6
Planet Measurements Mass- 1.898x1027 kg
Volume- 1,431,281,810,739,360 km3 Density g/cm3 Jupiter would sink because its density is more than 1 Gravity m/s2
7
Orbit and Rotation It takes years and 4,332 days to orbit the sun It takes every 9.9 hours to rotate on its axis
8
Atmosphere Jupiter has a thick atmosphere made of helium and hydrogen. Its atmosphere is a great red spot
9
Temperature It ranges from about – 190°F or -128°C for a visible surface to 9°F at lower cloud level some regions reach 40°F. Jupiter is a lot colder than Earth and Florida
10
Composition/ Appearance
Jupiter is a gas giant Jupiter’s internal composition is liquid hydrogen, metal elements Jupiter is covered with thick red brown, yellow and white clouds. The atmosphere is red and is large
11
Weather The weather is large. Storms that grow to cover thousands of km within hours. Wind whipping the clouds at 360 kph and storms that last for hundreds of years
12
Rings Discovered by NASH’s voyager 1 in They do not reflect a lot of sunlight they receive. There are 3 rings of Jupiter. Halo ring- faint wide ring Main ring- thin ring Gossamer ring- faint wide ring
13
Moons There are 63 moons- they were discovered from there are 67 including the 4 large moons known as the Galilean satellites
14
Water Yes, there is water, small amounts. It is in the form of water vapor in the cloud tops
15
What would happen to a human on Jupiter?
You would be crushed my Jupiter’s gravity, poisoned by the atmosphere and the surface would absorb you
16
Interesting Fact Jupiter only takes 10 hours to complete to a full rotation on its axis. The planet has flattened out because it spins so fast
