Jupiter is one of the mystery, which is made of mostly (1) ___________________________. There’s no (2)

___________________________ of atmosphere.

Firstly, besides no oxygens, the other problem is the (4) ___________________________, so pack an air
conditioner. Now you’re ready for a journey of (5) ___________________________.

You will travel at (6) ___________________________ under the pull of Jupiter’s gravity once entering the
top of the atmosphere and quickly hit the (7) ___________________________ below, which will hit you like a
wall. You will reach the cloud tops 155 miles down where you experience the full (8) ____________________
after 3 mins.

One day on Jupiter equals about nine-and-a-half Earth hours. About 75 miles below the clouds, you
reach the limit of (9) ________________________ which lasted 58 minutes before losing contact and was
eventually destroyed by the (10) ___________________________.

By 430 miles down, the pressure is (11) ___________________________. One chancee to survive down
here is that a spacecraft built like the Trieste submarine, the (12) ___________________________ on Earth.
However, you will uncover some of (13) ___________________________.

Once you’ve reached 2,500 miles down, the temperature is (14) ___________________________. At this
point, you will have been falling for at least 12 hours and you won’t be halfway through.

At 13,000 miles down, you’ll reach (15) ___________________________, where the temperature is hotter
than the surface of the sun. These conditions are so harsh that they change the (16)
___________________________ around. When you travel deeper, the (17) ___________________________ from
the metallic hydrogen counteracts (18) ___________________________. Eventually, that buoyancy will shoot
you back up until gravity pulls you right back down, sort of like a yo-yo and when those two forces equal,
you’ll be left (19) ___________________________ in mid-Jupiter, unable to move up or down and no way of
escape.

Su ce it to say, trying to land on Jupiter is a bad idea. We may never see what’s beneath those (20)
___________________________. But we can still study and admire this mysterious planet from afar.
