  1. Jupiter By Matt, Justin, And Marcelono

  2. Atmosphere Jupiter is composed primarily of gas. As a result, Jupiter lacks a surface in the sense that the rocky, inner planets do. Jupiter's atmosphere is composed of 90%hydrogen and 10% helium. This composition is very close to that of the Sun's composition, bolstering the belief by scientists that Jupiter could have been a star if it had been more massive.

  3. Size and mass • Jupiter is easily the largest planet in our solar system. Jupiter is 318 times the size of Earth. • To get another picture in your head, if Jupiter was 80 times larger nuclear fusion would of happened in its core making it a star not a planet.

  4. Jupiter’s orbit • Jupiter is the 5th planet from the sun. Jupiter’s distance from the sun is 5 times the distance of Earth to the sun. Jupiter’s completes a full rotation every 10 hours which is the fastest rotation in our solar system.

  5. Jupiter’s interior • Jupiter’s atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium [which we covered earlier] which are the main gases in the sun which is another reason scientists call Jupiter a failed sun. The giant red spot on Jupiter has been going for over 300 years but hasn’t been discovered until 2006.
