Planet Jupiter

Its a "Gas Giant". :) Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are also Gas Giants.

Jupiter has 65 confirmed moons. The 4 large ones are called the Galilean moons. They are Ganymede, Callisto, Io and Europa. Ganymede is composed primarily of silicate rock and water ice. It is a fully differentiated body with an iron-rich, liquid core. A saltwater ocean is believed to exist nearly 200 km below Ganymede's surface, sandwiched between layers of ice. Callisto is composed of approximately equal amounts of rock and ices, with a mean density of about 1.83 g/cm3. Compounds detected spectrally on the surface include water ice, carbon dioxide, silicates, and organics. Investigation by the Galileo spacecraft revealed that Callisto may have a small silicate core and possibly a subsurface ocean of liquid water at depths greater than 100 kilometers With over 400 active volcanoes, Io is the most geologically active object in the Solar System. Unlike most satellites in the outer Solar System (which have a thick coating of ice), Io is primarily composed of silicate rock surrounding a molten iron or iron sulfide core. Most of Io's surface is characterized by extensive plains coated with sulfur and sulfur dioxide frost. Europa is slightly smaller than Earth's Moon and is the sixth-largest moon in the Solar System. Though by a wide margin the least massive of the Galilean satellites, its mass nonetheless significantly exceeds the combined mass of all moons in the Solar System smaller than itself. It is primarily made of silicate rock and likely has an iron core. It has a tenuous atmosphere composed primarily of oxygen. Its surface is composed of ice and is one of the smoothest in the Solar System.

While Jupiter's size may make it challenging for organisms to live on its surface, it is possible that alien life could exist in its atmosphere or on its moons. Future studies and missions will provide more information on the potential for life on or around Jupiter.

The six largest moons of Jupiter are Ganymede, Callisto, Io, Europa, Amalthea, and Himalia. Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system, followed by Callisto and then Io and Europa. Amalthea and Himalia are smaller but still among the largest moons of Jupiter.

If you weighed 90 pounds on Earth, you would weigh approximately 236.7 pounds on Jupiter. Jupiter's gravity is much stronger than Earth's, so a person would weigh more on Jupiter due to the increased gravitational pull.

The orbital period of Jupiter is about 11.9 Earth years. This means it takes Jupiter approximately 11.9 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun.

Jupiter's gravitational pull helps to protect Earth from potential comet impacts by attracting and sometimes deflecting them away. Additionally, Jupiter's presence in our solar system contributes to the overall stability and balance of the planetary system, which has influenced the evolution of Earth over time.

The eccentricity of Neptune's orbit is approximately 0.009. This means that Neptune's orbit around the Sun is very close to being a perfect circle.

Astro-biologists and scientists tell us that humans cannot live on Jupiter because it is all gas and clouds. Can't stand on clouds ya know. Have you seen the movie Star Wars, Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back? In this fictional movie the characters fly in their spaceship to a planet called Bespin. This planet is a gas planet and they have a floating city to live on. So unless we discover Jupiter does have solid ground with a livable atmosphere or unless we develop the means to make massive floating cities, we cannot live on Jupiter.

the closest thing in our solar system to a double planet is Pluto-Charon, since they have a barycenter outside the two bodies. however, they are no longer considered planets.

Some people call Neptune and Uranus twin planets because their composition is similar as are their looks.

No human has set foot on Jupiter. Earth is the only planet we have set foot on, and the moon the only natural satellite. Also, Jupiter is made of gas, so it has no surface

Unmanned probes have been further, is this what you meant? Pioneer 10 first flew a successful mission to Jupiter.

The first asteroid discovered in 1801 is Ceres. It is the largest object in the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter. Ceres was initially considered the eighth planet until the discovery of many other asteroids in the same region.

Most of Jupiter's 63 moons are captured from the outer solar system. The ones that are not are left over gas, rock and ice from the accretion disk that formed around Jupiter when it was coalescing into a planet.

Because of a basic law which states that matter is attracted to matter, the gravitational pull of a body is directly proportional to its mass. Thus, Jupiter, having a larger mass than the moon, has a greater gravitational force.

Pluto's moons were discovered by different scientists over the years. The first moon, Charon, was discovered by James Christy in 1978. The additional moons were discovered in the 2000s through observations made by the Hubble Space Telescope.

Jupiter's volume is estimated to be about 1.43 x 10^15 cubic kilometers. If we estimate the volume of a green pea to be about 1 cubic centimeter, we could fit approximately 1.43 x 10^24 green peas inside Jupiter.

Jupiter, the biggest planet in our astonishing solar system. Jupiter has 60+ known moons. But there are four main moons, Io, Europa, Callisto and Ganymede. Io is 3,630 km in diameter and is 421,600 km away from Jupiter. It is very active, and has constant volcanic eruption. Europa is 3,138 km in diameter and is 670,900 km away from Jupiter. Astronomers think that underneath its crust, it may harbor an ocean. Ganymede is 5,262 km in diameter - the largest moon in our Solar System - and is 1,070,000 km away from Jupiter. Also, this moon could potentially harbor an ocean beneath its crust. Callisto is 4,800 km in diameter and is 1,883,800 km away from Jupiter.

The gravity of Jupiter's mass ought to have pulled the planet into a perfect sphere. However, Jupiter rotates very quickly, and the equatorial mass is lifted from its natural altitude by the centripedal force of Jupiter's spin.

Satun is the 2nd largest planet

You Could be able to see Jupiter from mars but not mars from Jupiter because Jupiter has an atmosphere of thick dense orange clouds which in comparison to earth like looking for the stars in pure daylight on a very cloudy afternoon

Jupiter's degree of flattening indicates that it is not a perfect sphere, suggesting that the planet rotates rapidly. This spin causes the equator to bulge out and the poles to flatten, giving a clue about its internal structure and composition.

humans can not live in the environment because of the atmosphere. there also isnt any oxegen. and last of all, Mercury is way to close to the sun and it would be very hot!

There is a 14.07504 hour difference in the day between the two planets. A day on Jupiter lasts 9.92496 hours as it is the fastest rotating body in your Solar System while an Earth day of course is 24 hours.

The force of gravitational attraction of Jupiter is about 24.79 m/s^2, which is about 2.53 times the gravity on Earth. This means that objects on Jupiter would weigh about 2.53 times more than they would on Earth.
