    Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, with a diameter of over 12,000 km. It is made primarily of hydrogen and helium and has no solid surface. Jupiter has 79 known moons, with Ganymede being the largest. Notable features include the Great Red Spot, a massive storm that has raged for over 150 years, and faint rings composed of debris from meteor collisions with its moons. Galileo was the first to observe Jupiter in detail using a telescope in 1610. Since then, it has been visited by numerous spacecraft to study the gas giant.

    JUPITER is the is largest planet in the solar system, it is also the fifth planet from the sun. Being the largest
    planet, it also has the largest diameter coming in at 12,724 km. Amid all the gas planets, Jupiter is the second
    densest planet, coming in after Neptune. As Jupiter is a gas planet it has no surface, this is the reason which
    explains why the temperature in Jupiter is -145°C! Jupiter has 3 times the mass of the Earth. This gas planet lies
    765.48 million km away from the sun and takes a mind-boggling 12 years to orbit the sun once. It is named after
    Jupiter, the god of the sky and thunder. In Greek mythology, Jupiter’s other name is Zeus who was the king of
    gods. The planet’s astronomical symbol is ♃, it is symbolized as Jupiter/Zeus’s thunderbolt.

    Jupiter’s first detailed observations was done on the 7 th of January 1610 by Galileo Galilei. The discovery was
    made by a small telescope. Shortly after the discovery, Galileo Galilei discovered many of Jupiter’s 79 moons.
    Jupiter’s largest moon Ganymede is even larger than Mercury. Jupiter has been flown past 8 spacecrafts Pioneer
    10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, Galileo, Ulysses, Cassini–Huygens and New Horizons. All these
    spacecrafts flew past Jupiter and its moons in between the years of 1973 and 2007. With the Earliest being
    Pioneer 10 in 1973, and the latest being New Horizons being in 2007.
    Jupiter is composed of many types of gas. Just like Saturn, it contains hydrogen, helium, and methane. Its
    composition is different to Neptune and Uranus. That is why Jupiter and Saturn are usually referred to as the Gas
    Giants, unlike the Neptune and Uranus (Ice Giants). Jupiter has traces of water, ammonia and methane. These
    substances are made when oxygen, nitrogen and carbon mix with the mostly hydrogen atmosphere. The planet is
    covered in red, brown, yellow, and white stripes of clouds.
    The most famous part about Jupiter must be its red spot in its southern hemisphere. This spot is a raging storm
    that has been going on for 150 years or maybe even more. The speed of the winds in this spot is 1450 kph. The
    diameter of this storm is twice of Earth. There are 4 very faint rings around Jupiter which were discovered on
    March 4, 1979. These rings are caused when micro meteors collide with one of Jupiter’s moon. The debris and
    dust are brought into orbit and are eventually created into rings. These rings are in different distances from
    Jupiter.

    Above: Jupiter (2020) showing Jupiter’s red spot, which is a raging storm. The striping colours is caused by
    clouds that are mostly made of hydrogen and helium. They only emit certain colours of light.
