Jupiter????? What is the climate of Jupiter

How did the ancients know that Jupiter, and not Saturn or Venus, was the largest planet in the solar system? Jupiter is the third brightest object in the night sky after the Moon and Venus. How did the ancients know that Jupiter was the largest planet? Jupiter is the king of the Gods according to mythology. Saturn has a larger orbit. Why didn't they make Saturn the king of the Gods? Why is the planet Jupiter considered the king of the Gods. Why did they give that planet the name Jupiter, which means king of the Gods? Did the ancients discover that Jupiter was the largest planet? How did they discover that Jupiter was the largest planet?

How come Jupiter is a gas planet but it have so many moons? If jupiter is a gas planet then why it have moons for, there nothing living on jupiter but maybe we can live on europa. It seems that Europa should be the planet and Jupiter be the moon. We don't need these other planets bc they don't have no life to it.

How deep down into Jupiter do you have to go to reach a phase change? How deep do you have to go into Jupiter before the pressure is great enough that you would reach a liquid or solid?

How would you describe what jupiter Experiences as far as seasons. how long and variable are they? Jupiter's spin axis is nearly perpendicular to its orbital plane. Jupitar takes about 12 years to orbit the sun, and it spins (about) once every 10 hours. Given this, describe what Jupiter experiences as far as seasons go are concerned. How long are they? How variable are they?

Can Venus and Jupiter lessen the vindictive nature of the Scorpio Sun? I have Jupiter and Venus conjunct each other and both conjunct my Sun in Scorpio . Would these conjuncts make me less vindictive than a typical Scorpio? Thanks in advance.

How long does it take for light to get from the sun to jupiter? Light travels at about 186,000 miles per second. Jupiter is about 483,000,000 miles from the sun. How long does it take for light to get from the sun to jupiter?

How would life be different if Earth was the size of Jupiter? Just so you know, 300 Earths can easily fit inside of Jupiter. So tell me, how would life be different? Let's say we have the same properties if Earth was the size of Jupiter- 70% ocean and 30% land.

How can you make your bonsai jupiter tree grow quicker? How can you make your bonsai jupiter tree grow quicker? please tell me how i can make it grow quicker. (can I use merical grow.)

What are some possible experiments one can do to learn more about Jupiter? It's for a class and we need to propose certain experiments we can do to learn more about Jupiter. For example metals, weather, the atmosphere, anything. They can be based on past experiments that have been conducted.

How long would it take to become dark on the surface of Jupiter? I takes 486s after the sun suddenly ceases to shine, for the Earth to become dark. How long would it take to become dark on the surface of Jupiter?

Why are the heavy planets like Jupiter and Saturn are found in the middle of our solar system? Why can't Jupiter be in Pluto's orbit for instance? Does gravity play a role on this? And does the position of Earth's orbit contributes the creation of life on the planet?

In what sense are Jupiter and its moons like a miniature solar system? In what sense are Jupiter and its moons like a miniature solar system? How does the density of the Galilean moons vary with increasing distance from Jupiter? Is there a trend to this variation? If so, why?

Why does Jupiter have a magnetic field if it is a gas giant? Aurora (northern /southern lights) are caused by particles hitting a planets magnetic field. The Earth has a magnetic field because it has an iron core. How come Jupiter has a magnetic field if it is a gas giant and contains no iron?

What are the key features of Jupiter’s four Galilean moons? What are the key features of Jupiter’s four Galilean moons? Explain the role of tidal heating and orbital resonances in explaining these features. Sigh...cant find it in the book...so hope someone can figure it out.

PHYSICS help with a simple pendulum getting moved to Jupiter and finding the period? A simple pendulum on earth has a period of 1.00 s where the acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.81 m/s2. The pendulum is then taken to Jupiter, where the acceleration due to gravity is 2.53g. (a) Would its period increase, decrease, or stay the same? (b) Calculate the period of the pendulum on Jupiter. Please explain!

