Is the largest planets in the solar system. It’s
the fifth planets from the sun. Jupiter has a
total radius of neatly 70,000 kilometers. Jupiter
overall size is 318 times greater than that of
the Earth and Jupiter is 2.5 times larger than all
of the other planets in the solar system
combined.

At the center is a core of rock many times the
mass of Earth. But the bulk of the planet is a
thick gaseous murk that appears smeared
through a telescope because the planet moves
so rapidly beneath.


Jupiter has thin, barely
perceptible rings and least 16
satelites.

The four largest moons – lo,
Europa, Ganymede and
Callisto are called the Galilean
moons

They orbit in the same plane
and are all visible in telescope.

Jupiter’s most familiar feature is swirling mass of clouds that
are higher and cooler than surrounding ones. Called the Great
Red Spot. It has been liked to great hurricane and is caused by
tremendous winds that develop above the rapidly spinning
planet. Winds blow counterclockwise around this disturbance
at about 250 miles per hour. Hurricanes on earth rarely
generate winds over 180 miles an hour

The Red Spot is twice the size of Earth and has been raging for
at least 300 years. It one if several storm on Jupiter.
Red Spot

Is composed of about 90% hydrogen and 10%
helium gas, including a small rock core that is
encompassed by metallic and liquid hydrogen
gas.

The planet has 63 discovered moons on record.

The four largest of these moons, lo, Europa,
Ganymede and Callisto, are commonly
referred to as the Galilean Moons.

Can easily be seen from earth with a telescope
or even the naked eye under especially
condition

Jupiter takes about 12 years to orbit the
sun and rotates in about 10 hours. This
short Jupiter “day” is amazing since the
planet is roughly 11 earth diameters wide.
