How long has Jupiter been known to humans for?
Jupiter is near enough and bright enough to be seen from Earth, so as long as people have lived, it has been possible to see it. As I am typing this, on August the 11th 2009, it is possible to see Jupiter at night. From the northern hemisphere, it looks like a very bright star towards the south east. It is much brighter than anything else apart from the moon. It will be possible to see it every clear night for many months to come, right throughout the winter.
What is Jupiter's gravitational force on Io and Europa?
I calculate the answers to be about:
For Io: 0.71 Newtons per kilogram.
For Europa: 0.28 Newtons per kilogram.
It's hard to give an exact answer because of the varying distances of the moons from Jupiter.
What is the problem of living in Jupiter?
Living on Jupiter would be impossible due to its extreme atmospheric conditions, including high levels of radiation and crushing pressure. Additionally, Jupiter doesn't have a solid surface to support life as we know it, making it completely inhospitable for humans.
What is the largest planet to orbit the sun?
Jupiter is the moss massive planet that revolves around the sun, with a mass of 1.8988 x 1027 kg. This is 234% more mass than the next massive planet, Saturn, which has a mass of 5.685 x 1026 kg.
What is Jupiters highest and lowest temperature?
Jupiter's highest temperature occurs at its core, estimated to be around 24,000°C (43,000°F). At the top of Jupiter's clouds, the temperature can drop to as low as -145°C (-234°F).
Is Jupiters mass larger than earth?
Yes, Jupiter's mass is significantly larger than Earth's. Jupiter is about 318 times more massive than Earth.
Who was the first to land on Jupiter?
The first spacecraft to visit Jupiter was pioneer 10 in 1973, followed a few months later by Pioneer 11. Aside from taking the first close-up pictures of the planet, the probes discovered its magnetosphere and its largely fluid interior. The voyager 1 and Voyager 2 probes visited the planet in 1979, and studied its moon and the ring system, discovering the volcanic activity of Io and the presence of water ice on the surface of Europa. Ulyssesfurther studied Jupiter's magnetosphere in 1992 and then again in 2000. The Cassini probe approached the planet in 2000 and took very detailed images of its atmosphere. The New Horizons spacecraft passed by Jupiter in 2007 and made improved measurements of its and its satellites' parameters.
What planet Jupiter make unique?
Jupiter is unique because it is the largest planet in our solar system, with a mass more than twice that of all the other planets combined. It also has a powerful magnetic field that creates intense radiation belts around it, and it has a large number of moons, including the four largest Galilean moons.
Is Saturn denser than Jupiter?
Saturn isn't denser than Earth. Saturn is about one eighth the density of Earth. It is less dense because it is mostly composed of hydrogen and helium while Earth is made mostly of rock and iron.
How long does it take Jupiter to make one revolution?
The "day" on Jupiter is estimated at about 10 Earth hours (9 hours 56 minutes). However, the exterior gases of the planet rotate at different speeds depending on their latitude, with the equatorial velocity the greatest.
(The year, one revolution around the Sun, is about 4331 Earth days, 11.86 Earth years.)
What will happen if Jupiter dies?
Jupiter is a gas giant and does not "die" in the traditional sense. It is made up primarily of hydrogen and helium, similar to a star. If Jupiter were to somehow lose its gas and dissipate, it would not have a direct impact on our solar system, since it does not support life as we know it.
Earth is how many days from Jupiter?
At its closest, Jupiter is 588.42 million kilometers from Earth, or 32.7 light minutes. At its furthest, with Jupiter on the far side of the Sun form Earth, Jupiter is 53.8 light minutes away.
What lies in between mars and Jupiter?
Mars and Jupiter have 343 million mi (552 million km) of space between them, so there are lots of things in between the two planets. However, the main thing between Mars and Jupiter is the asteroid belt.
How long does it take to get data from Earth to Jupiter?
Well here's a start: velocity = distance / time
time = distance / velocity
The velocity will be 3*10^8 M/s which is the speed of all EM waves (Light, Radio etc)
Find the distance from Jupiter, (in Meters) and sub in.
What are the common elements present on Jupiters moon Io?
Common elements present on Jupiter's moon Io include sulfur, sulfur dioxide, and various sulfur compounds. These elements contribute to Io's intense volcanic activity, creating its distinctive yellow and orange coloration. Additionally, Io's surface is composed mainly of silicate rock.
How often would your birthday be in Jupiter?
You would have a birthday once a year (there are 365 days in a year) if you lived "in" Jupiter, Florida. Also, you meant the planet Jupiter there two answers-
1. Your birthday would be celebrated on Earths calendar once every year you are alive.
1. You also can not live inside (non- habitable) Jupiter if that is your question.
You were not asking with proper details to give an intelligent answer. Sorry.
What is icy satellite of Jupiter?
An icy satellite of Jupiter is a moon that is composed predominantly of ice and rock. Examples include Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. These moons have subsurface oceans beneath their icy shells and are thought to potentially harbor conditions that could support life.
What is the distance between mars and Jupiter's called?
There is a region in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter that, some scientists believed, ought to contain a planet. Early astronomers started looking for a planet in that gap, and found instead tens of thousands of small bodies that they called "little star-like thing". It sounds better in Latin; "Asteroid".
So the area between Mars and Jupiter is sometimes called the "asteroid belt".
What is the scale diameter of Jupiter when the sun is 3000 mm?
The scale diameter of Jupiter would be approximately 31.8 mm if the sun is represented as 3000 mm in diameter on the same scale.
Composition of the atmosphere of Neptune?
The atmosphere of Neptune is mainly helium and hydrogen, with trace amounts of ammonia, methane and water. Neptune is a gas giant with a small solid core. Neptunes atmospere contains variable gases, ice, and water. Also the center of Neptunes core is made of ice and water also.
Is the Atmosphere of Jupiter thick or thin?
The atmosphere of Jupiter is considered thick compared to Earth's atmosphere. It is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium gases, with traces of other elements. The atmosphere is much deeper and denser than Earth's atmosphere, extending many kilometers into the planet's interior.
Is there a way to determine how long it would take to get to Europa from Earth?
Yes, but you would need to know the velocity of the object travelling there and also the distance between the earth and Europa at the point of time you left, while calculating the orbital distance difference of Jupiter and Europa whilst travelling.
A rough estimate (ignoring those variables) would be the distance from the sun to Jupiter is 5.2au (with the distance of Europa from Jupiter being 0.004au, so we'll ignore it), so the distance from Earth to Europa is 4.2au at minimum distance. (1au = ~150,000,000km)
Because the speed is unknown at present, we'll say the speed the object (space shuttle) is travelling at is 30,000kph, that would make the time 875 days to travel there at constant speed. Walking there would take 14,383 years.
Why is Jupiter's day so short?
Jupiter's day is short because it has a fast rotation speed—it completes a full rotation on its axis in about 9.9 hours. This rapid rotation causes a shorter day compared to Earth, which takes about 24 hours to complete a rotation.
