than Earth but its crust in relation to its size is much has a larger ratio than Earth’s. Magnetic field is also a way that solar system objects differ. To have a magnetic field, the object must have a spinning core of metal. Jupiter and Earth differ in magnetic fields with Jupiter having a magnetic field ten times that of Earth’s. The atmospheres of planets are different throughout the solar system. An example of this is that Jupiter’s atmosphere is made up of mostly hydrogen, Earth’s atmosphere is

Galileo Galilei was an Italian scientist who built on the new theories during the Scientific Revolution. The Scientific Revolution was a period that historians describe as emergence of modern during the mid 1500’s to about the end of the 1600’s. As a young man Galileo, learned of an object that could make far away objects seem bigger. The object he is referring to the the telescope the Dutch lens make built. Galileo built his own in 1609, used it to study space, the stars, and “The “Heavens”. Was

Europa, is the smallest of the four Galilean moons orbiting Jupiter, and the sixth-closest to the planet. With its icy crust and temperatures never rising more than minus 220 C (370 F). life on this moon seems impossible, but this icy rock may surprise you. Astronomers believe that there is an ocean underneath the ice that might be similar to Earth’s. “...there is a possibility that there could be life in a global scale ocean, beneath its icy shell.” - Bob Pappalardo. If we were to live on Europa

This proposed a problem because Europa is bathed in Jupiter’s radiation which would quickly cook any spacecrafts. Instead, the missions that NASA have proposed have a satellite orbiting Jupiter and taking flyby scans of Europa. The satellite would only expose itself to a small amount of radiation before getting out of range. This would allow a mission that could last for years, taking many scans of Europa. This method would encounter Europa

site.), are terrestrial planets (Links to an external site.), being primarily composed of rock and metal. The four outer planets are giant planets (Links to an external site.), being substantially more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest, Jupiter and Saturn (Links to an external site.), are gas giants (Links to an external site.), being composed mainly of hydrogen (Links to an external site.) and helium (Links to an external site.); the two outermost planets, Uranus (Links to an external site

all similar in composition. Due to the rest of the planets being Earth-like, they gained their name from the Latin word terra meaning land or Earth. The Jovian planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are the four planets furthest from the Sun. The three most outer planets are categorized as Jovian planets due to their Jupiter-like composition. In contrast to the terrestrial planets, the Jovian planets differ greatly in general structure, size and density due to their elemental composition.

through it. The important Roman gods were worshipped for their power and the assistance they could give to people that presented acceptable tributes. Jupiter was worshipped because he was the king of the gods, and he controlled the sky. Jupiter could strike people down with lightning bolts. It was said that any who did evil would be punished by him. Jupiter was made a part of the First and Second Triads of Rome (Wasson, 2017). The Romans made him a part of both triads so he would watch over them just

Jupiter was the king of the Roman Gods. The Romans believed in Jupiter while the Greeks believed in Zeus, but it was the same God they worshiped. See what is different about them later in the second paragraph.He ruled the sky and thunder. Jupiter was a Roman God who was known by the Greeks as Zeus.Jupiter had the responsibility to rule the sky. He was in a triad called the Capitoline Triad along with Juno and Minerva.He was the King of Roman Gods. He was also the King of olympian Gods. He was the

If there was a bathtub big enough to hold saturn it would float in the water. Jupiter, is the giant of the solar system, with a mass more than 300 times the mass of the earth and is called after the ancient Roman sky god, Jupiter, Known as to the Greeks as zeus. Neptune, is one of the four “Gas Giants”. Like Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, it is composed only of gas. Neptune is a great ball of hydrogen and helium. Neptune moves in an orbit round the

The Io Volcano Observer (IVO) is one mission under the New Frontiers program planned to launch on May 29th, 2021 and reach Jupiter by 2026. Led by Alfred McEwen of the University of Arizona, it is focused on observing one of Jupiter’s satellites, Io, which has been deemed one of the best satellites for studying tidal heating and the histories of terrestrial planets due to its active volcanic surface. The aforementioned tidal heating is directly correlated to the habitable zones of planetary systems
