3. JUPITER

4. JUPITER
Jupiter's signature stripes and
swirls are cold, windy clouds of
ammonia and water, floating in
an atmosphere of hydrogen and
helium.

5. JUPITER
The dark orange stripes are called belts, while the lighter bands
are called zones (belts or the orange stripes flothoseatfrom east
to west in opposite directions)

6. JUPITER
Jupiter’s iconic Great Red Spot is a
giant storm bigger than Earth that
has raged for hundreds of years.

7. HISTORY OF THE
NAME JUPITER
Roman mythology provided the
names of most of the planets in the
solar system.

8. HISTORY OF THE
NAME JUPITER
The Ancient Romans gave name
mostly to the five planets

20. ATMOSPHERE IN JUPITER
Jupiter's atmosphere is mostly
HYDROGEN and HELIUM

22. JUPITER'S INTERIOR

23. JUPITER'S INTERIOR
Most of the interior of Jupiter is liquid
(primarily hydrogen and about 10% helium).

24. JUPITER'S INTERIOR
Most of the interior of Jupiter is liquid
(primarily hydrogen and about 10% helium).
The central temperatures are thought to lie in the
13,000-35,000 degrees Celsius range, and the central
pressure is about 100 million Earth atmospheres.

30. HOW MANY RINGS DOES
JUPITER HAVE?

31. HOW MANY RINGS DOES
JUPITER HAVE?
The Planet Jupiter has four (4)
rings in total

32. HOW MANY RINGS DOES
JUPITER HAVE?
The Planet Jupiter has four (4)
rings in total
Working outwards from the planet itself
there is the thick, inner ‘halo ring’, which is
12,500km thick.

33. HOW MANY RINGS DOES
JUPITER HAVE?
Then the ‘main ring’ which is very bright and
very thin, just 30km thick in some parts
And two thick but very faint
‘gossamer rings’.

36. MOONS IN JUPITER

38. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW
MANY MOON DOES THE
PLANET JUPITER HAS?

39. Jupiter has a total of 95 MOONS that have been officially
recognized by the International Astronomical Union.

41. IO
EUROPA
GANYMEDE
CALLISTO

42. IO

43. IO
jupiter'smoon io is the most volcanically
active world in the solar system, with
hundreds of volcanoes, some erupting lava
fountains dozens of miles (or kilometers)
high.

44. EUROPA

45. EUROPA
Europa is the fourth largest of
Jupiter’s 95 moons. It's the sixth-
closest moon to the planet.
Europa may be one of the most promising places in
our solar system to find present-day environments
suitable for some form of life beyond Earth.
Scientists believe a saltwater ocean lies beneath its
icy shell, holding twice as much water as Earth's
global ocean. It also may have the chemical
elements that are key ingredients to life. NASA is
launching itsEuropa Clipperspacecraft on Oct. 10,
2024, to determine whether there are places below
Europa's surface that could support life.

46. GANYMEDE

47. GANYMEDE
GanymedeisJupiter's largest moonand is also the
largest moon in the entire solar system. It is bigger
than both Mercuryand dwarf planet Pluto and only
slightly smaller than Mars. The moon likely has a salty
ocean underneath its icy surface, making it a
potential location for life.

48. GANYMEDE
Ganymedeis the only moon known to have itsown
magnetic field–a discovery made by NASA’s
Galileo spacecraft in 1996. The magnetic field causes
auroras, which are ribbons of glowing, hot, electrified
gas, in regions circling the north and south poles of
the moon. Because Ganymede is close to Jupiter, its
magnetic field is embedded in, or lies within, Jupiter’s
magnetic field.

49. CALLISTO

50. CALLISTO
Callisto is Jupiter’s second largest moon and
the third largest moon in our solar system. Its
surface is the most heavily cratered of any
object in our solar system. Images of Callisto
captured by passing spacecraft show bright
white spots standing out against darker
regions.

51. CALLISTO
Once thought to be a dead, inactive
rocky body, data gathered by the Galileo
spacecraft in the 1990s indicate Callisto
may have a salty ocean beneath its icy
surface. More recent research reveals
that this ocean may be located deeper
beneath the surface than previously
thought, or may not exist at all. If an
ocean is present, it’s possible the ocean
is interacting with rock on Callisto,
creating a potential habitat for life.
