The first country to send spacecraft to explore Jupiter?
The first spacecraft to visit and explore Jupiter was the Pioneer 10 in 1973. The Pioneer 10 was created by NASA and made in the U.S.
Jupiter's surface is actually not red. The reddish hue seen in some images of Jupiter is typically due to colorful gases in its atmosphere, such as ammonia and methane, interacting with sunlight. Jupiter's surface is believed to be composed of a thick layer of clouds and gas rather than a solid surface.
How do the moons stay in orbit with jupiter?
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter due to the planet's gravitational pull. Gravity is the force that attracts objects with mass towards each other, keeping the moons in orbit around Jupiter as they continuously fall towards the planet but also travel sideways at a fast enough speed to avoid crashing into it.
A planet's orbit is the length it travels around the Sun. Jupiter's orbit takes 12 years, which means one year on Jupiter would equal 12 Earth years.
The shape of Jupiter is actually an oblate spheroid. An oblate spheroid has flattened poles and a bulging equator. This is so because of its speed of its rotation. It completes one rotation in only 9 hours and 55 minutes. The centrifugal force generated causes the equator to bulge. the diameter of Jupiter's equator is 5400 miles (8600km) more then the diameter from pole to pole.
What word means of or relating to the planet Jupiter?
The word that means of or relating to the planet Jupiter is "Jovian."
How many earths could fit in Jupiter?
Simple answer:
Jupiter is approximately 10 times the diameter of the Earth, so about 1,000 Earths would fit inside Jupiter.
More precise.
Jupiter is around 11.1 times the diameter of n Earth, so about 1,367 Earths would fit inside Jupiter.
Even more precise
The answer to your question depends upon exactly what you mean by "fit inside."
If you just mean "how many time larger, by volume" is Jupiter, the answer is straightforward.
You simple take the ratio of the radii of Jupiter and the Earth and cube it (i.e., multiply it by itself three times). Radius of Jupiter = 69911 km Radius of Earth = 6371 km 66911 ----- = 10.97 6371 10.97^3 = ~1320 So, the volume of the Earth would fit inside the volume of Jupiter about 1320 times.
However, if you wanted to "pack Earth-sized spheres inside" the volume of Jupiter, you need to account for the "empty space" between the spheres. It has been mathemtically shown that the densest possible packing of smaller spheres within a larger sphere only "wastes" about 25% of the space. So, this means that you could fit about 990 (1320x 0.75) Earth-size spheres within Jupiter.
How do the moons stay in and orbit Jupiter?
"Jupiters moons orbit Jupiter because gravity pulls them"
Is only half correct. Gravity from Jupiter does, indeed "pull" them toward Jupiter. But, there is an equal and opposite Force, we'll call it Energy, that is "pushing" and keeping those moons (as well as our moon, our earth and our atom's electrons) from flying out of orbit. Those Two Forces, in Balance, can be felt by holding two bar magnets toward each other, then reversing them: one "pull', one "push" Force!
Magnetism is the Cosmic Glue that holds the Universe together!
Physics is pretty simple, huh..?
Another Answer:Unfortunately, 'Magnetism is NOT the Cosmic Glue that holds the Universe together'. Gravity is the force that 'helps' to hold the Universe together, but is not really doing its JOB. The Galaxies of the Universe are flying apart from each other at an Accelerating Rate. Possibly due to "Dark Energy".
As for the Moons, well, the force of Gravity and the Centrifugal (and Centripetal) Forces are in balance, so the moons will stay in Orbit. Think of a Ball on a string being swung around your head in a circle. Then think of Gravity (and Centripetal force) as the String holding the Ball in its circular path.
Jupiter is cold because it is located much farther from the sun compared to Earth. Its distance from the sun results in lower temperatures due to receiving much less sunlight for heating. Additionally, Jupiter's composition of mostly hydrogen and helium gases also contributes to its cold temperatures.
Deimos is the smaller of Mars' two moons. It was named after an attendant of the Roman God, Mars. It is also Latin for "panic." Deimos is a dark satellite that is composed of black, carbonaceous chondrite. Some scientists believe that these moons are not actually satellites, but asteroids that have been captured instead. Scientists believe this because Deimos and Phobos are not completely round. In fact, they are not round at all! The dimensions of Deimos is 7.5*6.1*5.5 km. Deimos and Phobos, the second moon, have a lot of craters. However, Deimos is smoother and it's craters are partially filled. Here are some facts about Mars' moon, Deimos. Deimos was discovered by Asaph Hall in 1877 using a telescope at the United States Naval Observatory in Washington, D.C. (also the residence of the vice president of the United States!) The mass of Deimos is 1.8e15 kg. The rotational period of this moon is 1.26244 days, or about 30 hours, and the magnitude is 12.4 Vo.

