Jupiter----Another
Sun to be
Among
nine planets, Jupiter is the largest one and its mass is heavier
than that of the combining planets. Jupiter has 16 satellites;
therefore, it is named "Mini Solar System." In the 17th Century,
Galileo observed Jupiter and its satellites; he thought this is
another solar system. This discovery inspired the finding of earth
rotation.
Jupiter
is similar with the Sun and it has large amount of hydrogen and
helium. If mass of Jupiter is 80, then it can condense material
and induce nuclear core reaction by increasing temperature. It
will generate light and heat and becomes a fixed star.
It
looks like many striped belts surrounding Jupiter. It is caused
by fast spanned speed and convection. The bright parts are the
condensation of gases and they are able to reflect strong sunray.
The darker parts were form due to clear inner side and weak reflecting
ability. It looks darker and enables us to explore the deeper
side.
