born by eating another planet (jupiter)

Known from ancient times by astronomers, the name Jupiter is derived from the name of the Roman god. In our solar system, this is the largest planet. This planet is the 5th planet closest to the sun after Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The so-called planet is outside the orbit of the asteroid in our solar system. Like the planets Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn, the planet Jupiter is also called a giant gas ball planet. Hydrogen gas and helium gas are compounds that make up the planet Jupiter.

The largest and oldest in the solar system

The diameter of the planet Jupiter is 10 times larger than the size of the Earth's diameter. The diameter of Jupiter is about 142,984 km. Compared with the sun is still 10 times smaller Jupiter. The equatorial radius is about 12 times that of Earth's equator. Its surface area reaches 61.4 billion km ^ 2, volume 1.321 times Earth's volume, mass 318 times the mass of Earth, 3.13-degree axis inclination, density 1.33 g / cm3, gravity 2.3 times stronger than Earth's gravity.

Researchers from Munster University of Germany and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory of the United States announced that Jupiter is the planet's oldest planet in the solar system. News of Jupiter's age is known after the discovery of a meteorite that fell to Earth. The meteorite rocks were studied by measuring the tungsten isotope and the amount of molybdenum contained therein. The result is that meteorites come from two different sources that are about 2-3 million years apart. It is estimated that the separation began about 1 million years after the solar system began to take shape.

The Jupiter core, which is 20 times larger than Earth, is thought to contribute to the separation. About the first 1 million years of the solar system exist, the planet Jupiter is estimated to have begun to develop. The enormous dust and clouds of estimated gas that formed the solar system occurred about 4.6 billion years ago. Then the sun is formed, then the other planets are formed from the waste material that revolves around the Sun.

Giant Gas Ball

The surface of the planet Jupiter is not solid, unlike the surface of other planets. This planet is composed of most of the gas because it can be said that this planet has no surface but still has a core.

The atmospheric planet Jupiter is at a height of up to 3,107 miles (5,000 km). Planet Jupiter is the owner of the largest atmospheric layer in the solar system. All that because the planet Jupiter has no surface so that the lowest atmosphere lies in the section with a pressure of 10 bar. That is equivalent to 10 times the air pressure on the surface of the Earth.

Jupiter's planetary atmosphere is composed of helium gas (8% -12%) and hydrogen gas (88% -92%) remaining ammonia gas mixture, methane, and other elements, based on the total planet's volume ratio. The compounds of ammonia and H2S are thought to form the red Jupiter clouds. Jupiter's planetary body is mostly composed of liquid and gas particles. Jupiter's planet helium gas content is equal to the amount of helium present in the sun, hence it is called a giant gas ball.

The temperature on the planet Jupiter averages around minus 145 degrees Celsius. The temperature here can change with altitude, very different from Earth. The heat felt here radiates from the interior of the planet, not from the sun.

Compared to Earth, the density of the lower Jupiter planet is about 1.3 times smaller. As a result of Jupiter gas, helium planet has a density of 1.33 g / cm3. The density sequence is in position 2 compared to other giant gas planets like Uranus, Saturn, and Neptune.

Great Storm / Great Red Spot

Ammonium hydrosulfide and ammonia crystals are the layers that make up the planet Jupiter. The cloud layers on the planet Jupiter are composed of different layers. The arranged and different layers are arranged transversely and produce bright and dark patterns. Because it has layers so it has different flow patterns. The interaction of several layers with the opposite flow pattern is what eventually led to a major storm on Jupiter. Storms on this planet have sped up to 100 m / s or 360 km / h.

The giant red spots/storms, ie anticyclonic storms of its size can be larger than the size of Earth. Because of this very large storm can also be seen from the Earth using a telescope with openings 12 or larger. The height of this storm can reach up to 5 ml (8 km). The storm here can last for millions of years. Wowww !!!

The almost invisible ring

Dust is the material that forms a circular ring on the planet Jupiter. The possibility of dust comes from the planet's satellites. The ring is so thin that it is not very visible, very different from the rings on the planet Saturn that is composed of ice and easily visible. This planet has a belt that rotates light and dark colored in the equator. A light-colored belt is a rising gas and a dark belt is a downed gas flow. The ring on the planet Jupiter is divided into 5 parts, namely:

1. The main ring,
2. Hello, rings,
3. Ring deep gossamer,
4. Outside gossamer rings, and
5. The outer ring.

Jupiter Satellite

Another feature of Jupiter's planet is that it has more than 60 natural satellites, and there are other satellites that have yet to be discovered. 7-11 January 1610 is the beginning of the discovery of Jupiter satellites, discovered by Galileo-Galilei even up to 4 satellites that can be seen. Then the satellites are known by the name of Galilean. Furthermore found other satellites. Jupiter's largest natural satellite is named Ganymede, the largest natural satellite in the solar system.

^{Orbit and rotation,credit image}

Rotation on the planet Jupiter has a speed of 45,300 km / h, very much different from the Earth which is only 965 km/hour. It only takes 10 hours for a single rotation. Jupiter's rotational speed is the fastest in the solar system. At the top of the atmosphere the rotational speed at the equator is 5 minutes faster than at the poles, therefore Jupiter's atmosphere will be constantly torn apart.

Meteor Rain Guards?

It is the planet most often struck by a meteor, due to its great gravity and also because it lies near the inner solar system. Initially alleged by astronomers, the planet Jupiter is the protector of the inner solar system because it reduces the fall of meteors on other planets. But now that opinion has become a debate, after the results of computer simulations show that the gravity of the planet Jupiter never affects the fall of meteors to Earth or other planets.

The magnetic field at every pole of the planet Jupiter has a magnitude of up to 14 times the Earth's magnetic field. And it is believed the magnetic field is the largest and strongest in the solar system. The plasma strands in the magnestofer are ionized and are formed from oxygen, hydrogen gas ions, and sulfur. Plasma strands radiate from electrons and generate bursts of 0.6-30 MHz wavelength, it's like a radio wave.

Life on Planet Jupiter

Currently, NASA has dispatched a spaceship called Juno. It is an unmanned aircraft and will take up to 5 years to reach Jupiter. NASA has a purpose to investigate and uncover the mysteries of this planet. Mapping magnetic fields, inner planets, and gravity includes their goals. Do not forget to see if there is life here.

Life on this planet may exist, but it is believed not to be the same as on Earth. The number of water is very influential and it is estimated that the water content is very small. Water and ammonia present in the atmosphere are believed to not hinder life to thrive. According to the hypothesis, it is likely that there is life in the Europa unit. Because of the surface of Europa satellites covered with a layer of ice and overgrown with flowers. The detection of flowers due to reflected light looks the same as the reflection of the eyes of plants and animals.

That's the proven facts about the largest planet in the solar system. Maybe we still have to wait a long time to set foot on the planet Jupiter. The planet is still full of mystery and waiting to be solved. Hopefully soon will come the happy news. Amien... Thank's
