The universe is a mysterious place in our solar system with galaxies and stars. The universe has eight planets orbiting the sun, namely Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Each planet is very different from each other and unique in its own way. As Jupiter, which is an incredible planet with many astonishing facts. These amazing facts about Jupiter:
1. Location and sizeJupiter is the fifth planet closest towards the sun which lies between Mars and Saturn. Jupiter is also the planet's largest, compared with 122 the earth. If speaks volumes more than 1,300 Earth could fit inside Jupiter. Gravity conducted Jupiter is two and a half times stronger than the Earth is done. If a person with a weight of 100 kg stands at Jupiter, the weight will be 150 kg. The period of Jupiter is 317 times bigger than Earth, or two and a half times that of all the remaining planets in our solar system.2. Name Origin JupiterJupiter name comes from Roman mythology that is the main deity.In mythology, Jupiter is mentioned as the son of Saturn and brother of Neptune and Pluto. Jupiter was married to Juno. But Jupiter had an affair with other women and have children of four planet's largest moon (Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto). Everything lover named Jupiter.3. Been visited 8 SatelliteSo far 8 satellites from Earth is "tasked with" examining Jupiter.Satellites respectively Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, Galileo, Ulysses, Cassini and New Horizons-Haugens. Pionner 10 pesawar launched in 1972 and the first spacecraft to visit Jupiter. Pionner 10 and 11 visited the planet's biggest in 1973 and 1974, followed by Voyager 1 and 2 were explored in 1979. Sixteen years later turn Ulysses, Galileo (1995), Cassini-Huygens (2000) and New Horizons (2007). Other spacecraft are scheduled to be flown is Juno in August 2011 and is expected to reach Jupiter in August 2016.4. Can be Seen with the Naked EyeTo see Jupiter we could see it with the naked eye. When looking at the night sky, Jupiter is the brightest object besama Venus and the Moon which is the bright object in our solar system. Even Jupiter brighter than the brightest star called Sirius. With a pair of binoculars or a small telescope, Jupiter looks come with a white circle with four other bright headdress (Ganymede, Io, Europa and Callisto).5. Having a Strong Magnetic FieldJupiter has the strongest magnetic field in the solar system. It's amazing fourteen times stronger than Earth's. Some astronomers believe that Jupiter's magnetic field is created metallic hydrogen motions are found deep within the planet. The magnetic field captures ionized particles from the solar wind and speed. As a result, the particles create radiation around Jupiter that can cause great damage to the spacecraft that want to get close to the image of the great planets.
