GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Jupiter is the fifth planet from our Sun and is, by far, the largest planet in the solar system – more than twice as massive as all the other planets combined. Jupiter’s stripes and swirls are actually cold, windy clouds of ammonia and water, floating in an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium.

Detailed explanation-2: -In our Solar System, there are two objects larger than this teeny star. One is the Sun, obviously. The other is Jupiter, like a giant scoop of ice cream, coming in with a mean radius of 69, 911 kilometres.

Detailed explanation-3: -Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system because it had the largest foundation to attract matter as a protoplanet. In the formation of the solar system 4.5 billion years ago, each planet formed from a protoplanet foundation, a collection of dust and gas that did not fall into the sun.
