Planet Jupiter

The impacts on Jupiter were only several kilometers deep, very small compared to the size of Jupiter. The impacts were later seen as dark patches, which disappeared as the winds of Jupiter carried them off.

Jupiter has 63 moons and it is the biggest planet not including the sun

the answer is logical, the mass and weight of earth is twice as larger by the increasing of the gravitational pull of the earths core weighs it down,( b*h=pi=3.14159265) resulting to the mass of earths to be greater then the mass on Uranus.

Dear Wiki Questioner,

Since the planets are relatively nice spheres, we can use the equation for the volume of a sphere to calculate the volume of a planet given its radius:

V=(4/3) x pi x R^3

Where V is the volume of our planet

pi is approximately 3.14159

and R is the radius of our planet

For earth, Ve=(4/3) x pi x Re^3

For Jupiter, Vj=(4/3) x pi x (11Re)^3=(4/3) x pi x 1331 xRe^3=1331*Ve

So the Volume of Jupiter is 1331 time the volume of Earth. The ratio of their volumes can be expressed as 1331/1 or 1331:1

Jupiter is a gas giant with extreme conditions, including high radiation levels, intense gravity, and a lack of a solid surface, which make it uninhabitable for humans. It lacks a solid ground to stand on, and its atmosphere is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium gases. It is not a suitable environment for life as we know it.

Jupiter's atmosphere is mainly composed of hydrogen and helium, with smaller amounts of methane, ammonia, and water vapor. The gas giant has no solid surface and its atmosphere is very dynamic, featuring powerful storms and high-speed winds.

Jupiter does not have a birthday in the same way humans do. It was formed around the same time as the rest of the solar system, approximately 4.5 billion years ago.

Dear Wiki Questioner,

A 13 earth year-old girl living on Jupiter would have experienced the same amount of time passing in her life as a 13 earth year-old girl on earth (she could have watched the same number of movies, and read the same number of books!). Being 13 earth-years old simply indicates that while you have been alive, the earth has traveled around the sun 13 complete times!!

However, in this same amount of time, Jupiter (which takes about 11.9 times as long as the earth to go completely around the sun) would have only gone around the sun about 1 and one tenth times. So you can say that a 13 earth-year old girl is 1 and one tenth Jupiter years old!

Jupiter is outside the asteroid belt, which is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Jupiter's orbit is closer to the asteroid belt than the terrestrial planets like Earth and Mars, but it is still outside the main region of the asteroid belt.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System and is the fifth from the Sun. It is twice as massive as all the other planets combined.

Jupiter is about 483.8 million miles away from the sun. To convert this to feet, you would multiply the miles by 5,280 (the number of feet in a mile) to get approximately 2.55 trillion feet.

The ancients knew about Jupiter. They knew it was different from other objects in the sky. However, it is not known for sure if one person can claim the discovery, as it happened before recorded history began (which more or less addresses the "when" part).

Gravity is always dependent on the mass of the objects involved.

Earth's mass is 5.98 * 10^24

Jupiter's mass is 1900 * 10^24

(Note: '^' symbol means "to the power of", ie 10^24 means a '1' followed by 24 zeros). Oh, and I found these figures on the website "http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/ast99/ast99227.htm"

So because both values have 10^24 as their order of magnitude we can simply compare 5.98 to 1900...

1900 / 5.98 = 317.72blahblahblah

So the effect of the gravitational force on Jupiter will feel like it is roughly 318 times as stronger as that on earth.

Assuming you could even light a match in outer space, not much.

Jupiter isn't flammable. The only thing that could set it ablaze is if much much more mass were added to it so that it's gravitational field became strong enough to cause nuclear fusion at it's core, igniting it into a second sun.

The spacecraft that has flown by Jupiter is the Pioneer 10 in 1973 and the Voyager 1 in 1979. The spacecraft that has landed on Jupiter is the Galileo probe, which was intentionally plunged into Jupiter's atmosphere in 2003 at the end of its mission.

The apparent size of a celestial body in the sky can be solved using simple trigonometry. Theta is the number of arc degrees in the sky that the body occupies and

Radius of the body/distance to the body = Tangent(Theta/2)

Since Jupiter is ~140,000 km at its equator and Europa orbits ~670,000 km from Jupiter

143,000/670,000=0.2134=Tangent(Theta/2)

Theta = 11.9°

For comparison, the full moon is ~0.5°, so Jupiter would appear nearly 24 times larger than the moon!

Brown dwarfs are substellar objects that are larger and more massive than planets like Jupiter. They are not massive enough to sustain nuclear fusion in their cores, which is a defining characteristic of stars. Jupiter, on the other hand, is a gas giant planet in our solar system.

You may be surprised to learn that the spot varies in size. Sometimes it is only 12,000 miles long, and sometimes it is 24,000 miles long. It is an oval shape, and the short distance across the oval is about half the length (6,000 to 12,000 miles across). Earth is about 8,000 miles across, so that makes it smaller than the red spot.

The composition of the atmosphere remains constant at different altitudes, with nitrogen making up about 78% and oxygen about 21%.

Scientists (astronomers) can make Jupiter appear bigger by using telescopes from Earth or they can build rockets and send instruments to Jupiter and make them fly past the planet or even orbit the planet. These instruments are able to view Jupiter and its environs from close up and send this information back to Earth. One such Jupiter probe even sent a capsule into the planet's atmosphere to retrieve information.

The planet between Mars and Jupiter is called the dwarf planet Ceres. It is the largest object in the asteroid belt and was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. Its diameter is approximately 940 kilometers.

Zeta ii Reticulai although almost barely invisible to the eye is about 3.3 x 10 tot he 14/15 power away which is about 39 light years..the NEAREST star is FOUR light years - thus, one like in so many films, would HAVE to either have an EINSTIEN ROSENBRIDGE or FTL technology. to even get CLOSE to areas like that in UNDER 100K years.....now that is...who knows in 20 years...we could very well and hopefully be Interstellar..

1. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, with a mass more than 300 times that of Earth.
2. It was named after the king of the Roman gods, and has been observed for centuries by civilizations around the world.
3. Jupiter has at least 79 moons, with the four largest known as the Galilean moons discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610.

There is no evidence to suggest that there has ever been life on Jupiter. The extreme conditions on the planet, including its lack of a solid surface and intense radiation, make it highly unlikely that any form of life could exist there.

The object that is abundant between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter is called an asteroid. These are small rocky bodies that orbit the Sun and are remnants from the early solar system formation. The asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
