1. JUPITER
The Giant Planet

2. -JUPITER HAS 63 MOONS, MANY MORE THAN WE
THOUGHT (ABOUT 12).

3. HERE ARE SOME FACTS--
--If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth you would weigh 264 pounds
on Jupiter.
--Jupiter has a mass 318 times greater than the Earth's and a
diameter that is 11 times larger.
--It rotates so quickly that the days are only 10 hours
long... But it takes 12 Earth years for Jupiter to complete
an orbit around the sun.

4. --Jupiter completes one full rotation about its axis
every 10 hours, giving it the fastest rotational
speed of any planet.
---The area of Jupiter around its equator rotates
faster than its polar regions by around five
minutes. It makes a bulge at the equator.

5. --Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun.
--Jupiter's moons are broken into two classifications:
the larger Galilean moons and the smaller moons.
--The Galilean moons are named after Galileo who
discovered them in 1610. These moons are
Ganymede, Io, Europa, and Callisto.
--Jupiter’s core is rocky, scientists believe that it is 45
times heavier than the Earth

6. History
Jupiter was the king
of the gods in
Roman mythology.
The ancient Greeks
named the planet
after Zeus, the king
of the Greek
pantheon.

7. Jupiter’s Bands
--The colorful bands of Jupiter are arranged in dark
belts and light zones created by strong east-west
winds
--The white clouds in the zones are made of
crystals of frozen ammonia
--The deepest visible levels are blue clouds

8. This is Jupiter’s position in the Solar System

9. The Great Red Spot, a giant hurricane-like storm
has been going on for more than 300 years.

10. --Jupiter has the biggest moon in the Solar
System, Ganymede. It is even bigger than
Mercury and Pluto.
--Jupiter has a ring just like Saturn and Uranus.
--Jupiter is covered by an ocean of hydrogen
with a sludge-like consistency.
--Unlike other planets, Jupiter sends out a
strong radio radiation that can be detected on
Earth.
