Jupiter’s measurments
Mass: 1.898x10^24 Volume: 1,431,281,810,739,360 Km^3 Density: 1.33 grams per cubic centimeter Jupiter would sink in a body of water Gravity: m
6
Jupiter’s atmosphere Made up of mostly hydrogen 10% of helium
Little amounts of ammonia, sulfur, methane and water vapor. Very thick atmosphere
7
Distances Order from the sun: 5th
Distance from the sun: 741 Km/4.95 AU Distance from Earth: 628,743,036 to 928,081,020 Km
8
Temperature It varies to degrees Celsius to 35,500 degrees Celsius. That is times the temperature of earth and times the temperature of Florida.
9
