** DISTANCES: **
order from the sun: 5th planet from the sun distance from the sun: 241 million km distance from the earth: 576,682810 miles

** Mass: **
1.8987 * 10 the the power of 27 kilograms

**Volume**:
1.43 * 10 to the power of 15 km to the power of 3

Number of Days to orbit around the sun: Once every 4,330.6 Earth days

** Perihelion: **
93 km miles

** Equatorial Circumference: **
449197 km

** Mean Density: **
1.33 cm ^3

** Gravity: **
254 lbs or be around 254% as heavy

** Aphelion: **
483.78 million miles away from the sun.

about 9.9 hours
 * Length of one day: **

**Planet Aperence**:
Jupter's surface has a wide range of colors including white, orange, brown, yellow, and red. There is also a huge red spot on Jupiter known as the Great Spot. Jupiter has orange and white bands. the white bands are made from ammoniun hydrosulfide clouds. Jupiter has a solid surface all over.

** Rings: **
N/A

** Satellite: **
N/A

** Core Composition: **
Jupiter has a liquid that consits of a liquid meatallic hydrogen.

** Surface Composition: **
Jupiter is a gass, there is no soild surface. This means that if one stepped onto the planet, he would sink into it and eventually get crushed by the massive increased pressure.

** Major gases: **
Hydrogen helium

Minior gases:
Methane, Ammonia, Hydrogen deteride, Ethane, and water

** Wind Speeds: **
about 400 mph

** Temperature Rages: **
about 150degress fairenhieght

** Surface Pressure: **
Its pressure less than 1%

= Weather: = The weather on Jupiter, like everything else about a planet is large. Storms that grow to cover thousands of ( km) within hours, winds shipping the clouds at 360 kph, and storms that last for hundreds of years are typical.

= water: = Jupiter has some water vapor in its atmosphere, but the amount is negligible. On Jupiter;s moon Eurropa, much water is presental in the form of ice, Underneath the smooth surface of europa, could be and ocean of liquid water.

= Exploration: = Pioneer 10 was lauched in the 1972 and flew within 81,00 miles ( 130,00 klm) of Jupiter on Dec. 3rd, 1973

= Habitability: = As long as you didn't land or expose yourself to the atmosphere, nothing will happen. The planet has a great enough gravity that you will be squished into the boots of your space suti.

= Future Human Travel: = The planet is gas so you cannot stand on it

= Terraforming: = We would need a soild planet and there would need to be water and oxygen.

= Cool Facts: = On Jupiter we could weigh 212.76 lbs. if we were 90 pounds.

List 3 neat fact about your planet: 1.) Jupiter is the fastest spinning planet in the Solar System

2.) The clouds in Jupiter are only 50 km thick.

3.) Jupiter's mangetic feild is 14 times as strong as Earth.
