Planet Jupiter

Jupiter is mostly made out of gas not rock.

Galileo Galilei was the astronomer who first viewed the moons of Jupiter. He observed them in 1610 using a telescope he had made himself. His discovery provided evidence supporting the heliocentric model proposed by Copernicus.

Jupiter is a fairly big star compared to the others that we see in our night sky. My dad is a High School Science teacher and we usually look through telescopes at different stars, I looked at Jupiter recently and I would describe it as big compared to other stars, still the same color as the others, just with a little red.

It is at least bigger than the Moon. That is why Pluto was not considered as a planet in 2007. Hope this helps.

Edit: A particular size is not a requirement to be classified as a planet.

Pluto wasn't "demoted" from being a planet because of its size.

Also it's not a requirement that a planet has to be a solid.

Astronomers only came up with a definition of "planet" in 2006. I suppose

they could have decided planets had to be solid, but they didn't.

0.41354 earth days. Edit :That's the rotation period.

The period of revolution, around the Sun, is about 11.9 Earth years.

A fairly accurate answer for this revolution period is: 4332 Earth days.

120 lbs on Earth would be 283.68 lbs on Jupiter.

The surface temperature of a "hot jupiter" is typically between one and two thousand degrees. They are heated very strongly by the star because they are orbit so closely. For comparison, in our Solar System, Jupiter has a much lower temperature of between one and two hundred degrees. Because the hot jupiters always show the same face to the star, the heating is always on the same side and drives strong winds around the planet that redistribute the energy from the hot day- side to the cooler night-side. The temperature variation between the day- and night-sides depends on how efficiently the winds can transport the heat.

The body between Mars and Jupiter is the asteroid belt. It is a region in our solar system where many rocky objects orbit the Sun, ranging in size from small boulders to hundreds of kilometers in diameter.

Forever - how are you planning to walk off of a planet?

Some of the dangers on Jupiter include extreme radiation levels from its magnetic field, intense storms such as the Great Red Spot, and strong winds that can reach speeds of over 400 mph. Additionally, Jupiter's massive size and gravity can pose challenges for spacecraft attempting to explore the planet.

I'm not able to provide real-time weather updates. I recommend checking a reliable weather forecasting service for the most up-to-date information on any potential big storms in your area.

Jupiter's colors typically appear as bands of white, red, brown, and yellow caused by different atmospheric gases and compounds. These colors can vary due to changes in its atmosphere, such as swirling storms or chemical reactions between gases.

It takes Pluto 90,588 (Earth) days - or 248 (Earth) years - to make one full orbit around the sun. If one day on Pluto is equal to 153 Earth hours (or 6.375 Earth days), then one year on Pluto would therefore be equal to ~14,210 "Pluto days" (i.e. Pluto makes one full rotation around it's axis ~14,210 times for every full orbit it makes around the sun).

On Jupiter, you would weigh approximately 318 kilograms because Jupiter's gravity is 2.65 times stronger than Earth's gravity.

Jupiter is a planet, not a star, because it does not generate its own light through nuclear fusion like stars do. Instead, Jupiter reflects light from the Sun. Additionally, Jupiter is much smaller than stars and orbits a star (the Sun) like other planets in our solar system.

A person on Jupiter would need to wear a spacesuit with built-in temperature control and protection from high levels of radiation. The suit would also need to be able to withstand the intense pressures of Jupiter's atmosphere.

The stars in Jupiter appear to be white, similar to most other stars in the night sky. This is because they emit a broad spectrum of colors but are primarily perceived as white due to their intensity and distance from Earth.

A month is defined by an orbiting body. Jupiter has many different months. I have added a related link to a chart of each moon and the length of its month listed under Orbital Period.

Europa is the brightest moon of Jupiter because its surface is covered in smooth ice, making it highly reflective. This icy surface reflects more sunlight compared to the other moons with darker, more cratered terrains, despite being further away from Jupiter.

"If only Jupiter would restore those bygone years to me." Vergil, Aeneid VIII.560

Jupiter is a gas giant planet, and it is not considered to have a solid surface for a temperature comparison like rocky planets. However, its outer atmosphere is extremely cold, with temperatures dropping as low as -145 degrees Celsius.

The average distances from the sun to each of the planets are as follows: Mercury is 36 million miles, Venus is 67 million miles, Mars is 142 million miles, Jupiter is 484 million miles, and Saturn is 886 million miles.
