Jupiter Vs. Jupiter: Planetary Atmosphere

Io is the innermost of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. It is the third largest moon of Jupiter out of the 67 known moons. Io is the most geologically active object in our solar system with over 400 active volcanoes. Because of the activity of volcanoes Io's atmosphere is mostly made up of sulphur dioxide (SO2). As Io intersects Jupiter's orbits, Jupiter's magnetic field converts Io into an electric generator, as the massive planet rotates a ton of Io's material is stripped away. But, this does not affect the moon, because of the heavy activity of volcanoes the molten lava which is spewed all over the planet cools and becomes a solid. Craters in the planet are filled and soon become lava lakes before becoming a solid once again. Io surface

The Jovian (gas) planets formed by a similar process but with less solid materials and with much more gas that was blown further out by the solar winds. Jupiter and the rest of the gas giant probably contain a solid core, of rock and other metals. Although none of the gas planets have a solid surface like we do on earth, only a thicker and thicker atmosphere until reaching the core. It’s important to note, that because Jupiter is so large (317 times the mass of the earth, 1321 times bigger by volume), and has such large pressure on the interior, elements found as gases on earth could possibly be a solid or vice versa. For example, metallic hydrogen (which is a state where hydrogen behaves as an electrical conductor) is only still a theory since we are unable to create the pressures needed here on earth. Metallic hydrogen is known as the Holy Grail in high pressure physics.

American society is shaped to accept and favour traditionally conventional identities, whilst rejecting and abhorring identities that do not fit that mould. In Ocean Vuong's poetry collection, Night Sky with Exit Wounds, the exploration of language and power dynamics is evident, ultimately reflecting the complexities of identity and the pressures that societal expectations can have on one’s sense of self. As a result of these rigid confines, many individuals face an internal battle, thereby pushing them to behave within society's conformities whilst suppressing their true identity and sense of self. Thus, with a limited view of a paternal figure and a lack of affirmations of paternal love, one's identity is constricted and ultimately fragmented.

Have you ever wondered how the planets got their names? By comparing the characteristics and stories of gods with that of planets, the mystery behind the names of the planets will be unveiled.

Let's see what Neptune is made of. The outermost layer of Neptune is the atmosphere, forming about 5-10% of the planet's mass, and extending up to 20% of the way down to its core. Neptune's atmosphere is about 80%hydrogen, 19% helium, with trace amounts of other ices, like methane, ammonia and water- ice www.universetoday.com/21596/what-is-neptune-made-of/

in our solar system; better known as the king of the gods. He feared nothing and hurled thunderbolts to bring order to situations if he was angered or wanted to bring order to things. He did this on earth and the realm of the gods to strike fear into them. Juno was the sister of Jupiter, as well as his wife; making her the queen of the gods. She was known to watch over and protect the women of Rome. Jupiter’s brother Pluto had been the god of the underworld he was feared beyond all others. Jupiter and Juno had a son named Mars. The majority of people did not like Mars, including his brothers and sisters. He was the god of war and was known to be cruel, arrogant and merciless. Jupiters other son Mercury was a messenger god. He was well known

Uranus and Neptune are distinctively bluer than Jupiter and Saturn, because Uranus and Neptune both have atmospheres that contain significant amounts of methane. Uranus's atmospheric composition is 2.3% methane, and Neptune's is 3% methane. Methane resides in the upper atmosphere of these planets, where the temperature is low. Methane and water condense to form ice crystals in the upper atmosphere, and because methane freezes at a lower temperature than water, methane forms the higher clouds in the atmosphere. Methane absorbs red light and scatters blue and green, giving these planets their blue-green color. In comparison to size, Jupiter and Saturn both contain a small rocky terrestrial core which is surrounded by liquid metallic hydrogen,

Galileo spacecraft first discovered the four largest moon of Jupiter, called Io, Europa, Ganymede and Ganymede and Callisto. Ganymede is the largest moon in the Solar System Atmosphere And Planetary Composition: Temperature Range: The cloud-tops average 120 K=153*C=-244*F. Atmosphere: Jupiter is a gaseous planet; it does not have a solid surface like the Earth does (but probably has a solid, rocky core 10 to 15 times the mass of the Earth). When we look at Jupiter, we are seeing icy clouds of gases moving at high speeds in the atmosphere. Jupiter's atmosphere is composed of about 90% hydrogen and 10% helium.

