PRESENTATION OUTLINE

Jupiter is the fourth brightest object in the solar system:
Only the Sun, Moon and Venus are brighter. It is one of five planets visible to the naked eye from Earth.

Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar system. It is so big that more than 1300 Earths could fit inside it.

Thick, colorful clouds of deadly poisonous gases surround Jupiter. The quick spinning of the planet whips up the atmosphere, creating the bands around the planet.

At the centre of Jupiter is a rocky core, slightly bigger than Earth but weighing about 20 times more.

Jupiter has a very strong magnetic field, you would weigh two and a half times as much as you would on Earth.

Jupiter has many moons circling around it. Four of these moons are bigger than Pluto.

Jupiter has the shortest day of all the planets:
It turns on its axis once every 9 hours and 55 minutes.

The Great Red Spot is a huge storm on Jupiter:
It has raged for at least 350 years. It is so large that three Earths could fit inside it.

Jupiter’s interior is made of rock, metal, and hydrogen compounds.
