 Jupiter is the 5th planet from the sun.
 It is located between Mars and Saturn.
 Jupiter is 483,600,000 miles from the sun.
Rotation
 Jupiter takes 9.8 hours to rotate on its own axis.
 It take Jupiter 4380 days to travel around the
sun.
Size
 Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system.
 Jupiter is 240 lbs in size.
 The volume of Jupiter is 1.43128×1015 km³ .
Gravity
 On Jupiter you would experience 2.5 more
gravity than Earth.
.
Orbit
 It takes Jupiter about 11 years to orbit its axis.
 Though, it takes 1186 years to orbit the sun.
Atmosphere
 Jupiter is 82% hydrogen.
 18% helium thick.
 Most of its atmosphere is molecular compounds,
ammonia, methane, molecular hydrogen and
water.
Temperature
 At the cloud tops, the temperature of Jupiter is
thought to be 145 degrees C.
 As you descend into the planet, temperatures
increase. When the pressure of the
atmosphere is about 2.5 times what we have
on Earth, the temperatures are about 20
degrees C.
Appearance and Composition
 Jupiter is fully gas, there is no surface.
 The outer mantle is liquid hydrogen and the
inner mantle is liquid metallic hydrogen.
 At the center of the planet is a molten rock core
which is many times bigger and more massive
than the entire Earth.
Moons and Rings
 Jupiter has a least 63 moons.
 The Galilean Moons are 4 of them.
 The rings of Jupiter are broken into four
separate components: halo ring, main ring,
Amalthea gossamer ring, and Thebe gossamer
ring.
Living
 You can not at all live on Jupiter.
 One, because its all gas, two it has no surface.
 Also, the atmosphere is made up of extremely
poisonous gases.
 Also, that the intense gravity on Jupiter would
probably squash humans flat.
Cool Facts
 Jupiter's magnetic field is 14 times as strong as
Earth.
 Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in the Solar
System.
 Jupiter can't ever become a star.
