It has storms that last for centuries and its rocky
center core is totally covered by a massive sea of
liquid hydrogen. Jupiter isn’t anyone’s idea of a
great summer vacation spot!
Stormy Spot
J
upiter is the largest planet in our solar system.
So, why is a day on Jupiter so short? It’s only
about ten Earth hours long. That means there is a
sunset every ten hours!
The fast rotational speed of Jupiter is one of the
reasons why there are so many storms on the
planet. Wind speeds on Jupiter can reach nearly
400 miles per hour. The big storm known as the
Great Red Spot may be one giant storm that
scientists think has been going on for many
years. How many years? Do the math:
Winds on Jupiter
reach over
400 miles
per hour.
The most
fierce
hurricane
winds
on Earth
reach
just over
150 miles
per hour.

AND
TOWING
For many years, scientists
said that Jupiter had 16
moons. But in recent years,
more objects have been
discovered that could be
moons, or satellites —
possibly another 47 moons!
It will take awhile to know
if these are actually all
moons. Some are round
like ours and some are
irregular shapes.

How Jupiter Got Its Name
The Romans knew of seven bright objects in the sky: the sun, the
moon and the five brightest planets. They named them after their
most important gods. Jupiter, the largest planet, was named after
the king of the Roman gods. Jupiter was the son of another
Roman god with a name you’ll recognize. Follow the maze to
discover the name.
