2 days ago · Jupiter, the most massive planet in the solar system and the fifth in distance from the Sun. It is one of the brightest objects in the night sky; only the Moon, Venus, and sometimes Mars are more brilliant. Jupiter takes nearly 12 Earth years to orbit the Sun, and it rotates once about every 10 hours.

2 days ago · Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System, located fifth from the sun. It has a diameter of 139,822 kilometers and a mass of 1.898 x 10^27 kilograms, making it more than twice as massive as all the other planets in the Solar System combined.
2 days ago · Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, at more than 300 times the mass of Earth. It is mostly made of hydrogen and helium, with a thick atmosphere consisting of several layers and ...
5 days ago · Great Red Spot, a long-lived enormous storm system on the planet Jupiter and the most conspicuous feature of its visible cloud surface. It is generally reddish in colour, slightly oval in shape, and approximately 16,350 km (10,159 miles) wide—large enough to engulf Earth.

5 days ago · The false-colour ultraviolet images (bottom) follow changes in brightness and structure of the auroras, caused by interaction of particles in Jupiter's atmosphere and the planet's magnetic field, as Jupiter rotates. The offset between the planet's rotational and magnetic axes is apparent.
4 days ago · Jupiter is one of the brightest objects in the night sky, and it is easily seen on a clear night. Aside from the bright northern and southern lights at the planet’s polar regions, the glow from Jupiter’s upper atmosphere is weak and is therefore challenging for ground-based telescopes to discern details in this region.
