introdUction to Jupiter
Jupiter is the fifth planet in the universe. Also, it is the biggest of the gas planets, or gas giants. Every single Gas Planet is made of gas, so Jupiter is made of gas. Jupiter is the biggest planet in the universe. There are 66 moons around Jupiter. No astronauts ever visited Jupiter because Jupiter has no solid surface, it is all gas.

Jupiter is so big that all of the planets, including Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and the terrestrial planets could easily fit inside Jupiter. Another way to say that is 318 Earths could fit inside Jupiter! Jupiter is about 483,638,564 miles away from the Sun. It's equatorial diameter is about 86,880 miles. Jupiter's length of day is about 9.9 Earth hours. It's average surface temperature is somewhere around -264 Fahrenheit.

jupiter and eArth
Did you know that Jupiter and Earth also have some relationships ? For example, Jupiter sometimes uses it's gravity to suck comets or asteroids that are trying to jam into the Earth. Some people think Jupiter is a failed star. That is because if Jupiter grew a little bigger when it formed, fires that are Nuclear in it would have been deep inside Jupiter, making light and heat just like our Sun. Also, if that happened, we would have two Suns in our universe instead of only one sun.
