What does planet Jupiter's moon Io look like?
Io looks kind of like a pizza, but you can find pictures of it on the internet if you search a little.
It would smell like bleeding from your lungs as they rupture from the low pressure.
It would probably feel a lot like dirt or sand underneath you as you died from the lack of oxygen.
What kind of hazards are on Jupiter?
Jupiter has intense radiation belts composed of charged particles trapped in its magnetic field, which can be harmful to spacecraft and astronauts. It also has powerful storms, like the Great Red Spot, with winds reaching over 400 mph. Additionally, Jupiter's strong gravitational pull can act as a hazard for missions attempting to land on its moons.
No, Jupiter is a gas giant planet and may have no solid surface at all.
What does the outside of Jupiter look like?
Jupiter's outer appearance is dominated by its thick layer of clouds. These clouds consist mainly of ammonia and water vapor, giving Jupiter its distinct banded appearance. The planet also has a prominent Great Red Spot, a massive storm that has been raging for centuries.
How long does it take Jupiter to make one rotation about its axis?
9 hours and 50 minutes
it takes Jupiter 10 earth hours to make a Jupiter day.
The sidereal rotation period (how long it takes a planet to rotate about its axis relative to the stars) for Jupiter is 0.41 Earth days or 9 hours, 55 minutes, and 30 seconds.
A day on Jupiter is about 10 Earth hours long.
Jupiter takes about 9 hours 56 minutes to do one full rotation, compared to 24 hours here on Earth. This velocity is based on the visible cloud layers, and represents an equatorial rotation speed of 45,000 kph (28,000 mph), the fastest for any planet.
(see related question)
Jupiter's rotation period is 9.925 hours. It is 2.4 times faster than Earth's rotation period.
About ten hours; however, since Jupiter is not solid but a gas giant, its rotation time varies with latitude. Features near the equator complete a rotation in 9 hours 50 minutes; those at higher latitudes take about five minutes longer.
Jupiter rotates in about 9.925 hours or 9 hours 55.5 minutes.
The rotation time for Jupiter is 9 hrs 55 minutes.
However, since Jupiter is not solid but a gas giant, its rotation time varies with latitude. Features near the equator complete a rotation in 9 hours 50 minutes; those at higher latitudes take about five minutes longer.
The average rotational velocity of Jupiter at the equator is 12.6 kilometers per second. This means it takes less than ten hours to complete one rotation.
Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in our solar system rotating on average once in just under 10 hours.
That is very fast especially considering how large Jupiter is.
This means that Jupiter has the shortest day of all the planets in the solar
Since Jupiter is a gas planet, it does not rotate as a solid sphere.
Jupiter's equator rotates a bit faster than its polar regions at a speed of 28,273 miles/hour (about 43,000 kilometers/hour).
Jupiter's day varies from 9 hours and 56 minutes around the poles to 9 hours and 50 minutes close to the equator.
Why has no one gone to Jupiter?
Jupiter's harsh environment, including its strong gravity, intense radiation, and lack of a solid surface, presents significant challenges for exploration. Currently, the technology needed to safely send a crewed mission to Jupiter and back does not exist. Additionally, the distance and travel time (over 600 million kilometers) make such a mission logistically complex and expensive.
What is Jupiter's most important moon?
Ganymede [GAN-ee-meed] is the largest moon of Jupiter and is the largest in our solar system with a diameter of 5,262 km (3,280 miles).
Ganymede is the largest moon of Jupiter, it even bigger than pluto and mercury, and slight smaller than mars. its diameter is 5,268 km.It also the biggest moon in the solar system
Ganymede
On which planet would you weigh the least Saturn Venus Neptune or Jupiter?
You would weigh the least on Saturn. Its lower density compared to the other planets mentioned would result in a lower surface gravity, making you weigh less there.
What are the places of interest in the planet Jupiter?
The great red spot is one of the most interesting features of Jupiter. It is a storm first observed by Galileo 400 years ago. It may be far older--we just don't know. The parallel bands of weather patterns are visible from earth--I have observed them many times. Quite fascinating.
How many days does it take to get to Jupiter by jet?
