I introduce my File Facts about Jupiter.pdf, which contain the useful information about Jupiter planet. There are also some pictures of Jupiter. I hope that, they will provide to you useful knowledge about astronomy in general and Jupiter in particular.

1. Facts about Jupiter's Atmosphere
The upper atmosphere of the planet Jupiter experiences differential revolution. Jupiter
revolves at varying speeds owing to the difference in the atmosphere as well as its very
peculiar shape. This uniqueness may also be somewhat due to the fact that the planet
Jupiter is nearly completely gaseous. This article will present some basic facts about
Jupiter’s atmosphere.
The planet Jupiter is made up of 90 percent hydrogen and 10 percent helium. It also
has minute amounts of methane, water, ammonia and traces of rock particles. This is
pretty much similar to the makeup of the Solar Nebula, which shaped the solar system.
Another planet, Saturn is considered to be
very much alike with Jupiter’s
composition although the planets Uranus
and Neptune are composed of very few
hydrogen and helium.
Some of the facts about Jupiter that
we may assert for sure regarding the
internal characteristics of the planet and
even other gaseous planets are only
restricted to indirect understanding, and it
appear likely that it will be that way. The
information that experts have obtained
from the probe called Galileo only pulled
out to about 150 kilometers underneath the peaks of the clouds.
Some experts have hypothesized that the core of the planet Jupiter is composed of
rocky materials, a bunch of materials that equates 10 to 15 planets the size of the planet
Earth.
Above the center of the planet Jupiter is a chunk of the gaseous planet, which is
composed of metallic liquid hydrogen. These are the identical protons and electrons that
are found in the insides of the sun, although at a very lower temperature. The hydrogen
on planet Jupiter is in liquid form, not in the form of gas. It is also capable of conducting
electricity. The liquid hydrogen is the resource of the magnetic field of the planet Jupiter.
It is also likely assumed to be containing helium as well as some sort of ices.

2. The outermost layer of the planet Jupiter is composed predominantly of hydrogen and
helium. Some other sort of simple molecules also exist in little amounts in the planet’s
atmosphere.
Some experts who are looking for some facts about Jupiter’s atmosphere preempted to
be finding an excellent supply of oxygen in the atmosphere of the planet Jupiter, although
information obtained from the Galileo probe recommends that the planet contains lesser
oxygen that what is present around the sun.
The planet Jupiter, along with its sister gaseous planets have high velocity winds that
are isolated in wide latitude bands. The winds that are experienced in the adjacent bands
gust in various directions. The dominating colored bands found in Jupiter’s appearance
are the outcome of little chemical and temperature difference among the bands. The
lighter bands are referred to as the zones while the darker bands are referred to as the
belts.
Data gathered through the probe Galileo has suggested that the winds of the planet
Jupiter are quicker than what the experts have initially expected, around 400 mph. The
probe Galileo also found the planet Jupiter’s atmosphere is much turbulent. This is an
indication that the planet Jupiter’s winds are driven more through the internal heat, unlike
the winds of the planet Earth, which are driven by the sun’s heat.
Chemical reactions of the minute elements present in Jupiter’s atmosphere are most
likely the cause of the bright colors one could see in the Jupiter’s clouds.

Jupiter and the Star of Bethlehem
A few years back, there was an American astronomer who has claimed of uncovering
the very first reference to the Star of Bethlehem outside of what is written in the Bible, in
the 4th-century accounts of a Christian convert who intend to conceal the astrological
basis of such celestial event. This article deals with Jupiter and the Star of Bethlehem.
For thousands of years, scientific experts and scholars have long debated on the nature
of such Biblical phenomenon that has led the Magi to the newly born Jesus Christ. There
are some people who have recommended a supernova or a comet.

3. A man named Michael Molnar has
asserted that the Star of Bethlehem was
actually a double eclipse of the planet
Jupiter some 2,000 years in the past.
Frimicus Maternus, a popular astrologer
of Constantine the Great, in his book entitle
“THE MATHESIS” written in 334 A.D.,
characterized the astrological phenomenon
as something that involves an eclipse of the
planet Jupiter by the Moon in the
constellation of Aries. Furthermore, he
espoused that it is a sign of the birth of a
heavenly king.
These days, signifying the onset of
Christmas, the planet Jupiter is back in our skies, located low in the west during the early
evening.
The planet Jupiter is considered as the biggest in the solar system. Jupiter, at last
count, is composed of a retinue of 63 satellites. The planet safeguards the Earth from
inbound comets. One of Jupiter’s moons called EUROPA is assumed to be harboring an
ocean underneath its crust made of ice, one that has a very good probability of supporting
life.
Jupiter is considered as a very spectacular planet. When Jupiter is seen in a telescope,
it could be seen sporting the Great Red Spot and 2 prominent cloud bands. The Great Red
Spot is actually a cyclonic storm that is about thrice the size of the Earth. It is known to
have blown all throughout Jupiter for more than 300 years. The 4 biggest satellites that
glisten like diamonds, revolves around the planet in a span of days in a never-ending
manner. Since we can see those satellites edge-on, they interchangeably sail through the
surface of the planet Jupiter, giving off dark shadows into the planet’s clouds or get
eclipsed by the planet itself when they transit behind Jupiter.
A lot of people are fascinated with the sight of the Great Red Spot, more in particular
when its size is being taken into account as it could contain three times of the Earth and
following the movement of the planet Jupiter’s satellites which shift on an everyday
basis. Since the satellites of the planet Jupiter revolves around its equatorial plane, the
satellites form shadows that usually cast into the planet itself. The use of binoculars will
show the satellites and the planet Jupiter although you will be requiring a telescope in
order to take a sight of the Great Red Spot or the shadows of the satellites.

