SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The Galileo spacecraft and probe traveled as one for almost six years. In July 1995, the probe was released to begin a solo flight into Jupiter. Five months later, the probe sliced into Jupiter’s atmosphere at 106, 000 mph (47 kilometers per second).

Detailed explanation-2: -Atmosphere and Weather: Jupiter’s extremely dense and relatively dry atmosphere is composed of a mixture of hydrogen, helium and much smaller amounts of methane and ammonia. The same mixture of elements which made Jupiter also made the Sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -Voyager 1. Voyager 1 successfully flew by both the Jupiter and Saturn systems before continuing out into the farthest most reaches of our solar system. Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to study all four of the solar system’s giant planets at close range.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer. Examples of each type of space probe include Voyager 2 (interplanetary), Magellan (orbiter), and Pathfinder (lander).

Detailed explanation-5: -The most precise measurements of composition were made on Jupiter by the Galileo entry probe in 1995; as a result, we know the abundances of some elements in the jovian atmosphere even better than we know those in the Sun.

Detailed explanation-6: -Launched in March 1972, Pioneer 10 was the first spacecraft to visit Jupiter when it flew by the gas giant in December 1973 on its way to the farthest regions of the Solar System. Its twin probe, Pioneer 11, made its closest approach to Jupiter on December 1974.
