The planet Jupiter is the largest planet, exceeding the mass of the Earth by approximately 318 times.
It consists mainly of hydrogen and helium.
The high temperature inside the planet causes many vortex structures in its atmosphere, for example, cloud bands.
Jupiter has 65 satellites, the 4 largest of which (Ganymede, Europa, Io and Callisto) in some moments resemble the planets of the terrestrial group. For example, they are characterized by internal heating and volcanic activity. It is an interesting fact that the largest satellite Ganymede, which has no counterpart in the Solar System, is larger than Jupiter itself.
Jupiter’s magnetic field is so powerful that it enriches our planet’s magnetic field by billions of watts every day.
