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.
