This week and last week for writing we have been doing information reports on planets. It was very fun to write this information report because I got to learn new things about the planet Jupiter. This was challenging because before this I didn't know much about Jupiter so thanks to this I now know a lot. If you have done something like this tell me in the comments.
Here it is:
Jumbo Jupiter!
Introduction
Did you know that Jupiter is the biggest planet in our whole solar system!?
Jupiter is one of our gas giants in our solar system just like Saturn & Uranus. If Jupiter was about 80x bigger than it is it could have been a star! Jupiter is one of the biggest objects in our solar system. Jupiter has 69, 911 km across in some places making it absolutely gigantic.
Size
Jupiter is bigger than all the planets combined in mass. It is the largest planet in our solar system. You could fit around 1,000 jupiters in our sun. Jupiter is home to the largest moon in our solar system named ganymede. Jupiter is 11 times wider than earth.
Appearance
Jupiter is home to the great red spot. Which is actually a giant storm which has been raging on Jupiter's surface. Jupiter is often an orangey yellow colour with the occasional spot of red which are storms. Sometimes Jupiter has different shaped storms because they don’t always stay in the same spot. Jupiter looks very small in our sky but that is because we are so far away.
What's it made of?
Jupiter is made of gases just like Saturn and some other planets. Some of the gases it contains are hydrogen and helium. You can’t stand on the surface of Jupiter because it is gas. Gas is slightly see through and you go straight through it. Jupiter's atmosphere holds all the gas in place so it just doesn’t all disappear and float away.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Jupiter is a very fascinating planet and lots about it has been discovered but I believe there is much more to be uncovered. Jupiter is one of the most interesting planets because of the storms & that it's a gas giant. Do you think Jupiter is as interesting as I do, because it definitely is.
