Referat
PLANET JUPITER (Physik referat (physics in english project) Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, and has the most number of moons that we currently know about: 16. It is several times larger than Earth and is the fourth brightest object in Earth s skies beaten only by the sun , the moon and Venus , though occasionally Mars will outshine it. In astronomical units Jupiter is 5.203 Aus from the sun , which translates into 778.3 million kilometers. It s day is approximately 9 Earth hours long, and it takes 11.86 of our years before Jupiter completes one of it s own. Jupiter , as gas giant, has no actual solid mass like some of the other planets, but is instead comprised of varying gases and clouds, including helium, methane and hydrogen. Deep within the planet , however the pressure is so immense that the gas starts becoming liquid instead. A few scientists have begun to refer to Jupiter as a fluid planet. It was recently discovered that Jupiter has a faint ring of it s own, just as some of the other outer planets do. In contrast to Saturn s bright rings Jupiter s rings are darker for some at the moment unknown reasons. The pull of gravity is well over twice that of Earth and it gives off approximately twice the heat that it take in from the sun . The moons of Jupiter are very fascinating in and of themselves. Eight of them orbit in an entirely different direction than the four which are the closest to their mother planet and it hast been suspected that the eight ...
