SOLAR SYSTEM

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: -Ex 9.17 The planet Jupiter is more than 300 times as massive as Earth, so it might seem that a body on the surface of Jupiter would weigh 300 times as much as on Earth. But it so happens that a body would scarcely weigh three times more on the surface of Jupiter as it would on the surface of Earth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest planet in our solar system. Like fellow gas giant Jupiter, Saturn is a massive ball made mostly of hydrogen and helium. Saturn is not the only planet to have rings, but none are as spectacular or as complex as Saturn’s.

Detailed explanation-4: -Jupiter is 90% hydrogen1, with 10% helium and a sprinkle of all the other elements. In the gas giant’s outer layers, hydrogen is a gas just like on Earth. As you go deeper, intense atmospheric pressure gradually turns the gas into a dense fluid.

Detailed explanation-5: -Jupiter has 300 times the mass of Earth, but is less dense. It is by far the largest planet in our solar system and has 2 1/2 times the mass of all the solar system’s planets put together.
