The close-up views of Jupiter transmitted to Earth by spacecraft reveal a variety of cloud forms, including many elliptical features reminiscent ofcyclonicand anticyclonic storm systems on Earth. All these systems are in motion, appearing and disappearing on time scales that vary with their sizes a...
Earth’s has a mean radius of 6,371 km (3,958.8 mi), and a mass of5.97 × 1024kg, whereas Jupiter has a mean radius of 69,911 ± 6 km (43441 mi) and a mass of 1.8986×1027kg. In short, Jupiter is almost 11 times the size of Earth, and just under 318 times as massive. ...
and is surrounded by a transient planar ring system consisting of dust particles. Mean distance from sun: 778 million km; period of revolution around sun: 11.86 years; period of axial rotation: 9.83 hours; diameter and mass: 11.2 and 317.9 times that of earth respectively. SeeGalilean ...
to push the Earth out of its orbit and away from the Sun, with the intention of reaching the Alpha Centauri star system. Planning to use Jupiter’s gravity as a way to sling shot the Earth out of the solar system, an unexpected spike in Jupiter’s gravitational pull causes Earth to be...

The real climatic fluctuations in the near-surface areas of Earth are modified first of all by the Sun's revolution around the center of mass of the Solar system, as affected by the gravitational pull of large planets (Jupiter and Saturn).O....
s known mass, radius, surface temperature, gravity and equatorial bulge implies that Jupiter’s core is an Earth-like rock 14 to 18 times the mass of Earth, or about one-twentieth of Jupiter’s total mass, Militzer said. Previous models predicted a much smaller core of only 7 Earth ...
We show that the present mass and radius determinations of the massive planet Hat-P-2b require at least 200 \mearth \mearth of heavy material in the interior, at the edge of what is currently predicted by the core-accretion model for planet formation. We show that if planets as massive ...
slow meandensityof 1.33 grams per cubic cm—in contrast withEarth’s5.52 grams per cubic cm—coupled with its large dimensions and mass and short rotation period. The low density and large mass indicate that Jupiter’scompositionand structure are quite unlike those of Earth and the other inner...
The fifthplanetfrom theSun, Jupiter is the largest planet in thesolar system. It has about 318 times the mass ofEarth, and around 1320 times the volume. Jupiter is made mostly of hydrogen and helium, similar to the Sun, and is known as agas giant. ...