Does Jupiter have a solid surface under its gas and liquid filling the planet? Well, from what i know Jupiter does not have a solid surface. But today i was talking about it and they said there was a solid surface. But i am still not convinced that it has a solid surface. Can any of you explain why it might?

Going on a seven or eight hour trip to Savannah Georgia from jupiter. Any ideas on how to pass the time? We're travelling by car, and I'm with my Girl scout troop. I'm not exactly positive on travelling time, so could anyone tell me the time from Jupiter, FLorida to Savannah? I think we're leaving at six or seven in the morning. I have a nintendo DS with Brain AGe2 on it, so maybe you could suggest some time consuming games.

What is the average cost for a taxi from Palm Beach airport to Jupiter, FL, which is 23 miles away? Trying to estimate the cost for a taxi from PBI to Jupiter, FL, 23 miles away, use a limo type service, or stay in long term parking.

What is difference between a full night on Jupiter and a full night on Earth? I have some homework and the question says: if you could choose between sleeping a full night on Earth or a full night on Jupiter, which one would you pick? Explain reasoning. (think about the Rotation) Thanks for your help :)

How long would it take to get to jupiter at the speed of light? Saying that Jupiter is 4.2 AU from earth, how long would it take to get there if you were to travel at the speed of light? In light-minutes and in regular minutes ( if there's a difference. I'm kindof confused by it all. ) I read on another one that it said like 33 light minutes? So, I'm pretty confused still. XD

On which planets have spacecraft landed? Why would it be difficult to land a spacecraft on Jupiter? The gravity on Mars is about 2/5 that on eARTH,while Jupiter's gravity is 2.6 times greater. How could the gravity affect humans and spacecrafts?

Who has seen the spectacular crescent moon with Venus and Jupiter this evening ? A tight three-way conjunction of Venus, Jupiter and the crescent Moon. The event is visible from all parts of the world, even from light-polluted cities. People in New York and Hong Kong will see it just as clearly as astronomers watching from remote mountaintops. Only cloudy weather or a midnight sun (sorry Antarctica!) can spoil the show. Where are you viewing this event from ?

What is the reason for magnetic field on Jupiter? I read that rotating liquid hydrogen at the core of Jupiter generates Magnetism but I can't get how it does? Magnetic field is generated by movement of charged particles like plasma in earth's core? What is the reason for Jupiter?

how long would it take for a satellite to fly through Jupiter? If Jupiter is a Gas planet then why cant we send something to go through the planet and capture pictuers of it? How long would it take to get thruogh the whole planet?

How do I find the mass of the planet Jupiter? Io, a satellite of Jupiter, has an orbital period of 1.77 days and an orbital radius of 4.22 * 10^-5 km. From these data, determine the mass of Jupiter. How would I go about doing this. Don't tell me the answer, just the process, please.

what is the average temperature on jupiter? research project. cant find these: average temperature on jupiter? average temperature of the water? how far away in miles? how big is it? how many days to rotate and revolve? please dont use wikipedia, my teacher says most things are untrue.

What night this month is best for viewing Jupiter? Jupiter does'nt appear to be so near as previous years. I want to be able to have a close up look at the big red spot.

What is the reason of excess heating at Jupiter and Saturn? I heared Saturn and Jupiter radiats more enegy than it absorbs from the Sun because of thier internal enegy sorce. (but different reason.) Could you tell me the reason of this excess heating?

Why does Jupiter have a giant spot on the planet? I rid that the spot of Jupiter is much bigger than Earth, but how did the spot get there?

What is the radiation level at the surface of Jupiter? Jupiter has a large and strong magnetosphere. From my readings it looks like there is little to no radiation inside the magnetopause. What I'd like to find out is what the radiation level, in rads/hour is as at the Jovian surface (as defined by the radius at which the pressure is 1 atm). Even better would be the radiation level in rads/hour as a function of distance, say in the equitorial plane. Any websites with the information would be welcome too.

Could an undiscovered planet between the sizes of Mercury and Earth be in orbit between Jupiter and Saturn? How about between Jupiter, and Neptune? The distance between the Sun and Jupiter is about 5AU. The distance between Jupiter and Saturn is about the same. There are 4 planets and an asteroid belt between the Sun, and Jupiter, why are the no subtantial bodies between Jupiter and Saturn?

