Also like Earth, Jupiter’s shape is that of an oblate spheroid. In fact, Jupiter’s polar flattening is greater than that of Earth’s –0.06487 ± 0.00015 compared to 0.00335. This is due to Jupiter’s rapid rotation on its axis, and is why the planet’s equatorial radius is approximat...
Jupiter/Earth comparison. Credit: NASA/SDO/Goddard/Tdadamemd To know how many Earth’s could truly fit inside in three-dimensions, you have to consider total volume, which you can calculate using the simple formula of 4/3 x Pi x radius2. Doing the math, we find that Jupiter has a vol...
The current state of our knowledge of ULF pulsations in both magnetospheres is given with special emphasis given to a comparison between Earth and Jupiter.doi:10.1016/0273-1177(95)00232-4K.-H. GlassmeierAdvances in Space ResearchH.: Ultralow-frequency pulsations: Earth and Jupiter compared - ...
Only the Sun,MoonandVenusare brighter. It is one of five planets visible to the naked eye from Earth. The ancient Babylonians were the first to record their sightings of Jupiter. This was around the 7thor 8thcentury BC. Jupiter is named after the king of the Roman gods. To the Greeks,...
Size comparison between Jupiter and Earth.NASA/Wikipeida Commons. Can humans go to Jupiter? Humans cannot land on Jupiter. Jupiter does not have a solid surface that humans could land on. Instead, Jupiter’satmospherebecomes denser and denser as you move toward its core. ...
Approximate size comparison of Earth and Jupiter, including the Great Red Spot Jupiter's mass is 2.5 times that of all the other planets in our Solar System combined—this is so massive that its barycenter with the Sun lies above the Sun's surface at 1.068 solar radii from the Sun's ...
the systems might have undergone a significant evolution since their formation. This makes a comparison between these results and theoretical prediction rather difficult. The observation of Jupiter-like planets in very young associations represents a possible solution to these issues. In this context, th...
in order to resolve the controversy surrounding the large discrepancy between Jupiter's global ammonia abundance, hence the nitrogen elemental ratio, derived from the earth-based microwave observations and that inferred from the analysis of the Galileo probe-orbiter radio attenuation data for the hotspot...
It has been termed by many a "failed star", even though the comparison would be akin to calling an asteroid "a failed Earth". As impressive as it is, extrasolar planets have been discovered with much greater masses. However, it is thought to have about as large a diameter as a ...
Above: A visual comparison of Jupiter and Earth, by NASA. The image of Jupiter was captured by the Cassini space probe in 2000. Another king-sized feature of Jupiter is clearly visible — the “Great Red Spot”, which is actually a giant storm in the Jovian atmosphere that looks similar ...
