Description
Jupiter, illustration. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest. It has a diameter more than ten times that of Earth and a volume of over 1000 Earths. It is a gas giant and is mostly hydrogen and helium. High pressures and temperatures give rise to liquid hydrogen in the interior. The outer surface clouds are coloured by trace chemical elements and blown by high winds to form bands and long-lived storm systems such as the Great Red Spot (lower right).
