BIO: Jupiter


Jupiter is by far the largest planet in the solar system. About 1,300 planet Earths could
fit inside it. This planet is often referred to as a "gas giant" because it is mostly made up
of hydrogen. This bright and stormy planet has fast rotations (it takes 10 hours to rotate)
causing the constant swirling clouds. Scientist believe Jupiter's core is a ball of molten
rock, six times hotter than the surface of the Sun. This enormous planet has at least 61
moons and the shortest day (10 hours). This stormy planet of racing clouds of gas has
a huge storm named The Great Eye, and it is three times the size of EARTH!!
