Jupiter Facts. Jupiter is a world of extremes. It's the largest planet in our solar system – if it were a
hollow shell, 1,000 Earths could fit inside. It's also the oldest planet, forming from the dust and
gases left over from the Sun's formation 4.5 billion years ago.

Jupiter is surrounded by a faint planetary ring system and has a powerful magnetosphere, the
second largest contiguous structure in the Solar System (after the heliosphere). Jupiter forms a
system of 95 known moons and probably many more, including the four large moons discovered
by Galileo Galilei in 1610: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.

Mar 4, 2024 · Jupiter, the most massive planet in the solar system and the fifth in distance from
the Sun. It is one of the brightest objects in the night sky; only the Moon, Venus, and sometimes
Mars are more brilliant. Jupiter takes nearly 12 Earth years to orbit the Sun, and it rotates once
about every 10 hours.

Jupiter takes nearly 12 Earth years to orbit the Sun, and it rotates once about every 10 hours,
more than twice as fast as Earth.

The existence of Jupiter's ring was first suggested in 1974, as a result of findings from the
Pioneer 10 spacecraft as it approached the planet. Th...

Jupiter is the most massive planet in the solar system. It has an equatorial diameter of about
143,000 km (88,900 miles).

Planet Jupiter Overview. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and is, by far, the largest planet in
the solar system – more than twice as massive as all the other planets combined. Jupiter's stripes
and swirls are actually cold, windy clouds of ammonia and water, floating in an atmosphere of
hydrogen and helium.
