How far from is Jupiter from the sun?
Because the orbit of Jupiter around the sun is not a perfect circle, its distance from the sun depends on where it is in its orbit.
At Perihelion(closest point in the orbit to the Sun): 740,573,600 km / 4.95 AU / 460,171,100 miles
At aphelion (farthest point in the orbit to the Sun): 816,520,800 km / 5.458 AU / 507,304,400 miles
The semimajor axis of its orbit is: 778,547,200 km / 5.2 AU / 483,711,400 miles
Its average distance from the sun is 5.2 AU (5.2 times the average earth/sun distance) or about 43.3 light-minutes.
What did the discovery of Jupiter's moons show astronomers?
The largest four of Jupiter's moon were discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610. The discovery was proof of celestial bodies which did not orbit the Earth, supporting the Copernican model of the universe in which the Earth was not the centre. Eventually leading to the model of the Solar System we have today. In short: The discovery of Jupiter's moons showed astronomers that not every thing in the sky orbited the Earth. (Or indeed the Sun)
What is jupiters geosphere like?
Mars' geosphere (or lithosphere) is dry, cold and arid.
Like the Earth's lithosphere, the Martian lithosphere is the not-so-rigid part of the crust of Mars which is cooler than the interior of Mars somewhat like the foam on top of a cup of hot cocoa. On Earth, the lithosphere can be pushed in response to the warmth of the Earth. Warm magma rises to the very surface and pushes the cooler, rocky lithosphere aside. The lithosphere then subducts, melts, and becomes part of the warm rising magma again. Thus on Earth, the recycling of the lithosphere keeps the lithosphere from becoming too thick.
Unlike the Earth, the rocky material which comprises the lithosphere of Mars does not contain enough trapped water to allow the rocky material to slide against each other. Since portions of the rocky material cannot slide against each other, the lithosphere cannot make way for hot, rising magma from the interior of Mars. Thus the lithosphere stays in place and thickens by cooling gradually. So it is that Mars does not have plates moving on the surface.
How is time calculated on other planets?
Time is a universal thing, it is always there it is always progressing at the same rate never moving backwards, time may be defined as anything. Before 1960 it was defined as a 'solar day', and a second was defined to be (1/60)*(1/60)*(1/24) of a solar day, then in 1967 we changed to the atomic clock which measures vibrations of cesium atoms, now one second is defined to be : 9192631770 times the period of vibration of radiation from the cesium-133 atom.
like i said time may be defined by anything
How many different gases does Jupiter have?
Jupiter's atmosphere is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, but it also contains trace amounts of methane, ammonia, water vapor, and other gases. Overall, Jupiter's atmosphere is made up of at least 24 different gases.
Will a spacecraft visit Jupiter in the future?
NASA has long term plans that include the exploration of Jupiter and its moons, and possibly a manned landing on one of the moons. A manned landing on Jupiter is not possible with our current level of technology.
How many comets hit Jupiter per year?
The comets orbiting Jupitor in the Kuiper Belt are controlled by Jupiters gravity pull. It was thought that Jupitor would keep Earth safe from these many massive comets but it is now known that Jupitor does not always cross the path of them and they get out of the orbit as was the case with Showemaker Levy-9.
How did Galileo use the four moons of Jupiter?
The four moons were discovered sometime between 1609 and 1610 when Galileo made improvements to his telescope, which enabled him to observe celestial bodies more distinctly than had ever been possible before.
As a result of improvements Galileo Galilei made to the telescope, with a magnifying capability of 20×, he was able to see celestial bodies more distinctly than was ever possible before. This allowed Galilei to discover sometime between December 1609 and January 1610 what came to be known as the Galilean moons.

What is the distance from the sun compared to Jupiter?
Jupiter is 483.6 million miles (778.3 million km) away from the Sun.
(The given figure is the average distance)
Why is there a warm spot on your wall?
A warm spot on a wall could indicate that there is insulation or a wiring issue behind the wall causing heat to dissipate unevenly. It could also be due to a nearby heating source or direct sunlight hitting that spot. It's recommended to investigate further to determine the exact cause and address any potential safety issues.
The Sun is the Sun and therefore the is no distance between it and itself.
What is the mass of a 20g weight on Jupiter and the moon?
