What tool would we use to study Jupiter’s atmosphere?
A
Space probe
B
Satellite
C
Rover
D
Telescope
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -"JIRAM will study Jupiter’s atmospheric composition and measure the concentration of key gases such as water, ammonia and phosphine.

Detailed explanation-2: -While Jupiter has been known since ancient times, the first detailed observations of this planet were made by Galileo Galilei in 1610 with a small telescope. More recently, this planet has been visited by passing spacecraft, orbiters and probes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, is currently being studied by NASA’s Juno probe. But Juno is just one of nine spacecraft to have visited the gas giant, with several other pioneering missions on the horizon, namely the European Space Agency’s (ESA) JUICE and NASA’s Europa Clipper.

Detailed explanation-4: -It appeared that Jupiter’s atmosphere is drier than had been previously thought. Measurements from the probe showed few clouds, and lightning only in the distance. It was only later that we discovered that the probe had entered an area called a “hot spot."

Detailed explanation-5: -High-energy Particle Detectors. Voyager’s Cosmic Ray Subsystem (CRS). Low-Energy Charged-Particle Detectors. Plasma Instruments. Dust Detectors. Magnetometers. Plasma Wave Detectors. Mass Spectrometers. Planetary Radio Astronomy Instruments. More items

Detailed explanation-6: -A gravity/radio science system (Gravity Science) A six-wavelength microwave radiometer for atmospheric sounding and composition (MWR) A vector magnetometer (MAG) Plasma and energetic particle detectors (JADE and JEDI) A radio/plasma wave experiment (Waves) More items •18-Mar-2022
