## Answers

### Answer by Sanjay Goenka

The **‘[Jupiter](https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/5-8/features/nasa-knows/what-is-jupiter-58.html)**’ planet is known as the **biggest planet of the Solar System** and the **gases which are found** in the abundance are [‘](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/39557/how-can-i-prepare-hydrogen)**[Hydrogen](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/39557/how-can-i-prepare-hydrogen)**’ (H2) and ‘**Helium’** (He).\

- **Jupiter is also called a gaseous giant planet** due to the presence of many gasses and the clouds that are formed with the help of those gases. The same as the **sun it has Hydrogen and Helium gasses** in huge percentage in its atmosphere. The planet looks like it **has some strips** and the **reason behind this is the presence of the various gasses** and the clouds formed with those gases.
- Jupiter looks like a **great big red storm** that **revolves at a high speed** and at its highest point it acts as a **wild hurricane**. The storm which develops in Jupiter is **three and a half times** more than the **[Diameter of earth](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/37636/when-and-how-did-scientists-measure-the-radius-of-the-earth)**. It is a very windy planet and the **range of its wind** can vary from **192 mph** to more than **400 mph**.
- **Jupiter has three very thin Rings** which are **discovered by [NASA’s Voyager-1 Spacecraft](https://solarsystem.nasa.gov/missions/voyager-1/in-depth/)** in **1979** and these are formed with the dust material that is present in the atmosphere of Jupiter.
- The **Day of Jupiter** is equal to only **6 hrs of the earth’s time** which shows the speed of Jupiter which is faster in [comparison](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/785/what-are-the-limitations-of-mysql-in-comparison-of-oracle) to the other planets. And the **orbit around the sun of its circulation is elliptical** as same as the earth. **Jupiter takes 12 years to complete the one circulation of the Sun** it means that the **one year of Jupiter is equal to the 12 years of the earth.**
- The**[temperature of Jupiter](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/92716/explain-all-planets)** in the core of its center is much more than the surface of the Sun which is about **24,000 degrees Celcius**. And the **temperature of the winds** that are moving in the atmosphere of Jupiter is **very cold** which is **minus 145 degrees Celcius** and the temperature near the planet center is so hotter.

## - The gravity of Jupiter is 2.4 times the gravity of earth. It means that if a person stands out on the surface of the earth and at that time its weight is 100 pounds then on the surface of Jupiter the weight of the same person will become 240 pounds on Jupiter and this is due to the big size of it.
