1 For president Done by Devante, Davon, Malik, and Tyrell.

2 Facts about Jupiter Jupiter has a mass 318 times greater than the Earth's and a diameter that is 11 times larger. Jupiter rotates faster than any planet in the Solar System. It rotates so quickly that the days are only 10 hours long. Unlike other planets, Jupiter sends out a strong radio radiation that can be detected on Earth. In 1994, pieces of a comet called shoemaker-Levy 9 broke apart and crashed into Jupiter. This left patches in Jupiter's atmosphere that lasted for many months.

3 More information Jupiter's atmosphere is composed of about 90% hydrogen and 10 % helium. There are only minute traces (0.07%) of methane (CH 3 ), water, ammonia, and rock dust. The outer mantle is liquid hydrogen; the inner mantle is liquid metallic hydrogen.

4 NASA research missions (Past) Past Missions Cassini - NASA/ESA Mission to Saturn via Jupiter Galileo Orbiter - NASA Mission to Jupiter Galileo Probe - NASA Mission to Jupiter Voyager 1 - NASA Mission to Jupiter and Saturn Voyager 2 - NASA Mission to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and beyond Ulysses - NASA/ESA Mission to study the solar wind via Jupiter Pioneer 10 - NASA Jupiter flyby (1973) Pioneer 11 - NASA Jupiter flyby (1974)

5 NASA research mission (Future) Future Missions Jupiter Icy Moons Orbiter (JIMO) - NASA Proposed Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto Orbiter (2015) Juno - NASA New Frontiers Jupiter Polar Orbiter under study

6 Tilt, year, and day of Jupiter Day is 10 hours long. Its tilt is 3.13°. It doesn’t have seasons. One year on Jupiter is 11.86 Earth years.

7 Jupiter's moons Jupiter has 63 confirmed moons!!

8 Special Features The Great Red Spot is one of Jupiter's many features. Jupiter also have the most moons of any other planet.
