Jupiter

Jupiter?

• Largest Planet
• The planet is made up of 90% Hydrogen and 10% Helium
• Gas Planet
• Core: rock and ice
• 5th planet from the sun

Jupiter's Place

• 1/1047 size of sun
• 11 Earths aligned would reach Jupiter
• 67 moons (NASA got pictures of 1)
• 11.86 years (Earth) = 1 Jupiter year
• 484 million miles from the sun
• 3,037,000,000 miles to orbit the sun 1 time

Known Facts

• Mass: is 1.896 x 1027 kg
• Density: 1.326 (317.8 times Earth's)
• Axis tilt: 3 degrees
• Diameter: 88,695
• Equator rotates 1000 mph
• Clouds above equator move at 28,000 mph

Untitled Slide

• Has 2.5 times more gravity than Earth
• 1,300 times the volume of Earth
• Winds can be faster than 400 mph
• Day length: 9 Earth hours
• NASA sent back 1,300 pictures of Jupiter
• Rains diamonds: The temp. does not go higher than 6, 416 degrees Fahrenheit (diamond melting point)

Untitled Slide

• GRS (Great red spot) can hold 2 Earths
• Contains 2/3 the mass in our Solar System
• The GRS storm: brewing for 300 yrs
• Takes 317 Earth masses to make 1 Jupiter mass

Untitled Slide

• Protects Earth from asteroids
• The universe is millions of years old
• Solar system is not quite as old
• The planets are about the same age as the Solar System constering they make it up

Untitled Slide

• Temp (surface): -234 degrees Fahrenheit
• Core temp: 63,000 Fahrenheit

Types of galaxies

• Spiral: Named for shape, Milky Way is a spiral, arms of this type of galaxy are blue stars (new ones)
• Elliptical: Named for shape, football shaped, center of galaxy is wrapped in stars.
• Irregular: No specific shape, smallest type of galaxy, can be the first parts of a bigger galaxy

Outside Jupiter

• 3 rings
