What are some characteristics of Jupiter's moons?
Jupiter's moons are very different in size and composition. For example, Europa is composed primarily of ice. Io contains sulfur and many volcanoes. Ganymede has its own magnetic field, while Calisto is full of craters.
Where are Jupiter and Saturn located?
Jupiter and Saturn are both located in our solar system. They are the two largest planets and are located beyond the asteroid belt, with Jupiter being closer to the Sun than Saturn. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun, while Saturn is the sixth planet.
Differentiate between memory mapped IO and IO mapped IO?
Memory mapped IO is one where the processor and the IO device share the same memory location(memory) while IO mapped IO is one where the processor and the IO device have different memory located to each other.
What provided information about Jupiter?
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. It has a strong magnetic field, a Great Red Spot storm that has been raging for centuries, and a system of rings. Jupiter has at least 79 moons, with the four largest known as the Galilean moons.
What are the four gas giant planets?
In our solar system, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are the four (known) gas giant planets.
Beyond our solar system, probably the vast majority of the 4000+ planets discovered by the Kepler Space Telescope are probably gas giants, because those are the easiest to detect from interstellar distances.
Which doesn't mean that there aren't just as many small rocky planets; just that we can't see them as easily with the Kepler Telescope.
Does jupiter revolve around the sun?
Viewed from the north, yes, viewed from the south, No.
All the planets revolve counterclockwise as seen from the Sun's North Pole.
Jupiter's winds can reach speeds of up to 384 miles per hour (618 kilometers per hour) at its highest. These winds are located in Jupiter's upper atmosphere and are some of the most powerful in the solar system.
What would you need to live on Jupiter if you could?
To live on Jupiter you'd need:
-Oxygen and some other gases to dilute it
-The right amount of air pressure
-Food
-Land to live on (Jupiter is made of gases)
-A way to get rid of all the toxic gases
-A proper atmosphere to keep oxygen in (Unless if you plan on building a place to live on Jupiter)
-A way to reduce the gravity (Somehow removing most of the gases)
-A way to maintain all of the needs above
Create a livable environment on Jupiter is a millimetre away from impossiblity. Even modern technology space cameras and telescopes can't survive for more than half an hour before being crushed to pieces near Jupiter because of it's extreme gravity.
How far is Jupiter from the Moon?
Earth and Jupiter orbit the sun at different distances and speeds so the distance from Earth to Jupiter itself varies a lot. On average, the distance of any moon of Jupiter to the Earth is the distance from Earth to Jupiter.
What is the exact weight of Jupiter?
Jupiter is estimated to have a mass in kilograms of 1.8986×10 to the 27th power, or 317.8 times the mass of the Earth.
It is not appropriate to ascribe a weight to Jupiter because weight depends on the acceleration due to gravity that an object experiences from another object at a point were it cannot follow that accelerative force. Since Jupiter is in orbit around the sun it is best described as weightless, just as a person in a capsule orbiting the earth is weightless.
How many cubic centimeters fit in Jupiter?
Jupiter has a volume of 143,128x1010 km3, or 143,128x1025 cm3.
How much would a 1kg bag of sugar weigh on Jupiter?
It is often stated that gravitational acceleration on equator(g) is about 2.48 times that of Earths. In this case, the bag would weigh 2.48 kg. Note however, that there is no solid surface on Jupiter, and the value is most probably just stated for it' outer atmosphere boundary. According to EnchantedLearning, the acceleration of gravity on each of the planets is: Mercury: 38% of Earth's Venus: 91% of Earth's Earth: 100% of Earth's (9.81 meters/second2) Mars: 38% of Earth's Jupiter: 254% of Earth's Saturn: 108% of Earth's Uranus: 91% of Earth's Neptune: 119% of Earth's Pluto: 8% of Earth's A person who weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh 38 pounds on Mercury or Mars, 91 pounds on Venus, 254 pounds on Jupiter, 108 pounds on Saturn, 91 pounds on Uranus, 119 pounds on Neptune, or only 8 pounds on Pluto. Hope this helps.
