Planet Jupiter

The universe is a mysterious place in our solar system with galaxies and stars. The universe has eight planets orbiting the sun, namely Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Each planet is very different from each other and unique in its own way. Like Jupiter, which is an incredible planet with many astonishing facts. This is amazing facts about Jupiter
In addition to a large, Jupiter also merupakat fastest planet in orbit around. It only took about ten hours to complete one rotation. The rotational speed contributed to the strong magnetic field that surrounds the planet with radiation.
There is a ring around Jupiter. The main ring of dust left over from the current meteoroid collided with a four-month (Thebes, Metis, Adrastea and Almathea). Scientists have recently discovered ring Samara resembles a donut shape with halo ring name.
The storm that occurred on Jupiter has some similarities with the storms on Earth. Storms on Jupiter does not last long, an average of 3-4 days. But big storms can occur due to strong dust which makes moist air rises to the top of the troposphere that turns into a cloud including lightning. Powerful storm on Jupiter is much larger than on Earth. Experienced major storms on Jupiter once every 15-17 years.
So far, Jupiter has 63 months, 4 months of the so-called Galilee discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei. The moon is Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. Ganymede is the largest moon-sized 3270 miles. What is interesting is that contains Io volcanoes, lava lakes and large caldera. Mount on Io may reach a height of 52,000 feet or 16 kilometers.
In 1665, Giovanni Cassini astronim the first time identified a large red spot on Jupiter. Looks like a storm giant with size 40 000 km. However, the current size is only half of its original size. The planet is composed of solid hydrogen, water, nitrogen, helium. And ion winds cause storms with lightning (similar to a large red dot)
