Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest planet in the solar system.
Jupiter is a gas giant, made mostly of hydrogen and helium, with no solid surface.
Jupiter has at least 79 moons, including the four largest: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
Jupiter has the strongest magnetic field of any planet in the solar system, which creates intense radiation belts around the planet.
Jupiter has a thick atmosphere with alternating light and dark bands of clouds, and a large red spot, which is a giant storm that has been raging for over 300 years.
Jupiter rotates very quickly, with a day lasting only 9 hours and 56 minutes.
Jupiter's temperature varies greatly depending on the location in the atmosphere, with temperatures at the top of the clouds around -145°C and temperatures at the core estimated to be around 35,000°C.
Jupiter has been visited by several spacecraft, including the Galileo mission, which orbited the planet from 1995 to 2003 and sent a probe into the atmosphere.
Jupiter's gravitational pull is so strong that it affects the orbits of other planets and asteroids in the solar system.
Jupiter actually has rings, but they are very hard to see as they are too feint.
