It takes Jupiter 12 years to orbit the sun and about 10 hours to rotate on its axis. Jupiter has at least 63 moons, including four large ones discovered by Galileo in 1610 using one of the earliest telescopes. Jupiter's surface is made of thick clouds and features a massive storm called the Great Red Spot that has raged for over 300 years.

    If Jupiter were a person, it might run around


    chanting Im number one! Im number one! Thats
    because Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar
    system and the one that spins the fastest. It also has
    the most moons of any planet and the largest
    moon. Jupiter also has the strongest gravity of all the planets. Ancient astronomers knew what
    they were doing when they named Jupiter after the Roman king of the gods.
    It would take about a thousand Earths to fill up Jupiter. But for a gigantic planet, Jupiter moves
    very fast. It rotates on its axis about every ten hours, compared to Earth which takes 24 hours.
    Jupiter takes about 12 years to orbit the sun.
    Jupiter isnt first in everything. Its the fifth planet from the sun and its only the third brightest
    object in the night sky, behind the moon and Venus.
    Jupiter is one of the gas giants. Its surface is made of thick red, brown, yellow, and white
    clouds. One huge area of that surface is called the Great Red Spot. Thats where a storm
    three times bigger than Earth has raged for more than 300 years! Imagine winds stronger than
    a hurricane lasting for centuries.
    Jupiter has at least 63 moons. Most are fairly small, but four are quite large. They were first
    discovered by the astronomer Galileo in the year 1610 using one of the earliest telescopes. The
    largest of Jupiters moons is named Ganymede. Its even bigger than the planet Mercury!
    Six space probes have traveled to Jupiter, so scientists have a lot of information about the
    planet. You can do your own study of Jupiter just by staring at the night sky. If you see a really
    bright star thats high in the sky, youre probably seeing Jupiter, the number one planet.