What would you see if you flew through Jupiter? We call Jupiter a "gas giant" and I think that often invokes a mental image of a giant sphere of homogenous gas floating through space. Of course, the reality must be much more complex. Given the competing forces of pressure and friction-generated heat, I was wondering if there was a solid or liquid surface on Jupiter or if it was gas throughout. Does some of the gas turn to solid ice? Is there a solid center with a huge atmosphere? Does the core's heat overcome the gravatational pressure to form gas, or does the pressure create a solid? Basically, if I were in a vessel passing from one side of Jupiter to the other through the center, what would my journey be like? What forms of matter would I encounter?

Why do Uranus and Neptune have blue methane clouds but Jupiter and Saturn do not? a. Methane did not exist in the solar nebula at the radii of Jupiter and Saturn when the planets formed. b. Methane reacts with the abundant ammonia clouds in Jupiter and Saturn. c. Methane does not condense into ice in the warmer atmospheric temperatures of Jupiter and Saturn. d. The greater gravitational force of Jupiter and Saturn prevents the methane from rising to the upper edges of the atmosphere. e. The relatively slow rotation of Uranus and Neptune allows methane to migrate to higher levels in the atmosphere and condense into clouds.

Is it theoritcally possible for someone to stand on Jupiter? The outer plantes are referred to as gaseous planets. Does this simply mean there is a terrestial surface with a lot of different gases in the atmosphere, or does it mean that there is no surface? In other words, if not for all the harmful gases and other inhospitable conditions, would it be possible for a human to stand on Jupiter or any of the outer planets? I know this probably a basic question, but others I have asked did not know the answer. Thank you!

Why is Jupiter disimilar to Saturn although their chemical composition is same? Both the gas giant planets jupiter and saturn comprise of hydrogen and helium and yet unlike jupiter saturn doesnt have colour patterns.

What kinds of effects that Earth would have if Jupiter were a star instead of a planet? I've heard that Jupiter radiates 3 times as much energy as it receives from the Sun. This means that the planet has a great internal source of energy. Some astronomers think of Jupiter as a brown dwarf, or a star that failed, because of its small mass. That is, its mass was too small to produce the internal temperatures needed to set off the nuclear reactions that occur inside a star. However, if Jupiter were 100 times bigger that it is now, then it would be a star instead of a planet. Our solar system would have been a binary star system. I do know that Earth would be bathed with nearly continuous sunlight as the Sun and Jupiter would be on both sides of the planet. But what else things would be if Jupiter were a star? How is that going to effect Earth's life? Would humanity survive as they do in reality, or something else completely different? What would become the rest of our solar system? I think that an alternate Jupiter is a cool sci-fi story that I would write for myself!

Is Jupiter getting bigger or getting smaller or staying the same? I know that Jupiter is made entirely of gas and creates it's own energy but is it growing or shrinking?

Who is the first astronaut to the Jupiter? I read a science book and it ask a IQ question and it says, "Who is the first astronaut to the Jupiter".

what would happen if we shot a nuke into jupiter? the trigger would have to be pressure sensative so that when it becomes a given weight from the atmospheric pressure the bomb explodes. suppose we built a really big atomic bomb, bigger than ever made. and just launched it into a huge ball of gas consisting of mostly hydrogen? what happens when an H-bomb goes off inside a big ball of hydrogen? can we start a chain fussion reaction causing jupiter to become a new tiny star? wouldn't that be cool?

What is the quickest gravity assist to Jupiter without considering fuel? I am looking for the quickest way to get to Jupiter. Assume that there are people actually going there. And another assumption is that the space ship will be built in orbit, so they might have a lot more fuel than from a normal Earth launch. I am looking for ideas and also for resources for this kind of assist. I am looking for something shorter than the VEEGA or the VVEJGA since they are too slow and are more concerned about saving fuel. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

Is Jupiter A Good Brand of Clarinet? I Have a plastic clarinet from jupiter.

