    Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. It is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium and has a diameter of about 143,000 km. Jupiter orbits the sun once every 11.862 years at distances ranging from 740.5 million km at perihelion to 816.6 million km at aphelion. Jupiter has a prominent Great Red Spot storm feature and four large moons: Ganymede, Callisto, Io, and Europa.

    WHAT IS
    JUPITER?
    ORBITAL CHARACTERISTICS
    1. Kepler’s Law of Planetary Motion
    Following his second law, A planet moves fastest when its orbit brings it
    nearest to the Sun, known as a Perihelion. Thus bringing Jupiter’s Perihelion to
    approximately 740.52 million km. A planets moves its slowest when its furthest
    from the Sun called an Aphelion which would be 816.62 million km.
    2. Orbital Period

    sidereal period of 11.862 years, ASTRONOMER
    4332.59 days and 10,475.8 Jovian WHO
    Solar days.
    PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
    Jupiter is composed primarily of gaseous and liquid matter. It is
    the largest planet in the Solar System, with a diameter of
    142,984 km (88,846 mi) at its equator. The average density of
    Jupiter, 1.326 g/cm3, is the second highest of the giant planets,
    but lower than those of the four terrestrial planets.
    1. Composition
    Its upper atmosphere is about 88-92% hydrogen and 8-12%
    helium by percent volume. Jupiter’s atmosphere is
    approximately 75% hydrogen and 24% helium by mass
