2. What is Jupiter….
Jupiter is the fifth planet from
the Sun and the largest planet
in the Solar System.It is a gas
giant with mass one-
thousandth of that of the Sun
but is two and a half times the
mass of all the other planets in
the Solar System combined.

3. Temperature of Jupiter
Jupiter is hot, massive, and contains plenty of
hydrogen. The temperature is thought to be -
145 degrees C. The temperature of the core is
different than the upper atmosphere, and so
on. Further and hydrogen becomes hot enough
to turn into a liquid and the temperature is
thought to be over 9,700 C. At the planet’s core
scientists think that the temperatures could be
as high as 35,500 C.

4. Where is jupiter
Jupiter is the fifth planet from
the sun and is the second
superior planet with and orbit
outside the earths. It is the
first planet beyond the
asteroid belt and is 7.4
hundred million kilometres
from the sun

5. How big is jupiter
Jupiter has a radius of 69,911km and a mass 1.898E27kg
The volume of jupiter is 1.43128x1015 . That’s enough to fit
1312 planets the size of earth and still have room left.

6. The big red spot
The Great Red Spot is a great anti-cyclonic
(high pressure) storm akin to a hurricane
on Earth, but it is enormous (three Earths
would fit within its boundaries). it is 400
years old that humans have observed it
through telescopes.

7. Facts about Jupiter..
- The clouds on jupiter is only 50 km thick.
- Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in the solar system.
- Jupiter has 63 moons
- You can see jupiter from your eyes
- There are possibility of life on Jupiter
- Jupiter have been visited for 7 times by the spacecraft from Earth
- If we were able to see Jupiter's radiation belt from Earth, Jupiter would
appear as big as the Sun.
- Jupiter's gravity is used to catapult space-craft on deep space missions
further away. This is how the Voyager missions of 1975 managed to

8. Orbit and Rotation
-Average distance from the sun: 483,682,810 miles
(778,412,020 km). By comparison: 5.203 times that of
Earth
- Jupiter travels at 47,002 km/h through its orbit.
