Warum kann man nicht auf dem Jupiter leben?
Jupiter und Saturn vereinen über 90 Prozent der Masse aller Planeten auf sich. Der dominierende Gasriese stabilisiert durch seine Masse den Asteroidengürtel. Ohne Jupiter würde statistisch gesehen alle 100.000 Jahre ein Asteroid aus dem Asteroidengürtel die Erde treffen und Leben dadurch vermutlich unmöglich machen.
Was würde passieren wenn der Jupiter so nah wie der Mond wäre?
„Nicht nur Ebbe und Flut würden extremer, sondern womöglich würde sich auch die Erdoberfläche heben und senken, wie bei Io“, spekuliert Planetenforscher Sohl. Er vergleicht die Erde in diesem Fall mit dem Jupitermond Io, weil er etwa denselben Abstand zum Jupiter hat, wie die Erde in unserem Beispiel.
What happens if humans tried to land on Jupiter?
Here’s what would happen if they went extinct. Jupiter is made of mostly hydrogen and helium gas. If you tried to land on Jupiter, it would be a bad idea. You’d face extremely hot temperatures and you’d free-float in mid-Jupiter with no way of escaping. Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories. Following is a transcript of the video.
Is the lunar lander going to land on Jupiter?
In reality, the Lunar Lander is relatively delicate compared to, say, NASA’s Orion spacecraft. Therefore, the Lunar Lander would not be used for a mission to land on any world that contains an atmosphere, including Jupiter.
Is it true that Jupiter is a gas giant?
Jupiter is a gas giant and doesn’t have a solid surface, but it may have a solid inner core about the size of Earth. Jupiter also has rings, but they’re too faint to see very well. Visit NASA Space Place for more kid-friendly facts. Galileo was the first spacecraft to orbit Jupiter.
Is the Great Red Spot on Jupiter a storm?
Jupiter’s familiar stripes and swirls are actually cold, windy clouds of ammonia and water, floating in an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium. Jupiter’s iconic Great Red Spot is a giant storm bigger than Earth that has raged for hundreds of years. One spacecraft – NASA’s Juno orbiter – is currently exploring this giant world.