PHOBOS:
Phobos is the larger of the two moons. It was named after an attendant of the Roman God, Mars. It is also Latin for "fear." Phobos is a dark moon that is composed of a black, carbonaceous chondrite. Like Deimos, some scientists believe that Phobos is actually a captured asteroid instead of a moon. This moon was discovered by Asaph Hall in 1877. Its mass is 1.08e16 kg. Phobos is 9,380 km from Mars, but is slowly moving closer to Mars. Scientists predict that in another 100 million years, Phobus will actually crash into Mars. Phobos is, at its longest, 14 miles (22 kilometers) across. Around three feet (1 meter) of it is a layer of dust built up over millions of years of meteorite collisions. Its rotational period is 0.3191 days, or around 7 hours, and it has a magnitude of 11.3 Vo.
mars have two moons
Jupiter doesn't really have a clearly defined 'surface', so it's difficult to define its surface temperature, but it's about 163 K, which is about -110 C or -160 F.
it can be both
The temperature on Jupiter is very cold, 250 degrees (f) below zero to be exact, but at the center it is very hot. It is more that 50,000 degrees (f).
Jupiter is a cold planet on the outside, but it is hot deep inside.
How are Jupiter's days different from other planets' days?
The length of each planet's days are different because they rotate at different speeds. A day on Mercury is equal to 58.5 days on Earth. A day on Mars takes 24 hours and 39 minutes on Earth. A day on Venus is 243 Earth days and a day on Jupiter is equal to 9.9 Earth hours.
What does the ground on Jupiter feel like?
1- isn't Jupiter made of gas?
[first answer]
--------------------------------------
[second answer]
2- I guess that the core of the planet has to be harder than its atmos. If it has gravity, it then has to have something solid in the middle. Or if it is liquid, then, we couldn't quite feel its ground or either reach it.. lol...
[ Now, i wonder if something ever managed to survive inside of this gas haze:P Something under the ground if it has any...
I'm thinking architecture as, if we get on earth an atmos becoming just as Jupiter, we'll have to rethink our survival method O_O (I mean, they all say that earth will become a hell land soon) (globe warming) ... So lets think.. If i had to live on Jupiter... What would i do to survive... lol ]

3- (edit here)
How far is Jupiter's axis tilted?
Only 3.13 degrees. Of the planets, only Mercury has a smaller axial tilt.
What is Jupiters highest temperature?
The average surface temperature of Jupiter is around -234 degrees Fahrenheit. This means that the temperature of Jupiter is much colder than Earth because of the planet's distance from the sun.
What is the average temperature on the surface of Jupiter?
We do not know what the surface temperature may be as we can only see the top of the cloud layer which is in the range of -110 in degrees Celsius to -220 degrees C.
What is known is that Jupiter emits more heat than it absorbs from the sun.
What is the below atmosphere of Jupiter?
Jupiter is believed to be almost entirely atmosphere. It is hypothesized that Jupiter has a small core of ice, rock, and metals. Between the upper atmosphere of clouds and the core there are layers of compressed hydrogen gas and liquid metallic hydrogen.
Jupiter is thought to have formed around 4.5 billion years ago from the gas and dust present in the early solar system. It likely began as a solid core that quickly accumulated gas from the surrounding disk of material, eventually growing into the massive gas giant we see today.
The small-angle formula is θ = 2 * arctan(d / 2D), where θ is the angular diameter, d is the physical diameter, and D is the distance from the observer. When Mars is closest to Earth, its angular diameter is around 25 arcseconds. This is smaller compared to the maximum angular diameter of Jupiter, which can reach up to around 49 arcseconds due to its larger physical size.
Was Jupiter the planet visited by the Galileo probe in?
Yes, the Galileo probe was sent to study Jupiter. It arrived at Jupiter in 1995 and spent eight years studying the planet, its moons, and its magnetosphere before its mission ended in 2003.
When the moon appear half moon?
A half moon appears when only half of the moon's illuminated side is visible from Earth. This occurs when the moon is at a 90-degree angle relative to the Earth and the sun, known as the first quarter or third quarter moon.
