Jupiter is the fifth planet from our Sun and is, by far, the largest planet in the solar system more than twice as massive as all the other planets combined.
Jupiter is believed to be the oldest planet in the Solar System, having formed just one million years after the Sun and roughly 50 million years before Earth.
Jupiter's stripes and swirls are actually cold, windy clouds of ammonia and water, floating in an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium.
Jupiter is a gas giant and so lacks an Earth-like surface. If it has a solid inner core, it's likely about the size of Earth. Jupiter's atmosphere is made up mostly of hydrogen (H2) and helium (He) Jupiter has 95 officially recognized moons.
Physical characteristics. Jupiter is a gas giant, being primarily composed of gas and liquid rather than solid matter. It is the largest planet in the Solar System, with a diameter of 142,984 km (88,846 mi) at its equator, giving it a volume 1,321 times that of the Earth.
The atmosphere of Jupiter is the largest planetary atmosphere in the Solar System. It is mostly made of molecular hydrogen and helium in roughly solar proportions; other chemical compounds are present only in small amounts and include methane, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and water.
Jupiter is made up predominantly of hydrogen. The simple, basic gas, a prime ingredient on the Sun, accounts for 90 percent of the atmosphere. Nearly 10 percent is composed of helium. A very small fraction of the atmosphere is made up of compounds such as ammonia, sulfur, methane, and water vapor.
