  1. Done by Devante, Davon, Malik, and Tyrell. Jupiter For president

  2. Facts about Jupiter • Jupiter has a mass 318 times greater than the Earth's and a diameter that is 11 times larger. • Jupiter rotates faster than any planet in the Solar System. • It rotates so quickly that the days are only 10 hours long. • Unlike other planets, Jupiter sends out a strong radio radiation that can be detected on Earth. • In 1994, pieces of a comet called shoemaker-Levy 9 broke apart and crashed into Jupiter. This left patches in Jupiter's atmosphere that lasted for many months.

  3. More information • Jupiter's atmosphere is composed of about 90% hydrogen and 10 % helium. There are only minute traces (0.07%) of methane (CH3), water, ammonia, and rock dust. The outer mantle is liquid hydrogen; the inner mantle is liquid metallic hydrogen.

  6. Tilt, year, and day of Jupiter • Day is 10 hours long. • Its tilt is 3.13°. It doesn’t have seasons. • One year on Jupiter is 11.86 Earth years.
