Jupiter Facts and Comprehension
Jupiter: a giant world
Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System and the fifth planet from the Sun. It is a gas giant, made mostly of gas rather than solid rock. Its colourful cloud bands circle the planet, and faint rings are difficult to see. Jupiter has many moons. Four large ones—Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto—are known as the Galilean moons. Jupiter spins quickly, so a day there lasts about 10 hours. Its gravity is much stronger than Earth's. Spacecraft such as Voyager and Juno have travelled to study it. Jupiter is so enormous that more than 1,300 Earths could fit inside it.
A long-lasting storm
A huge swirling storm called the Great Red Spot can be seen in Jupiter's clouds. It is larger than Earth and has been observed for hundreds of years. The storm appears reddish or orange, although scientists are still investigating why it has this colour. Winds circle around inside it in a counterclockwise direction. The storm changes size and shape over time, and observations show it has become smaller in recent years. With a telescope, people on Earth can sometimes see the spot.