How much will it cost to get to Jupiter?
As of now, there is no feasible method for humans to reach Jupiter, as it is a gas giant located over 365 million miles away from Earth. The cost of building a spacecraft capable of reaching and exploring Jupiter would be astronomical.
What does the planet Jupiter stand for?
Jupiter is often associated with expansion, growth, opportunity, and abundance in astrology. It is seen as the planet of luck, optimism, and good fortune, reflecting energies related to wisdom, knowledge, and personal development. Jupiter's influence can bring about new possibilities, protection, and a sense of purpose in one's life.
What are the names of the four largest moons of Jupiter?
Collectively, they are known as the Galilean moons. Individually, they are Calypso, Ganymede, Io, and Europa.
Is Jupiter 11 times 111 times or 1111 times larger than earth?
Jupiter is about 11 times larger than Earth in terms of diameter. It is not 111 times or 1111 times larger than Earth. Jupiter's massive size makes it the largest planet in our solar system.
Is there an asteroid belt between mars and Jupiter?
The order of the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. However, Pluto the largest known dwarf planet next to Eris, is no longer considered a planet at all. It is now known as the largest member of a distinct region called the Kuniper Belt. Therefor there are officially only 8 planets in our Solar System. There is a region of the solar system located roughly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter called the asteroid belt . It is occupied with numerous irregular shaped bodies called asteroids or minor planets. Not to be confused with actual planets. Ceres is the only object in the belt large enough for its gravity to force it into a roughly round shape, and so, according to the IAU's 2006 resolution on the definition of a planet, it is now considered a dwarf planet.
It was from a giant cloud of gas and dust, called a nebula that collapsed forming our solar system. Slowly, gravity began to pull the solar nebula together, which began to spin faster and faster until it flattened into a disk. Gravity pulled most of the gas into the center of the disk, where nuclear fusion began. This created our sun.
Meanwhile, in outer parts of the disk, gas and dust particles collided and stuck together. Eventually the bigger pieces planetesimals, combined to form our eight planets. Planets that stuck together in the inner solar system were small terrestrial planets (rocky). Planets that stuck together in the outer solar system were large gas and ice giants.
What planet has a large red spot thought to be a hurricane?
Jupiter has a large red spot that is thought to be a massive storm system, rather than a hurricane. This storm has been raging for hundreds of years and is monitored closely by astronomers.
Why did they name Jupiter's moon IO?
Jupiter's moon Io was named after a priestess from Greek mythology who was a lover of Zeus. Io was turned into a cow by Zeus to protect her from his jealous wife Hera. Galileo Galilei discovered Io in 1610 while observing Jupiter's moons.
What equipment would you need to go to Jupiter?
To go to Jupiter, you would need a spacecraft capable of withstanding the extreme radiation and atmospheric pressure of the planet, as well as the long duration of the journey. This spacecraft would require advanced life support systems, radiation shielding, propulsion systems, communication equipment, and scientific instruments to study Jupiter and its moons.
A "failed star" is a loose term, to describe a ball of hydrogen and helium, that didn't have enough mass to initiate nuclear fusion and become a "real" star.
These "stars" are known as brown dwarfs. [See related question].
Some people believe Jupiter is a failed star, but this is not the case.
If you could travel to Jupiter what equipment would you need?
Nothing.
The pressure and temperature in Jupiter is too high for any object or person.
Objects or people would be crushed by the pressure and burned by the heat. They'd be a pile of dust orbiting the planet in a matter of seconds.
No, Jupiter is not freezing. Jupiter is a gas giant planet composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, and its core is thought to be extremely hot. The outer layers of Jupiter's atmosphere can reach temperatures as low as -145 degrees Celsius, but the planet as a whole is not freezing.
What is the name of the innermost moon of Jupiter?
The innermost Galilean moon is Io. It's a veritable volcano in space, being stressed by Jupiter's tidal forces.
Comment : I think the innermost moon (not just of the Galilean moons) is Metis.
