What does the land look like on jupiter?

There is no land on Jupiter as it is a gas planet. The visible "surface" is merely clouds.

Is IO tidally locked with Jupiter?

Yes. But it is still experiencing strong tidal forces due to the eccentricity of the orbit around Jupiter (the orbit is very elliptic because of orbital resonance Io has with Ganymede and Europa (the other two satellites are closest to Io regular and periodic, so even they exert a small pull on Io, the influence over time is large )). Simply put, in one orbit, Io is twice close to and twice significantly further from Jupiter. That puts Io in different gravitational potential gradient (how the gravitational pull changes over distance ). When it is close to Jupiter the gravitational pull difference between the side facing Jupiter and the opposite side elongates Io toward Jupiter. When furthest away that gravitational pull difference is smaller, so the deformation is much smaller. That continuous squeezing (like a balloon) is the tide Io is experiencing and that's what generates heat and makes it so volcanic.

Hope it helps.

What is awi?

"AWI" can stand for various things depending on the context. Some possible meanings include "Advanced Wireless Interoperability," "Animal Welfare Institute," or "Alaska Wilderness Institute." Can you provide more information to clarify what you mean by "AWI"?

How long is the revolution time for jupiters moon Callisto?

Callisto has a revolution time of approximately 16.7 Earth days, which is the time it takes for the moon to complete one orbit around Jupiter.

What do Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune have in common that Pluto does not?

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune (Jovian Planets) differ from Pluto in that they are Gas Giants comprising of mainly hydrogen, whereas Pluto is composed of rock and Ice. Also, they are much larger, by a factor of at least 20:1.

How is the Surface of the planet Jupiter?

Jupiter's surface is composed of gas rather than solid ground, so there isn't a traditional surface like on Earth. Its outer layer consists mainly of hydrogen and helium, with no solid ground to stand on. The visible clouds on Jupiter are part of its atmosphere and do not represent a solid surface like we have on Earth.

Where is Jupiter relative to the sun's location?

In the solar system, the Sun is at the center. The planets rotate and orbit around the Sun. The planets, from closest to furthest away, are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Pluto. The location of the sun in relation to Jupiter would be within the center of Jupiter's orbital field. While the relation of Jupiter to the sun would be the 5th planet.

Does Jupiter have a big mass?

Yes, it is the most massive planet in the solar system, 318 times that of the Earth.

What is the name used to describe the dark bands encircling Jupiter?

Jupiter is perpetually covered with clouds composed of ammonia crystals and possibly ammonium hydrosulfide. The clouds are located in the tropopause and are arranged into bands of different latitudes, known as tropical regions. These are sub-divided into lighter-hued zones and darker belts

How big is Io compared to Earth?

Io, one of Jupiter's moons, is roughly one-fourth the size of Earth in terms of diameter. Its diameter is about 3,643 kilometers (2,263 miles), compared to Earth's diameter of approximately 12,742 kilometers (7,918 miles).

The distance from the sun to Jupiter is 778000000000 miles so How long does it take for light from the sun to reach Jupiter?

You seem have too many zeros. Jupiter is 778 million Kilometers (778,000,000), NOT miles from the Sun. The number of miles is about 484 million (484,000,000). Light will take just over 40 minutes to reach Jupiter.

The speed of light is abut 186,000 miles per second (300,000 kilometers per second)

How far is Jupiter from earth and from the sun?

Jupiter is approximately 484 million miles from the sun on average, varying due to its elliptical orbit. In comparison, the distance between Earth and Jupiter can range from about 365 million miles to over 601 million miles, depending on where both planets are in their orbits.

What must the spacecraft do to land softly on the moon?

Generally, soft moon landings have required the use of retro-rockets. These are small rocket engines designed to slow the descent of the spacecraft. On Mars, inflatable airbags have been used. Several teams are now competing to land rovers on the moon as part of the Google Lunar X-Prize...it will be interesting to see if any of them intend to use novel new approaches to achieve soft landings.

Is life possible on jupiter's moon Io?

Life is unlikely on Jupiter's moon Io due to its extreme environment. Io is a geologically active moon with frequent volcanic activity, high radiation levels, and a lack of a stable atmosphere or liquid water, which are essential for life as we know it.

What is the average speed of Jupiter in hours?

scientist say 9 miles per second amazing oh! yeah!

Why does the moon exhibit a much stronger tidal effect on Earth than does Jupiter?

This is because Jupiter is much farther away. This equation measures the Force (F) in Newtons that two objects have on each other.

F=G (m1m2)/R

R is distance. M1 is the mass of object 1, m2 is the mass of object 2, and G is the gravitational constant.

Did a comet really crash into Jupiter?

Yes, between July 16 and July 22, 1994, several pieces of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided with Jupiter. It was the first collision of two solar system objects ever observed. The comet had been captured and broken apart by Jupiter's strong gravity. More than 20 fragments of the comet crashed into Jupiter's southern hemisphere at speeds of about 130,000 miles (210,000 km) per hour. The impacts released a lot of energy and created several large, dark scars in Jupiter's atmosphere which lasted for several weeks.

How many times can Pluto fit in to Jupiter?

Pluto is about 1/11th the diameter of Jupiter, meaning you could fit roughly 11 Plutos across the diameter of Jupiter in a line. However, if you were talking about fitting Pluto inside Jupiter, you could fit over 1,300 Earths inside Jupiter, so the number of Plutos it could fit would be significantly more.

Who was the first person to walk on Jupiter?

No one has walked on Saturn. and since the planet is a so-called Gas Giant - no solid surface - no one ever will.

How heavy will you be on Jupiter?

you will probablly be has light as a two year old

incorrect. Jupiter's gravity is far more heavy than earths, you'd way about 2.64 times more on Jupiter.

What kind of creatures might live on Jupiter?

Scientists do not know what type of living things live on Jupiter. Scientists are still looking for any living things.

If anything could live on Jupiter, pray to your God/Deity that you never bump into it.

That's the Jovial bit over, some scientists believe that amino acids (the building blocks of life) could form in the upper atmosphere, but others counter with the idea that as the amino acids clump together they get heavier and sink down into the lower atmosphere and are destroyed by the pressure and heat.

How many mercurys can fit in Jupiter?

The under taker is a fake

he poops h is pants and bought the diamonds from the dollar store if u like undertaker i hate u and he has bad diahria

Does the sun look like a star from Jupiter?

The sun is a star, so from anywhere in the universe, the sun would look like a star. However, if you mean "Does the sun look like all the other stars in the universe, from Jupiter", then no. The sun would still be considerably brighter that all the other stars.

Is jade Jupiter expensive?

The cost of jade Jupiter can vary widely depending on factors such as quality, size, color, and origin. High-quality jade Jupiter can be expensive, especially if it is large in size and has a vibrant green color with good translucency. It is advisable to do thorough research and purchase from reputable sources to ensure authenticity and value for money.

Is the air on Jupiter poisonous?

No, but you can not breathe it. It is mostly made of molecular hydrogen and helium in roughly solar proportions; other chemical compounds are present only in small amounts and include methane, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and water.
