Let's Explore the Jupiter

Let's Explore Jupiter.

Our Universe is the miracle of endless wonders; it's beyond the limits of the latest thinking of the human mind and has many hidden secrets in it. We all live here on the Earth, which is part of the Solar System, just like the family of still people caring for each other. Sun plays as the parent to all his children's which are the planets. Space is something more than just the mystery

Our solar system has its giant sibling called "Jupiter."

Giant Jupiter Jupiter is Unique.

Now let's head on to the journey of exploring Jupiter.

Jupiter is the giant planet in this solar system. It is so much big that all other planets in the solar system can fit inside it very quickly. More than 1,300 Earths would fit inside it.

Jupiter is the fifth most massive planet in the solar system. From the Earth, it is almost the second brightest planet in the night sky. I often wonder about the most shining star when I look up in the air and hope that it might be the Jupiter. This planet named after "Jupiter," who was the king of the Gods in the old Roman Stories.

 This planet is not stable like our Earth as it made up of gases. Being a giant big ball of gas, it is also known as "Gas Giant" planet. This planet is covered with thick red, brown and yellow clouds. The clouds make the Earth look like it has stripes. Do you know that Jupiter is Windy Planet? Its winds blow more than 400 mph, which is faster than hurricanes and tornadoes, which experienced on the Earth.

Well, Jupiter has the "Red Spot," which makes it unique. The swirling, red spot is a giant spinning storm. It looks more like a hurricane, and almost 31/2 Earth could fit in the rain.

Very few people know that Jupiter has three thin rings, and its rings are not like Saturn's rings as it's rings are hard to see. NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft found the rings in1979. These rings are made up mostly of tiny bits of dust particles.

It rotates or spins much faster than any other planet. Our Earth almost takes 24 hours to turn once. Jupiter only takes 10 hours. So a day in Jupiter is about 10 hours long. As it is so far from the sun, so it takes 12 Earth years to make one trip around the sun, which means that one year on Jupiter is 12 years on Earth.

It is a really, very cold planet. Gravity is also different there. There is more gravity on Jupiter than on Earth. Someone who weighs 100 pounds on Earth would weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter.

Now, even after much knowledge about it, there are some Brighter facts about it.

"Jupiter" is called the "Failed Star" as it mostly made up of the materials by which other stars made, but it is not massive enough to be called the star.

Scientists believe that it "Rains Diamond" on Jupiter as new atmospheric data for the gas giant indicates that carbon is abundant in its dazzling crystal form. Lightning storms turn methane into soot, which hardens into chunks of graphite and then Diamonds as its fall.

So we can conclude that this Giant Sibling is much more interesting than any other of its Siblings.
