It is 770,000,000 miles
away from the sun.
It is 620,000,000 miles
away from Earth.
Measurements
Mass:1.8981327 Volume:1,431,281,810,73,360 km3 Density:1.326 g/cm3 It would sink in water because the density of water is 1.00 and it is heavier.Gravity: 24.79 m/s2
Orbit and Rotation
It takes 4,332.59 days for Jupiter to orbit the sun.
It takes 9 hours and 55 minutes for Jupiter to rotate once on its axis.
Atmosphere/ Temperature
Hydrogen and Helium are the two main components of Jupiter’s atmosphere.
Methane is also found in a trace amount.
Temperatures range from -128 degrees Celsius to 4 degrees Celsius. It is extremely cold compared to Earth and especially cold to Florida.

Appearance
Jupiter is an extremely large planet that is considered a gas giant. The great Red Giant Spot is on the surface of Jupiter. There are different colored bands on Jupiter as well.
Weather
There is a storm on the surface of Jupiter and it is located close to the middle.
Rings
Jupiter has three rings. They are only visible when Jupiter passes directly in front of the sun. They are made of small rocks and dust, and they are dark in color.
Moons
Jupiter has 67 known moons, and some of the moons were discovered by Galileo using a telescope.
Water
Deep in the atmosphere the pressure makes hydrogen and oxygen into water. This causes to create the largest ocean in the universe.
Humans and Jupiter
The temperature would kill the a human on Jupiter.
The pressure could also kill them as well.
Special fact
Jupiter has a storm on its surface that has been predicted to be there for over 300 years. It is called “The Eye of Jupiter”.
