Jupiter.
The symbol for
Jupiter is shaped
like the number
four.
Discovery of Jupiter
The ancients discovered the planet Jupiter, when
they discovered it is unknown.
Distances
Jupiter is the fifth plant from the sun, it follows
Mercury, Venue, Earth, and Mars.
It is 770,000,000
miles away from the
sun.
It is 620,000,000
miles away from
Earth.
Measurements
Mass:1.8981327
Volume:1,431,281,810,73,360 km3
Density:1.326 g/cm3
It would sink in water because the density of
water is 1.00 and it is heavier.
Gravity: 24.79 m/s2
Orbit and Rotation
It takes 4,332.59 days for Jupiter to orbit the
sun.
It takes 9 hours
and 55 minutes
for Jupiter to rotate
once on its axis.
Atmosphere/ Temperature
Hydrogen and Helium are the two main components of Jupiter’s
atmosphere.
Methane is also found in a trace amount.
Temperatures range from -128 degrees
Celsius to 4 degrees Celsius. It is
extremely cold compared to Earth and
especially cold to Florida.
Composition
Jupiter is a gas giant and it is mostly composed
of Hydrogen Helium . Its internals are liquid.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Appearance
Jupiter is an extremely large planet that is
considered a gas giant. The great Red Giant
Spot is on the surface of Jupiter. There are
different colored bands on Jupiter as well.
Weather
There is a storm on the surface of Jupiter and it
is located close to the middle.
Rings
Jupiter has three rings. They are only visible
when Jupiter passes directly in front of the
sun. They are made of small rocks and dust,
and they are dark in color.
Moons
Jupiter has 67 known moons, and some of the
moons were discovered by Galileo using a
telescope.
Water
Deep in the atmosphere the pressure makes
hydrogen and oxygen into water. This causes
to create the largest ocean in the universe.
Humans and Jupiter
The temperature would kill the a human on
Jupiter.
The pressure could also kill them as well.
Special fact
Jupiter has a storm on its surface that has been
predicted to be there for over 300 years. It is
called “The Eye of Jupiter”.
