•While viewing Jupiter, he discovered four satellites orbiting around the planet
Jupiter was the chief of the gods for the Romans, the way Zeus was for the Greeks
Fifth Planet from the Sun; largest Planet in the Solar System
The Italian scientist, Galileo was the first astronomer to view Jupiter through a telescope
In May 2002, astronomers announced an additional 11 moons for Planet Jupiter

I’m originally 100 lbs on
Earth, but now I’m 250!
It takes Jupiter 9 hours, 55
minutes to orbit around it’s own
axis.
Rotation around Sun:
12 YEARS

Distance from Sun: 483 1/2 million miles
Distance from Earth:
390,682,810 miles

Diameter: 142,800 km (Earth's diameter is 12,800 km)
Mass: 1.8986×1027 kg (317.8 Earths)
Surface area: 6.14×1010 km2 (120.5 times the surface area of
Earth)
The mass of Jupiter is 2.5 times larger than
all of the planet’s masses combined.

On the cloud tops of
Jupiter, the temperature
is about -145 degrees C.At the
center, it is 35,700
degrees C.
At night, the cloud
tops are below -150
degrees C.
Since Jupiter is a gas giant, it is fairly difficult to quantify the exact temps.

•Since Jupiter is a gas planet, there is no solid surface.
•If one stepped onto the planet, he would sink into it and eventually
get crushed by the massive increase in pressure
Jupiter's composition is nearly an exact copy of the Sun. There is about 82 %
hydrogen, 18 % helium and traces of nearly all other
elements.

•The atmosphere appears as alternating bands of light regions,
called zones, and dark regions called belts, that run parallel to the equator.
•The zones are higher in altitude than the belts, and are correspondingly
lower in temperature.
• The zones are higher in altitude than the belts, and are
correspondingly lower in temperature.

•Jupiter has 63 confirmed moons
•The most massive of them, the four Galilean Moons, were discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei and were the first objects found to orbit a body that
was neither Earth nor the Sun
•They are the largest of the many moons of Jupiter and derive their
names from the lovers of Zeus: Io, Europa , Ganymede and Callisto
MOOOONS!!

Jupiter has no solid rock surface. One theory pictures a gradual transition
from the outer ammonia clouds to
a thick layer of frozen gases and
finally to a liquid or solid hydrogen
mantle. Beneath that Jupiter probably has a core of rocky
material with a mass 10–15 times that of
the earth

•clouds associated with the Spot appear to be about 8 km above neighboring cloud tops
• The Great Red Spot is a great anti-cyclonic (high pressure) storm like a hurricane on Earth
• the rotation is counterclockwise
• color is actually pink to orange
• three Earths would fit in it with room to spare.

You wouldn’t be able to walk on Jupiter, since there is no solid surface.
You’d fall right through the
ammonia clouds, and dive towards
the center.
You would eventually
explode under all of the immense
pressure
There is a possibility of producing a
space station that could orbit
around Jupiter, since
Jupiter’s magnetic field could give the space station
enough energy.

Life on Jupiter would look very cloudy because of all the gases that are on the
planet.
The gases are which make up the atmosphere.
The weather would have many storms. But in the
night you will see the light from Jupiter's many
moons.
