Jupiter

Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system.  It is one thousand times as big as the Earth. Some people call Jupiter “The King of the Planets”.

Jupiter has 63 moons.  A moon is something that spins around a planet.  Jupiter has clouds, lots of clouds that are stripy.

Jupiter spins on its axis once every 10 hours.  A Jupiter day last 10 hours.   Jupiter goes around the Sun in 1 Jupiter year, the Earth goes around the sun in 12 Jupiter years.  My brother is almost 1 Jupiter year old.

Jupiter is the 5th planet from the sun.  Jupiter is a ball of gas that gravity pulls together

This is a picture of Jupiter from Voyager that went there in 1995.
