Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system. Born from primordial stardust, 4.5 billion years ago, Jupiter was the solar system first planet. And much like it namesake, the king of the ancient roman gods, Jupiter was destined for greatness. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun, and the largest planet in the solar system. At approximately 11 Earths wide, Jupiter has twice the amount of mass as the other planet put together. But unlike Earth and the three other terrestrial world, Jupiter has not solid surface. It may not even have a traditionally solid core.
What's inside Jupiter?
This giant planet may have a dense, liquid center and surrounded by a worldwide ocean of hydrogen and Helium Gases.
Composition:-
•75% HYDROGEN
•24% HELIUM
•<1% OTHER LIKE
•AMMONIA
•METHANE
•WATER
Jupiter's gassiest composition can be observed in its atmosphere. About 44 miles thick the atmosphere is a canvas of stripes and storms churning across the Giant Planet. Their colors between shades of whites, yellows ,red and Browns all caused by the different chemical make up of each area. Probably the most iconic feature of Jupiter is a crimson brown storm that's been raging for over
300 years, The great red spot. It's a Giant swirling collection of clouds with wind speeds of up to 400 miles per hour at least two and half times faster than category five Hurricanes.
Floating 100 of miles above the storms of Jupiter are about 79 moons the most of the eight known planets. The four largest moon were discovered by Galileo in 1610. Called the Galilean Satellites, they include: IO the most volcanically active celestial body in the solar system. Ganymede the solar system's largest Moon, Even larger than the planet Mercury and Callisto and Europa which along with Ganymede may contain oceans of liquid water underneath their crusts. Jupiter large collection of Moons is only made possible by the planet massive size and gravitational pull the strongest of all the planets in the solar system.
The End Notes
This incredible gravity also influence the sizes of the seven other planets. If you know more about Jupiter than leave comment in the comment section below and give interesting question to us. If your question is "Life is possible in Jupiter" than my answer is always "No" because it's gravitational force is low and it's surface is full of dangerous oxides.
