Presentation transcript:

IQ Jupiter is made of hydrogen (~75%) and helium (~24%), making it similar in composition to the Sun. T F

IQ T. It is true! Both the Sun and Jupiter are about 75% hydrogen, 24% helium and 1% everything else (by mass). This is also very close to the composition of the universe, in general!

IQ The Great Red Spot in Jupiter’s atmosphere is thought to be: A. A planetary “belly button.” B. The location of a subsurface black hole. C. A long-lived storm similar to a cyclone on Earth. Jupiter’s north magnetic pole.

IQ The correct answer is C, a long-lived storm. The center of the Red Spot is high altitude clouds, and the atmosphere circulates counter clockwise at about 400 miles per hour.

IQ Jupiter radiates more heat than it receives from the Sun. T F.

IQ True! Jupiter radiates infrared radiation (heat) at about twice the rate that the Sun heats the planet! The planet is still contracting, thus generating energy.

IQ The Galilean satellites of Jupiter exhibit BOTH rotational and orbital resonances. T F

IQ T. Each of the four Galilean satellites is in synchronous rotation. The inner three moons exhibit 1:2 and 1:4 orbital resonances, as well!

IQ Io, the innermost of the Galilean satellites, probably has water oceans. T F

IQ F! False. Io is a rocky world kept very hot by gravitational interactions with Jupiter, Europa and Ganymeade. Europa probably has a warm water ocean!