It is not possible to travel to Jupiter by jet as it is a gas giant planet located millions of miles away from Earth. It would take years to reach Jupiter by spacecraft.
What Great red spot storm still going on today?
Yes, the Great Red Spot storm on Jupiter is still active today. It has been raging for hundreds of years and is a massive storm that is much larger than the Earth. Scientists continue to study this iconic feature of Jupiter to better understand its dynamics and longevity.
What did Galileo conclude from his observations of Jupiter and Venus?
how much more immature can yall be ?!
seriously!! ppl look this stuff up to get help, immaturity is for facebook and high school
the heavenly bodies were composed of material substance just like Earth, not pure orbs of light.
The great red spot is located on which planet?
The answer is Jupiter.
That would be Jupiter. The spot is a hurricane, more than three times the size of Earth, which has been raging for at least 400 years.
Jupiter
Jupiter's average temperature is about -145 degrees Celsius (-234 degrees Fahrenheit).
No, Jupiter is one of the four gas giants like Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. These have surfaces made of gases such as hydrogen.
The rocky planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
However, although Jupiter's surface isn't rocky, it's core is believed to be solid and bits of metal are believed to be floating in liquid hydrogen near the core.
How many hours does Jupiter rotate around the sun?
Not hours - Jupiter orbits around the Sun in 11.86 years.
Which one is most important in explaining the tremendous tidal heating that occurs on Io?
The interaction between Io's gravitational forces with Jupiter and the other Galilean moons is the most important factor in explaining the tremendous tidal heating on Io. The strong gravitational tug from Jupiter and the neighboring moons cause tremendous tidal forces that generate heat within Io, leading to its intense volcanic activity.
Jupiter has 16 and earth has one of what?
Some older science textbooks used to state that Jupiter had 16 moons, but several recent space probes have discovered a few dozen more. Jupiter is now known to have 63 moons, and more are almost certain to be discovered.
Earth, on the other hand, has just the one Moon.
Has there ever been a probe to Jupiter?
Jupiter has been explored multiple times by multiple space probes, each sent for varying purposes. Some were sent to study the surface, some to study the rings, others to study the magnetic field and so on.
- Pioneer 10. December 3rd 1973.
- Pioneer 11. December 2nd 1974.
- Voyager 1. January 4th to April 13th 1979.
- Voyager 2. April 25th to August 5th 1979.
- Galileo. December 7th 1995 until it malfunctioned on September 22nd 2003.
- Ulysses. February 8th 1992.
- Cassini-Huygens. December 30th 2000.
- New Horizions. January to May 2007. (Was on-route to Pluto, but stopped by Jupiter along the way to study a volcanic anomaly).
Another probe called Juno was launched in August 2011 and will arrive at Jupiter in August 2016.
What are Jupiter's common elements?
Jupiter's common elements include hydrogen and helium, which make up the majority of its composition. Other elements found in smaller amounts on Jupiter include methane, ammonia, water vapor, and trace amounts of other gases.
Would you have to wear a coat on Jupiter?
Yes, you would need to wear a protective suit rather than just a coat on Jupiter. The planet has extreme temperatures, strong winds, and a thick atmosphere composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, making it unlikely for just a coat to provide adequate protection.
How fast is the wind on Jupiter?
Winds on Jupiter can reach speeds of up to 400 miles per hour (644 kilometers per hour) in its upper atmosphere. This creates powerful jet streams and intense storms, like the Great Red Spot, with winds estimated to be even faster.
Can humans live on mars or Jupiter?
Humans may need to colonize Mars and the Jovian moons because in millions of years Earth may lose its habitability. Eventually, the people of Earth may have to find other places to live, in the solar system and beyond. Once colonies are set up, recycling and technology should enable planetary colonies to be relatively self-sufficient.
Jupiter's magnetosphere extends towards the Sun about 7 million kilometres where it encounters the solar wind, which creates a bow wave. [See related link] It extends almost to Saturn on the leeward side. (About the distance from Jupiter to the Sun) Jupiter and Earth at their closest approach are approximately 630 million kilometres apart. So the magnetosphere doesn't reach Earth.
