1 Jupiter: The Giant King

2 Jupiter Bio/Facts Diameter: 139,822 km Relative Mass (Earth = 1): 317.8 Density (kg/m 3 ): 1330 Distance from Sun (AU): 5.2 Length of Day: 9.9 hours Length of Year: 4331 days Mean Temp: -166⁰F

3 Atmosphere Mostly hydrogen and helium in gas and liquid form Below liquid Hydrogen is a layer of liquid metallic hydrogen (properties of both liquid and solid only possible under extreme pressure) Models suggest Jupiter might have Earth-sized solid core

4

5 Moons: Jupiter has over 60 recorded moons!!! The 4 largest (Galilean Moons) are Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto Io: Volcanic eruptions

6 More Moons! Europa: Gravitational heating may have meltedice and have subsurface ocean (liquid water!) Ganymede: Largest moon in solar system

9 Rings Jupiter has faint rings of dust (not spectacular like Saturn…)

10 Why are there huge bands of clouds?
