What is at the Core of Jupiter?
Jupiter is the largest and fastest rotating planet among the eight planets in the solar system, and the fifth planet from the inside out. Its mass is one thousandth of that of the sun and 2.5 times the mass of the other seven planets in the solar system combined. Because Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are gas planets, the four are also called Jupiter-like planets (Jupiter and Saturn are collectively called gas giant planets). Jupiter is a gas giant, accounting for 70% of the mass of all solar system planets. It is mainly composed of hydrogen, which accounts for 75% of its total mass, followed by helium, which accounts for 25% of its total mass, and the core contains other heavier elements. What people see is usually the top of the clouds in the atmosphere, with a pressure slightly higher than 1 atmosphere.

- Jupiter has the largest planetary atmosphere in the solar system, spanning more than 5,000km (3,107mi). Because Jupiter has no solid surface, its atmospheric basis is generally considered to be where the atmospheric pressure is equal to 1 MPa (10 bar), or ten times the pressure on the Earth's surface.

Jupiter impact event
- On March 24, 1993, American astronomers Eugene Sumek and Caroline Sumek and astronomy enthusiast David Levy found a 46-cm astronomical telescope at Palomar Observatory in California, USA. The comet was named Comet Sumyk-Levi 9 after their last name. After the comet was discovered more than a year and two months later, from July 16 to 22, 1994, it broke into 21 fragments, the largest of which was about 4 kilometers wide and was fired at a speed of 60 kilometers per second. Usually hit Jupiter. [13]
- Comet Sumyk-Levi 9 hits Jupiter
- On July 21, 2009, Anthony Wesley, an amateur astronomy enthusiast in Australia, found that Jupiter was hit by a comet or asteroid at 1 am using his 14.5-inch reflective telescope in his backyard, leaving an impact the size of Earth on the surface of Jupiter. trace. NASA s Jet Propulsion Laboratory confirmed Wesley s discovery at 9 pm on the 20th, and confirmed on the 21st that Jupiter was hit again by other stars within a relatively short period of time in the past, leaving a black scar near the south pole of Jupiter. An earth-sized hole appears in Jupiter's atmosphere. [14]
- On June 3, 2010, amateur astronomers in Australia astronomers observed the impact of a comet, causing fewer events than previously observed. Later, another amateur astronomer in the Philippines also video-captured the incident.
Jupiter Alien Life
- In 1953, the Miller-Yuri experiment proved that the combination of lightning and compounds that existed in the primitive earth's atmosphere can form organic matter (including amino acids), which can be used as the cornerstone of life. The simulated atmospheric composition is water, methane, ammonia, and hydrogen molecules; all of these materials are found in today's Jupiter atmosphere. Jupiter's atmosphere has strong vertical air flows that carry these compounds into lower areas. But higher temperatures in Jupiter's interior will decompose these chemicals and hinder the formation of Earth-like life. [15]
- In Jupiter, because there is only a small amount of water in Jupiter's atmosphere, and any solid surface is in a region where the pressure is deep, it is considered impossible to have any Earth-like life. In 1976, before the Voyager mission, it was assumed that ammonia and water-based life might evolve in the upper layers of Jupiter's atmosphere. This hypothesis is based on the marine environment of the earth. There are simple photosynthetic plankton on the top layer. Fish in the lower layer can feed these creatures, while carnivorous marine life can hunt them.
- On some of Jupiter's satellites, there may be oceans below the surface, leading to the possibility that these satellites are more likely to have biological existence.
Jupiter mythology
- Jupiter, because it is easy to see with the naked eye at night, and occasionally during the day when the sun is low, is known since ancient times. In Babylon, this celestial body represents their god Marduk. They used Jupiter's orbit around the zodiac for about 12 years to define their zodiac sign.
- The Romans named it Jupiter (Latin: Iuppiter, Ipiter, also known as Jova) according to mythology. It is the main god in Roman mythology. Its name comes from the Hog synthesis of the original Indo-European language. * Dyu-pter (subject: * Dyus-ptr , meaning "O Father of O God" or "O Father of O God"). In contrast, Jupiter corresponds to the Greek mythology Zeus (Z), also known as Dias (), where the planet names are still retained in modern Greek.
- In Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, this planet is called Jupiter based on the five elements of China. Taoism in China is personified as a blessing, and the Greeks call it ; Phaethon , "blazing". In Vedic astrology, Jupiter is known as the Brihaspati and is a religious teacher who inspires spirituality, often called Guru, which literally means "heavy people".
- In English, Thursday is derived from Thor's day, which is in Germanic mythology. Compared to Roman mythology is Jupiter. Roman Week's Jovis has also been renamed Thursday.
- In Turkic mythology, Jupiter is called "Erendiz / Erentüz", which means "eren (?) + Yultuz (star)", and there are many meaningful theories about "eren". Similarly, they also calculated that Jupiter's orbital period is 11 years and 300 days. They believe that some social and natural events are linked to the operation in heaven. Li Shangyin's "Ma Ji" in the sentence "How the Four Ages are heavenly sons, is not as bad as the Lu family." The "Ji" is Jupiter's revolution cycle.
