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. Jupiter has thin, barely perceptible rings and least 16 satelites. The four largest moons – lo, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto are called the Galilean moons 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 Jupiter’s most familiar feature is swirling mass of clouds that are higher and cooler than surrounding ones.

Is composed of about 90% hydrogen and 10% helium gas, including a small rock core that is encompassed by metallic and liquid hydrogen gas.

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.
