| Galea, Emily World Geo. – 4 Sept. 17, 2004 O.R. #1 Jupiter Jupiter is a planet with 4 well-known moons, which were discovered by Galileo, but it has at least 39. The composition of the planet resembles something like a star instead of a terrestrial world. It is twice as massive as all of the other planets combined. If it had been 100 times more massive at birth, it would have been a star instead of a planet. Jupiter is almost entirely made of gas and liquid, and a never-ending storm rages on the surface of this sphere, seen quite easily in the pictures taken. I. Jupiter has 4 well-known moons. A. Europa, Ganymede, Io, and Callisto are the biggest satellites. B. In just May of 2002, 11 of the 39 moons were discovered. 1. These were only about 2-4 km in diameter. 2. They have a highly elliptical retrograde about the planet about 21 km from it. C. These moons, along with the planet, are being studied currently by the Galileo spacecraft. II. The planet is made mostly of liquid and gas. A. These planets haven’t a solid surface. B. The core is probably made of rock, 10 to 15 times our Earth-mass. C. What we see when we look at this planet is the tops of storm clouds, made of gas and stuff. III. The storm upon Jupiter hasn’t subsided since the planet’s birth. A. Jupiter has three distinct cloud layers: 1. The first, lowest, is ammonia ice. 2. The second, middle layer is made of ammonium hydrosulfide 3. The third is made of a mixture of ice and water, but mostly just H2O B. Jupiter was expected to contain twice the amount of oxygen, but it may not have as much water in its atmosphere as we thought. C. The Great Red Spot of Jupiter is an oval about 12,000 to 25,000 km, big enough to hold two Earths in it. D. Jupiter’s winds are thought to be driven by the extreme heat of the planet’s core, along with all the varying magnetic fields. 1. The darker colored bands are called belts, the lighter colored ones are called zones. 2. Belts and zones and made by the different directions of wind over the planet stir the different colored clouds. 3. The different colors of the clouds are due to the slight chemical and temperature levels in the different winds bands. E. The winds of Jupiter are over 400 mph!
