Planet Jupiter

Earth rotates once every 24 hours. If you divide 8766.15 by 24, you get pretty close to the number of days in a year. __________ Not quite. 24 hours is the average synodic period of earth, not the rotational (sidereal) period. Earth rotates once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.1 seconds roughly. This turns out to be about 23.93 hours. The orbital period of earth is 8766.152784 hours roughly. So the earth rotates (sidereal) about 366.325 times in a year. See discussion if you doubt this result.

The "Great Red Spot of Jupiter" as it is called, is an anticyclonic storm which has been raging on the planet for hundreds of years. Nobody knows how long the storm has existed for exactly, but it was discovered in 1831.

No, Jupiter has not been visited by humans. The harsh radiation environment, extreme temperatures, and lack of solid surface make it difficult for human spacecraft to survive there. However, unmanned spacecraft like the Galileo and Juno missions have studied Jupiter from orbit.

Taking chickens on a voyage to Jupiter is not recommended as they would likely not survive the journey due to factors like zero gravity, radiation exposure, and lack of suitable food and water. It would be more practical to have a different type of payload for such a mission.

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system!

Jupiter's core is estimated to be around 7-25 times the mass of Earth, with a radius of approximately 16,000-25,000 km. It is composed primarily of rock, metal, and hydrogen compounds at extremely high temperatures and pressures. Despite its significant size, Jupiter's core accounts for only a small fraction of the planet's total volume.

I am an asteroid belt, a region in space located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, where millions of small rocky objects orbit the Sun. These asteroids range in size from small rocks to hundreds of kilometers across, and they are believed to be remnants from the early solar system.

Uranus is 63 times the volume of Earth, 1321 times the volume of Earth. Based on this and ignoring the spherical characteristics of both planets, Jupiter is approximately 20 times the volume of Uranus.

Jupiter is gaseous because it is predominantly made up of hydrogen and helium, the two most abundant gases in the universe. Its large size and mass, along with its distance from the Sun, allow it to retain these gases in their gaseous state rather than forming solid or liquid layers like terrestrial planets.

Jupiter's length of orbit, or its orbital period, is about 4,332.82 Earth days, which is equivalent to roughly 11.9 Earth years.

Jupiter's orbital period is about 4331.5 Earth days while earths is 365 days averagely.

It is about 11.86 years so Jupiter has a year almost 12 times longer than earths.

If the sun suddenly stopped shining, it would take about 43 minutes for Jupiter to become dark, as that is how long it takes for sunlight to reach Jupiter. Jupiter's moons would also become dark since they rely on the sun's light for illumination.

Mercury, because it's the smallest if you don't consider Pluto to be a planet.

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. There are lots of websites that will tell you where to look for it and what other things you can see in the night sky. One of those is given below.

No, Jupiter is not dark. It is a gas giant planet that reflects a significant amount of sunlight due to its composition and atmosphere. Jupiter is actually one of the brightest objects in the night sky when viewed from Earth.

Mars is the only planet between Earth and Jupiter, but there is a "dwarf planet", Ceres, which is the biggest body in the Asteroid Belt. Another large asteroid is Vesta, and there are thousands of smaller rocks orbiting between Jupiter and Mars.

.

Those are called asteroids, which are rocky objects that orbit the Sun. They are leftover fragments from the formation of the solar system and are mainly found in the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter.

That description fits the definition of an asteroid. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun located primarily in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They vary in size from a few meters to hundreds of kilometers in diameter.

A small planet-like object between Mars and Jupiter is called an asteroid. These rocky bodies are remnants from the early solar system and are found in the asteroid belt, a region located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The largest asteroid, Ceres, is classified as a dwarf planet.

You could jump farther on Mars than Jupiter because Mars has lower gravity than Jupiter. Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards a planet's center, so lower gravity on Mars means you can jump higher and farther there compared to the higher gravity on Jupiter.

Jupiter's axial tilt is minimal, so it experiences only minor seasonal variations. Its equatorial regions receive more sunlight than the poles, leading to atmospheric patterns that vary over time. The gas giant's fast rotation of about 10 hours contributes to dynamic weather systems, including powerful storms and colorful bands of clouds.

Ganymede is the largest Galilean moon, the largest Jovian moon, and the largest moon in the solar system.

Yes, The Great Red Spot is a Hurricane, but it doesn't have rain. The Great Red

Has lightning and very, very fast winds, but no air. It is still moving across Jupiters

southern hemisphere today and has been doing it for 350 years.

Jupiter's banded appearance is due to different wind speeds and directions in its atmosphere. The planet's rapid rotation creates strong jet streams that cause the clouds to form distinct bands. These bands are made up of different types of clouds and gases, giving Jupiter its colorful striped look.

0% because there is 90% hydrogene & 10% helium