4. A few of the best amateur astronomers with bigger telescopes along with some
equipments for capturing pictures through them, have taken some breath-taking images of
the planet Jupiter. In addition to this, there are even time-lapse series which illustrate the
rotating planet, the satellite crossing it as well as the odd shadow casting over the face of
the planet.

Jupiter is Our Largest Planet
The planet Jupiter is considered as a planet of superlatives. Jupiter is our largest
planet. In Roman Mythology, Jupiter was the king of the gods - a name that is fitting for
the biggest planet in the solar system. On the same note, the old Greeks have named the
planet after the king of the Greek pantheon, Zeus.
In the year 1610, the planet Jupiter
has actually helped in changing the way we
perceive the whole universe when
GALILEO GALILEI has discovered the
planet’s 4 big moons, namely: CALLISTO,
GANYMEDE, EUROPA and IO. This has
been the very first time where celestial
bodies were not observed to be surrounding
the Earth. This is one of the major supports
of the Copernican perspective that the
planet Earth was not the core of the
universe.
The planet Jupiter is considered as the
most gigantic in the solar system. It is considered as two times as big as all the other
planets altogether. In addition to this, if Jupiter had been roughly 80 times more
enormous, it would have actually developed into a star instead of a planet. The
atmosphere of the planet Jupiter is so much alike that of the sun. It is composed largely of
helium and hydrogen and along with 4 big moons as well as a lot of smaller moons in
orbit around the planet. These features, the planet Jupiter by itself forms a sort of a little
solar system. As earlier mentioned, the huge volume of the planet Jupiter holds more than
1,300 times of the Earth.

5. The multicolored bands of the planet Jupiter are positioned in light zones and dark
belts caused by powerful east-west winds in the planet’s higher atmosphere blowing more
than 640 kilometers in an hour. The dark clouds are composed of other chemicals. These
are found in the belts while the white clouds found in the zones are composed of crystals
of frozen ammonia. The blue clouds are at the deepest visible levels.
The great Red Spot is without a doubt, the most peculiar characteristic of the planet
Jupiter. The Great Red Spot is actually an enormous hurricane-like storm that has been
existent for over 300 years. The Great Red Spot, at its widest, is approximated to be
thrice the Earth’s diameter and its edge reveals in a counterclockwise motion around its
core at an estimated speed of 360 kilometers in an hour. The color of the Great spot,,
which typically range from brick red to a little brownish, may be attributed from the
minute amounts of phosphorus and sulfur in the ammonia clouds in the planet’s clouds.
The great Red Spot, every now and then, seems to completely fade.
The planet Jupiter revolves more rapidly than any other planet in the solar system. Its
revolution takes a bit under 10 hours to complete a whole turn on its axis, as against the
24 hours of the Earth’s. This fast revolution actually makes the planet Jupiter protrudes at
the equator and evens out at the poles. This has made Jupiter about 7 percent wider at the
equator than at the poles.
The planet Jupiter sends radio waves that are powerful enough to detect on Earth.
These radio waves come in 2 basic forms: powerful bursts that take place when Io, one of
Jupiter’s big moons which are the closest to the planet, passes through some particular
areas of the planet’s magnetic field and persistent radiation from the planet’s surface as
well as high-energy particles in its radiation belts.

