Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, taking almost 12 years to orbit the sun. It has over 63 moons, including Io which shows significant volcanic activity. Past missions like Voyager and Galileo have revealed details about Jupiter's atmosphere of hydrogen and helium, as well as its ring system. Current missions like Juno are continuing to study Jupiter and provide new insights into the giant planet.

2. ○ Jupiter was associated with mythological
and religious beliefs of many cultures. The
Romans named the planet after the Roman
God Jupiter.
○ Jupiter is in the fifth order from the Sun.
○ Jupiter takes almost 12 years to make one
revolution around the sun.
○ Jupiter rotates every 10 hours
Mythological Origin Name

3. ○ The Average distance from sun is
778,500,000 km
○ Jupiter completes an orbit every 11.86
years
○ Average density of Jupiter is 1.326
g/cm3, the average density of earth is 5.52
g/cm3, It’s less than 25% of Earth’s
○ Its average temperature is -145 degrees
Celsius.

4. ○ The diameter of Jupiter is 142,984
km, Jupiter is 11.2 times the size of the
Earth and larger than any other body in our
solar system other than the sun.
○ The gravity of Jupiter is 2.5 times what is
here on Earth, Jupiter has only 254% of the
earth’s gravity on earth.
○ If an object weigh 100 kg on Earth, it
would weigh 236 kg in Jupiter.

5. ○ Jupiter is about 90% hydrogen and 10%
helium, with traces of
methane, water, ammonia, and rock.
○ Jupiter has the largest atmosphere in the
Solar System. It is mostly made of
molecular hydrogen and helium.

6. Jupiter Moons
○ Jupiter has 63 confirmed moons. The
names of Jupiter’s moons are
lo, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Amolthea
and e.t.c.
○ A unique feature in Jupiter’s moon is
volcanology of lo, a moon of Jupiter is the
scientific of lava flows, volcanic pits, and
volcanism on the surface of lo. Its volcanic
activity was discovered in 1979 by voyager
1 imaging scientist.

8. Jupiter’s Ring
○ It’s ring was discovered by Voyager 1 in a
single image. The main ring is about 7,000 km
wide and has an abrupt outer boundary
129,130 km from the center of planet, dust
from 2 moons makes most of the ring.
○ In my opinion life in Jupiter is pretty difficult
because there is no oxygen in Jupiter, not even
0.1%. In order to live in Jupiter we need to plant
trees and vegetables so that oxygen produce and
people live there. Also, there is shortage of water
in Jupiter. Living there is very difficult