The distance from the sun when inquiring about terrestrial planets is that the terrestrial planets are closer to the sun and the Jovian planets are farther away. The sizes of the Jovian planets are larger than the terrestrial planets. The atmosphere of terrestrial planets is composed of carbon dioxide and nitrogen gases, while the Jovian planets contain an abundance of hydrogen and helium gases are found in their atmosphere. The Terrestrial planets satellites are few in number. The Jovian planets, satellites are more in number. One of the main differences that are seen between terrestrial and Jovian planets is their surfaces. The terrestrial planets are made of solid surfaces, while the Jovian planets are made of gaseous surfaces. Another example

Neptune is one of the gas giants. It’s composed mainly of hydrogen and some helium. However,

Jupiter is composed of mostly helium and hydrogen, much like the Sun. Jupiter is said to have formed 4.5 billion years ago. It formed when gravity pulled together dust and the remnants of the formation of the Sun. Jupiter has a metallic/molecular hydrogen core.

Europa is the sixth of Jupiter's moons and the fourth largest. Europa is named after a Phoenician princess who was abducted by Zeus and taken to the island of Crete to be his lover. Europa was discovered by Galileo Galilei and possibly Simon Marius in 1610 and is one of the four Galilean satellites. The others being: Io, Ganymede, and Callisto. Europa is very different from the other moons of Jupiter. Instead of a rocky, cratered surface like Callisto and Ganymede, it instead has a smooth outer surface of cracked ice. There are very few sign of craters on Europa. In fact, only three large craters have been found. This indicates that Europa's surface is very young and active. In photographs sent back by orbiters, the surface resembles sea ice on Earth. Astronomers believe that beneath this layer of ice may exist an ocean, kept liquid by the moon's internal heat. This liquid ocean could be as much as 30 miles deep. The existence of deep ocean vents on the ocean floor on Earth have led some scientists to speculate that there could be a possibility of life on Europa. Around these deep sea vents on Earth are life forms that do not need sunlight to survive. They instead feed on bacteria that get their nutrients from chemicals seeping up from the ocean floor. This process is known as chemosynthesis. Scientists believe that similar life forms could evolve on Europa if a liquid ocean does indeed exist beneath its frozen surface.

Uncovering the mysteries of Jupiter is a crucial step for a greater understanding of our Solar System. Being the massive planet that it is, this mysterious planet may hold many answers to how our the Solar System formed and evolved. The understanding of the origins of the universe includes answers even to the formation of Earth itself. Many believe that the research of Jupiter will lead to discoveries on planet formation and the role of giant planets on the formation f stars and other smaller bodies. Mysteries of Jupiter include its composition, what is under its clouds, what is in its core and its magnetic field. Research on the amount of water in the planet will tell us about the

Jupiter is a gas planet with a possible chance of a core. On the outside of Jupiter, what we can see, is its atmosphere. Jupiter’s atmosphere is layered. It contains hydrogen, helium (a

The knowledge of what the inner core is made up is still and will remain unknown until we can create a satellite that can make into the atmosphere of Jupiter and the other gas planets. Jupiter's atmosphere was also found to be quite turbulent. It is also know that Jupiter spins faster than any other planet. This indicates that Jupiter's winds are driven in large part by its internal heat rather than from solar input as on Earth. The vivid colors seen in Jupiter's clouds are probably the result of subtle chemical reactions of the trace elements in Jupiter's atmosphere, perhaps involving sulfur whose compounds take on a wide variety of colors, but the details are unknown. The colors correlate with the cloud's altitude: blue lowest, followed by browns and whites, with reds highest. Sometimes we see the lower layers through holes in the upper ones. Then we have the Great Red Spot that everyone can identify as Jupiter. This reddish color of the “Great Red Spot” is a puzzle to scientist, but several chemicals, including phosphorus, have been proposed as a reason. In fact, the color and mechanisms driving the appearance of the entire atmosphere are still not well understood. This spot has been seen by Earthly observers for more than 300 years. Robert Hooke discovered it in the 17th century. The GRS is an oval about 12,000 by 25,000 km, big enough to hold two Earths. Another interesting feature about Jupiter is that it
