Jupiter
Jupiter is the fifth planes from the sun, and it is the largest planet in our solar system. Jupiter is known as a gas giant. Also classified as gas giants are Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Jupiter was named after the Roman god Jupiter. Jupiter viewed from earth, is about the third-brightest star in the night sky. Jupiter is composed of hydrogen, and a quarter of it being helium. Jupiter is also said to have a rocky core of heavier elements. The outer atmosphere is divided into several bands, resulting in turbulence and storms along the interacting boundaries. One of the results of this is the Great Red Spot, a storm that is known to have existed since the 17th century at least when it was seen first by a telescope. There are at least 64 moons orbiting Jupiter. One of its moons named Ganymede, has a greater diameter than Mercury.
