JUPITER

Jupiter, named after the king of the ancient Roman gods, has more than 50 moons, with about 12 more awaiting confirmation

It is about 480million miles from the Sun, and its Great Red Spot is a giant storm which has lasted for hundreds of years

Jupiter has the shortest day in the solar system, as it takes only ten hours to rotate but takes 12 earth years to orbit the Sun

As a gas giant, it has no surface, and any spacecraft trying to land there would be crushed, melted and vaporised by Jupiter’s extreme pressure and temperatures
