Jupiter is 90000 miles in diameter. It is 10 times the size of the earth
... Since Jupiter is a gas planet, it doesn't have a surface. This means that nothing can land on the planet because there is nothing solid to land on. The clouds that make up Jupiter are swirling around the planet, by winds that average over 322 kilometers. The winds create an pattern of storms.. So ...

Orrery
An orrery is a mechanical model of the solar system that illustrates or predicts the relative positions and motions of the planets and moons, usually according to the heliocentric model. It may also represent the relative sizes of these bodies; but since accurate scaling is often not practical due to the actual large ratio differences, a subdued approximation may be used instead. Though the Greeks had working planetaria, the first orrery that was a planetarium of the modern era was produced in 1704, and one was presented to Charles Boyle, 4th Earl of Orrery — whence came the name. They are typically driven by a clockwork mechanism with a globe representing the Sun at the centre, and with a planet at the end of each of the arms.
