Planet Jupiter

Mars and Jupiter were last visible from Earth in the early morning sky in November 2021. Jupiter rises before dawn, while Mars is also visible in the eastern sky before sunrise.

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun in the Solar system. It is located 890,700,000 miles away, which is 1,433,000,000 kilometers away.

Jupiter is almost always visible in the night sky, except for a month or so around the time of opposition (when Jupiter is on the other side of the Sun from the Earth). Jupiter is currently coming out of opposition, and ought to be visible in the pre-dawn sky after late March.

Except for the dwarf planet Ceres (largest of the asteroids), there is no real planet between Mars and Jupiter, Instead, there is a wide, sparsely populated belt of asteroids. This is referred to as the "Main Belt".

It was once speculated that a planet did exist between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, based on the distances of the known planets from the Sun. Many of the early astronomers viewed the asteroid belt as the remains of a planet that was destroyed by a devastating impact with another stellar object.

However, the current theory is that no planet ever formed there due to gravitational interactions between the Sun and Jupiter. These could have stopped the accretion process from actually allowing the planetesimals to "gel" together. The mass of the belt is relatively low, suggesting that much of the original mass there has been dispersed.

The name Jupiter comes from Roman mythology, where Jupiter was the king of the gods and the god of the sky and thunder. The name likely has its roots in the Latin word "Iuppiter," which combines "Iuppiter" (Jupiter) and "pater" (father).

The volume of Jupiter is 1,321.3 Earth volumes.

The volume of Pluto is 0.007 Earth volumes.

So 1321.3/0.007=188757.1 Plutos can fit inside Jupiter.

Both Ganymede and Earth's moon are composed mostly of rock and ice. They are both tidally locked to their parent planet, meaning the same side always faces their host body. However, Ganymede is larger than Earth's moon and has a thin atmosphere, unlike our moon.

No, Jupiter's orbit is not a perfect circle but rather an ellipse. This means its distance from the Sun varies over time. However, Jupiter's orbit is very close to being circular compared to some other planets in our solar system.

The gravity of Uranus is about 0.86 that of Earth. This means an object that weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh 86 pounds on Uranus.

Jupiter's count of moons is currently at 63. The four most important moons are Ganymede, Europa, Callisto, and Io.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar system, but it is not larger than the Sun. The Sun is about 10 times larger than Jupiter.

The famous meteor that hit Jupiter was actually the fragmented comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 in July 1994. It broke into multiple pieces before colliding with Jupiter, creating a series of impact marks on the planet's surface.

Saturn's moon Titan is the second largest body in the solar system after Jupiter's moon Ganymede. It is larger than the planet Mercury and has a thick atmosphere, with surface features such as rivers, lakes, and mountains.

It is believed that Jupiter's core is a dense mixture of rock and metal, but not solid in the traditional sense. The intense pressure and temperature in Jupiter's core make the materials behave more like a thick liquid rather than a solid.

It takes approximately 12 Earth years for Jupiter to complete one orbit around the Sun. This means a year on Jupiter is equivalent to about 12 Earth years. So, in terms of Earth months, a year on Jupiter would equate to 144 Earth months.

Io's rotational period, or the time it takes for the moon to complete one full rotation on its axis, is approximately 42.5 hours. This means that a day on Io lasts around 42.5 Earth hours.

It ranges from 5.458104 AU to 5.458104 AU for an average of 5.204267 AU.

it has .10% to .15% of oxygen levels not much, but it has some.

Most spacesuits are designed to withstand temperatures ranging from -250°F to 250°F (-160°C to 120°C). Specialized suits for specific missions or environments may have higher or lower tolerance for temperature extremes.

The red spot is a storm, a hurricane that has been blowing since Galileo first observed it four hundred years ago. We know the storm is therefore at least 400 years old. It may be nearly as old as the solar system itself, about 4.5 billion years. There is no way to know for certain at the present time.

The diameter of the storm varies from about 15,000 miles to around 25,000 miles. You could line our earth across it about three times--it is that large. Its color comes from the variety of elements the storm dredges up from deeper within Jupiter.

Yes, Jupiter has a much larger mass than Earth. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and is more than 300 times more massive than Earth. Its mass is mainly composed of hydrogen and helium gases.

There are four planets in our Solar System that are gas giants: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. There are many others but are extrasolar, as in outside our Solar System.

Jupiter is mainly composed of hydrogen and helium. It has also some traces of gases like neon, oxygen, ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. It also has some compounds like different hydrocarbons and silicon based compounds.
