 miles per hour. The atmosphere is made up of hydrogen and ammonia.

Lightning has been observed on Jupiter, leading astronomers to believe there might be water clouds beneath the ammonia layer that we cannot see.

The planet is very cold, usually between -120 and -140 Celsius on average.

There is a large storm, called "The Great Red Spot" which has been raging on the planet. the storm was discovered over 350 years ago and is STILL raging on today.

Yes, Jupiter has a thick atmosphere primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. It also contains trace amounts of other elements, such as methane, ammonia, and water vapor. The atmosphere of Jupiter is well-known for its banding patterns and the Great Red Spot, a persistent storm system.

Yes, the Galileo spacecraft conducted a close-up study of Jupiter from 1995 to 2003, providing detailed images and data of the planet. Additionally, the Juno spacecraft, which arrived at Jupiter in 2016, continues to study the planet up close, providing high-resolution images and insights into its atmosphere and magnetic field.

Jupiter does not have a solid surface like rocky planets. It is a gas giant made mostly of hydrogen and helium. Therefore, it does not have a surface that can be described as rough or smooth like terrestrial planets.

Jupiter is a gas giant composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, making it inhospitable for known forms of life, including bacteria. The extreme temperatures, lack of solid surface, and high levels of radiation on Jupiter make it highly unlikely for bacteria to exist there.

Jupiter's gravitational field is second only in strength to that of the Sun. It's role in protecting the Earth form comet and asteroid impacts is only now being fully appreciated. Comet '' Shoemaker Levy 9 '' recently impacted Jupiter having broken into 9 separate fragments, any one of which, had it hit the Earth would have been totally catastrophic for the continuation of life on Earth. This was thought to be a once in a lifetime event until our ideas were altered this Summer when another huge impact was spotted by amateurs astronomers. Hubble's recently refurbished camera was quickly commisioned and pointed at this impact site. We are very fortunate to have this protection and could be another reason why life has been able to progress relatively uniformly on Earth although there have been several mass extinction events throughout geologiical time. The last being the Chixulub crater in the Yucatan peninsula which is thought to have killed off the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

The Greek counterpart to the Roman god Jupiter is Zeus. Both deities were considered the king of the gods in their respective mythologies.

Jupiter's rapid rotation causes its flattening at the poles and bulging at the equator, giving it an oblate spheroid shape. This fast rotation also generates a strong magnetic field, which interacts with the solar wind to create powerful auroras near its poles.

63 moons 49 named don't know the names sorry and 14 unnamed

None.

Saturn has a great white spot, Uranus has a dark spot.

However, Neptune has a great dark spot [see related link for a picture] which has been compared to Jupiters great red spot, but it is not red.

As is true of all the planets, Jupiter is closest to the sun when it is at perihelion. Planetary orbits are elliptical, and so there is one point per planetary year when they are at their closest, and another point when they are farthest out.

The bands on Jupiter are areas of alternating light and dark clouds that are caused by differences in the planet's atmospheric composition and temperature. The most prominent bands are the equatorial bands and the polar bands, which are visible in Jupiter's atmosphere.

Gravity, as far as we can tell, is generated simply by matter making holes and dents in space, thus, the more matter you have, the stronger the gravitational pull. Uranus is MUCH bigger than the earth. I don't know the exact measurement, but it is BIG. So if Uranus is so much bigger than earth, how strong do you think the gravitational pull would be?

Jupiter is known to have several cloud layers in its atmosphere, with the most prominent being its colorful bands of clouds that encircle the planet. It also has large storm systems, such as the Great Red Spot, which are massive cloud formations that persist for long periods. The exact number of individual clouds on Jupiter is not known, as the planet's dynamic weather patterns make it difficult to count them accurately.

Not our (the Earth's) moon but Jupiter has lots of its own moons that orbit it.

If I were to move to Jupiter, my mass would remain the same regardless of the location I am in the universe. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is independent of the gravitational field strength. However, my weight would change because weight depends on the gravitational pull, which is much stronger on Jupiter compared to Earth.
