Observing Jupiter ( BSLclick here)

  • Jupiter is five times as far from the Sun as the Earth, so its surface temperature is low, around –145°C.
  • beyond the asteroid belt is Jupiter, the fifth planet from the Sun.
  • everything about Jupiter is large.
  • it is so big that it could easily swallow all of the other planets (or more than 1,300 Earths).
  • despite its huge size, Jupiter is the fastest-spinning planet, rotating once in less than 10 hours.