The Meaning of the Planets in the Zodiac
There are some basic influences on the zodiac signs in western astrology that define
the meaning of the planets in the zodiac. Such influences include the sun, the moon and
the planets, as well as their position in the zodiac when you were born and their transits
or movement through the sky in the past, present and the future. As a matter of fact, the
planets in the solar system provide astrology its meaning. At the instance you were born,
each planet in the solar system as well as the sun and the moon has occupied a certain
position, which is mirrored in an individual’s birth chart in the different houses of

6. astrology, The comparative locations of the different planets as they transits through the
houses shapes certain angles and aspects which are ever shifting. The planets that are
positioned on the inner area tend to move faster than those that are positioned on the
outer area. Therefore whole generations may
be affected a lot by a single planet than
another, however the astrological climate can
shift considerably faster because of the steady
activity of the planets by the means of the
signs of the zodiac as well as the
constellations. While the different planets are
perceived to be ruling particular signs, they
all have, at a certain extent, an impact over
each sign. Find out the meaning of the
planets in the zodiac below:
The Sun – while the sun is not considered
as a placement, its positioning in your natal chart and its present position in the zodiac are
taken into account in order to arrive at a significant meaning. The sun provides life to
virtually anything on the planet. Your natal sign is dependent on the position of the sun in
a certain constellation of the zodiac at the very instance that you were born.
The Moon – is closely associated to the instincts, emotions and moods in zodiac
astrology. The moon is also closely tied with your mother and your relation with females
in general. The moon’s domain includes drive, unconscious and primeval habits as well
as instincts.
Pluto – is the planet that is mostly related with death, sex and the unconscious. Pluto
is also related with rebirth. The domain of Pluto includes all things that are spiritual and
occult.
Neptune – is perceived to be the planet of illusion, imagination as well as deception,
specifically self-deception. In some cases you do need to jump the track and discover
fantasies or get in touch with your sensitivity, therefore the impact is not completely
negative.
Uranus – is perceived to be the planet of constant change, which is usually
unanticipated. There are some who perceive Uranus to be a rebel.
Saturn – is a taskmaster and will never leave you on your own until such time you get
to learn the lessons that you ought to know in order to develop and find your security and
safety.

7. Jupiter – is the planet of optimism, opportunity and luck.
Mars – the influence of this planet is aggressive and energetic.
Venus – is thought as the planet of creativity, beauty and love.
Mercury – trade, verbal and written expression, analysis and reason are all part of
Mars’ domain. It is known to be the planet that rules commerce as well as
communications. It rules both the Virgo sun sign as well as the sign of Gemini.

The Planets – Jupiter
Inside the solar system, Jupiter is pretty
obviously an exceptional planet. The planet
Jupiter is considered as the largest, the
mightiest and most superlative planet in the
solar system. This outstanding planet contains
about two and a half times more bulk than all
of the other planets put altogether. In addition
to this, the planet Jupiter has over 1,000 times
the Earth’s volume. In some aspects, Jupiter
even has similar characteristics like that of a
tiny star. Scientific experts approximate that in
truth, if the planet Jupiter had been about over
80 times more massive than what it is
currently, the temperature and the pressure in its center might have been enough to ignite
nuclear reactions, therefore transforming it into a star. This article will tell you more
about the planets – Jupiter.
Fortunately for us who dwell on Earth though, this was not the case and in its place,
what we are left is a planet Jupiter as seemingly the biggest planet in the solar system.
The planet Jupiter however still looks fairly bright because of its size and it is being
considered as the fourth largest object in the night sky. It is due to this bright appearance
that GALILEO GALILEI, during his time was able to spot the planet Jupiter in just a
short while after he has turned his newly refined telescopes into the stars in the year 1610
from his home in PADOVA. Galileo was also the discoverer of what are now regarded as
the 4 “Galilean moons” of the planet Jupiter, namely: GANYMEDE, CALLISTO,

8. EUROPA and IO. All of these Galilean moons are very peculiar in their own right. If you
wish to see the planet Jupiter during the night, it looks like a disc that is yellow to white.
The planet Jupiter is known to be a very active one. All over its surface, a plethora of
storms rage. The most popular among these storms is the Great Red Spot. This is actually
an enormous revolving storm, even wider than 3 times of the Earth’s diameter. The great
Red Spot is extremely complex and transits in a generally anti-clockwise motion. The
historical records from Earth-based observations reveal that the Great Red Spot has been
existence for over 100 years.
The streams of quick, strong winds which gust at above 400 mph alternately in the
opposite directions all over the planet is the cause of the stripes which are visible on the
surface of the planet Jupiter. These quick and strong winds are perceived to be primarily
brought about by the internal heat that is produced from within the planet and they can
quickly shift in shape within a span of days of even hours.
The atmosphere of the planet Jupiter is perceived to extend a very long way deep
down into the planet. Regardless, scientific experts perceive that the planet Jupiter
possesses a small rocky core at its center, around it is an inner mantle composed of
metallic liquid hydrogen. The outer mantle is believed to be composed of helium and
normal liquid hydrogen.
Even with a diameter that is about 11 times larger than the planet Earth’s, the planet
Jupiter revolves on its axis much quicker than any other planet found in the solar system.
This explains why it protrudes out at the equator. The fast revolution is also perceived to
have an effect on the powerful wind system in the planet.