The weight of an object remains the same regardless of its location, but its mass would be different due to the different gravitational forces on Jupiter and the Moon. On Jupiter, the mass would be about 7.49 times greater than on Earth, and on the Moon, it would be about 1/6th of the mass on Earth.
What effect does Jupiter have on Gemini?
Generally the sign modifies the expression of the planet transiting through it. So Jupiter in the sign Gemini imparts a love of knowledge and conversation. The native tends to know a little about a varied group of subjects. Siblings may be many or play a significant role in the native's life. They are prone to many short journeys. Usually the schooling in early life was very good.
What is your weight on planet Jupiter if your weight on earth is 42kg?
If you weighed 42kg on Earth, you would weigh 99.2kg on Jupiter.
EDIT:
Actually, this is not correct, since kg is a unit of mass. Mass would be the same in both locations. 42kg would be 42kg.
The multiplier for weight though, is about 2.35. If you had a mass of 42kg, you would *weigh* about 412 N. Your WEIGHT on Jupiter would then be about 967 N.
How does the heat Jupiter radiates compare to the energy it receives from the Sun?
Jupiter radiates about 1.6 times more energy than it receives from the Sun. This excess heat is leftover from Jupiter's formation and helps to sustain its atmosphere and powerful weather systems.
Is Jupiter outside the milky way galaxy?
No. The milky way galaxy consists of our solar system and many other solar systems. Since Jupiter is part of our solar system, you can safely conclude that it is indeed a part of this Galaxy.
What is Jupiter's surface gravity strength?
Jupiter's surface gravity strength is about 24.79 m/s², which is 2.53 times the strength of Earth's surface gravity. This means that an object on Jupiter's surface would weigh 2.53 times more than it would on Earth.
How long does it take astronots to get to jupiter?
It would take astronauts several years to reach Jupiter using current spacecraft technology. The exact duration would depend on the type of mission, trajectory, and spacecraft speed.
In which direction does Jupiter rotate north to south south to north west to east east to west?
It depends on the longitude and it is not a solid planet [its made of gas] so the clouds
pretty much control the rotation
Why do scientist think Io might have the conditions for life to develop?
From http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/01/et-life/:
Jupiter's moon Io is one of the few solar system moons to support an atmosphere, and it contains complex chemicals promising for life. Volcanism on the moon also makes it warmer than many others - another good sign. Io is still a long shot, though, because its location inside Jupiter's magnetic field means it is constantly being pelted with lethal radiation. Its violent surface also seems inhospitable, with temperatures often too cold to support life, as well as molten hot spots that are equally deadly.
Fordyce spots are typically painless and do not cause any discomfort. They are considered a normal variation in the skin and are harmless. If you experience any pain or discomfort in the genital area, it is important to consult a healthcare provider for an accurate diagnosis.
Assuming it is really 3 times as much (I did not look it up), on Earth, the gravitation is approximately 10 Newton / kilogram; on Jupiter it would be 30 Newton / Kilogram. Multiply this by 0.4 kg., and you get a weight of 12 Newton.
When did Aristotle discover that Jupiter moons and that there where mountains on the moon?
Aristotle did not discover the moons of Jupiter or mountains on the moon. The discovery of Jupiter's moons was made by Galileo Galilei in 1610. Mountains on the moon were observed by Galileo as well, using his telescope in the early 17th century. Aristotle lived in ancient Greece in the 4th century BC and did not have access to the technology needed for these astronomical observations.
From the spelling and general erudition of the question, we must assume, although it's not clearly stated, that the 75 N is the person's weight on earth.
Weight (gravitational force) is directly proportional to the local acceleration of gravity.
If the gravitational force is 75 N on earth, and the gravitational acceleration is increased by a factor of 2.5, then the new gravitational force is also 2.5 times as great = (75 x 2.5) = 187.5 Newtons.
By the way, this guy has to be the Eddie Arcaro among astronauts, obviously selected for the Jupiter mission because of his extremely economical use of rocket fuel on the way.
The guy weighs 75 Newton = a little less than 17 pounds !
How far is Jupiters distance from the sun?
Jupiter's average distance from the Sun is about 484 million miles (778 million kilometers). The distance between Jupiter and the Sun can vary due to its elliptical orbit, with the closest approach (perihelion) being about 460 million miles and the farthest point (aphelion) around 508 million miles.