What r the names of the satellites of Jupiter first discovered & who discovered them? What r the names of the satellites of Jupiter first discovered & who discovered them?

Does Jupiter have a summer and winter temprature or is it the same year round? If it does have 2 different ones can you please tell me! Im talking about the planet not Jupiter, Florida!!

What are some interesting or strange facts about Jupiter? I just need any weird or interesting facts about Jupiter, or its moons.

Why does Jupiter have bands of colour rather than being one unified colour? When you see a picture of the planet Jupiter, you see bands of colour, the red spot etc. But if the planet outter is mainly gas, why hasn't the gas mixed completely and left the planet appearing as a single colour? If I took several colours of paint and mixed them, you'll see colour swirles, but eventually I'll be left with one colour. Ok, Jupiter is a very large planet, but surely over millions of years the colours should have murged?

What do you know about jupiter and what r sum good websites i could that would tell me stuff about jupiter? and what r sum good websites i could that would tell me stuff about jupiter

I Personally have 2 Planets in Virgo - Jupiter and Pluto . what will it mean with the saturn in Virgo transit? Because I Have jupiter in virgo ( will this mean a total reversal of Fortune for me personally in my life as far as staurn and Limitations are concerned ) and What exactly does it mean for an entire Generation with those in pluto in virgo ??? Please help .

What is the probable origin of the asteroids between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter? a. They are probably the remains of a planet that was gravitationally broken up after formation b. Asteroids are primarily ice clumps that were not incorporated into planets c. A planet failed to form between Mars and Jupiter and the asteroids are the remains d. The asteroids are the remains of two planets that collided and were annihilated, forming asteroids

Is a Jupiter 869SG too good to be true? I'm majoring in music in the fall as a freshman and I need help finding a Alto Sax. I thought about a Series 2 Selmer but the price is soooo expensive. I also found a Jupiter 869SG. it seems the same, but alot cheaper and like I said, too good to be true. So please tell me, is the Jupiter 869SG a good Sax and is it a Professional and do you recomend it? Thankyou!

How long does it take to get to Jonathan Dickonson State Park Jupiter FL from Boca Raton FL? Coming from Boca Raton FL how long would it take to get to Jonathan Dickson State Park in Jupiter FL? Thanks.

How many minutes are there in one week on Jupiter? On the planet Jupiter, one day is equal yo 9.925 hours on Earth.

If Jupiter contains mostly hydrogen and helium, why no nuclear reaction? The atmosphere in Jupiter is very deep, perhaps comprising the whole planet, and is somewhat like the Sun. It is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, with small amounts of methane, ammonia, water vapor and other compounds. At great depths within Jupiter, the pressure is so great that the hydrogen atoms are broken up and the electrons are freed so that the resulting atoms consist of bare protons. This produces a state in which the hydrogen becomes metallic. If there was an atomic "starter" could that create a new star with limited fuel

If a planet or moon as far as Jupiter has a carbon dioxide and methane atmosphere, could it be very warm? Like 70 degrees F. Hypothetically. Not a nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere mind you. Thick layers of greenhouse gases, a hot, molten core, and as far away as Jupiter. I really like the first one best. I did not know carbon dioxide couldn't be a gas at that distance. I also did not know methane has to be a liquid at that distance. I'm gonna pick it! Those other answers were highly interesting as well and worthy of reading and rereading too. Thanx!

Is it true that Jupiter and Saturn are just gases and if so, why do they spin like earth? Why do we talk about the surface of jupiter as though it had a hard core? Where does Saturn's shadow come from if it's just a gas? I need to understand.

What is the distance from Deimos to Jupiter? What is the distnace from Mars's moon Deimos to Jupiter? If you cannot find that out just find out the distance from Mars to Jupiter. Thanks..

How many Hurricanes does Jupiter have? I see in photos that theres a huge red spot, but then there are alot of tiny ones near it, how many hurricanes are on Jupiter or that you could estimatete?
