  3. Name • Jupiter was named after the King of the Roman God. • It was the largest and most powerful object in the sky

  4. Discovery • Who- Galileo • When- 1610 • How- He turned his first telescope on Jupiter

  5. Distances • Jupiter is the 5th planet from the sun • Distance from the sun is 778,500,00 km • Distance from the earth • Closest- 628,743,036 • Farthest- 928,081,020

  6. Planet Measurements • Mass- 1.898x1027 kg • Volume- 1,431,281,810,739,360 km3 • Density- 1.33 g/cm3 • Jupiter would sink because its density is more than 1 • Gravity- 24.79 m/s2

  7. Orbit and Rotation • It takes 11.86 years and 4,332 days to orbit the sun • It takes every 9.9 hours to rotate on its axis

  8. Atmosphere • Jupiter has a thick atmosphere made of helium and hydrogen. Its atmosphere is a great red spot

  9. Temperature • It ranges from about – 190°F or -128°C for a visible surface to 9°F at lower cloud level some regions reach 40°F. • Jupiter is a lot colder than Earth and Florida

  10. Composition/ Appearance • Jupiter is a gas giant • Jupiter’s internal composition is liquid hydrogen, metal elements • Jupiter is covered with thick red brown, yellow and white clouds. The atmosphere is red and is large

  11. Weather • The weather is large. Storms that grow to cover thousands of km within hours. Wind whipping the clouds at 360 kph and storms that last for hundreds of years

  12. Rings • Discovered by NASH’s voyager 1 in 1980. They do not reflect a lot of sunlight they receive. There are 3 rings of Jupiter. • Halo ring- faint wide ring • Main ring- thin ring • Gossamer ring- faint wide ring

  13. Moons • There are 63 moons- they were discovered from 1610-2011 there are 67 including the 4 large moons known as the Galilean satellites

  14. Water • Yes, there is water, small amounts. It is in the form of water vapor in the cloud tops

  15. What would happen to a human on Jupiter? • You would be crushed my Jupiter’s gravity, poisoned by the atmosphere and the surface would absorb you

  16. Interesting Fact • Jupiter only takes 10 hours to complete to a full rotation on its axis. The planet has flattened out because it spins so fast
