can people live in jupiter?

If you are a person who does not require the same things as all other earthly humans, than maybe, if you do require water, oxygen, ect. then, no.

Any life form as we know it could never live on Uranus. Of course, I think it's a bit arrogant and short-sighted to think that we know any and all forms that life can take. After all, life exists at the bottom of oceans where it was once thought living organisms could never survive. We have such a small perspective so far that there could be many forms of life that we can't currently imagine. Only time will tell.

I thought it was neat when the Shoemaker-Levy comet crashed into it a few years back.  Jupiter is kind of like our solar system's vaccuum cleaner - it sucks up a lot of debree that could destroy us or other planets in this solar system.  Ain't God smart?

Jupiter is further from the sun, and has a larger orbital path.  That is why it takes longer (it has to travel further to go around)

B is wrong.  Jupiter spins once every 9 hours and 55 minutes while earth spins once every 24.

Chance.\n\nMany stars in the galaxy are part of binary systems.  As the gaseous nebula that forms a solar system collapses, the mass can distribute in many ways.  The Sun got the majority of the mass, and Jupiter carries much of the residual mass of the solar system (2.5x the mass of the other planets).  If more mass had gone to Jupiter, we might be in a binary solar system.  If the majority of the mass went to Jupiter, it would be the Sun, and vice versa.

Sure. A planet orbiting far enough from such a star could be habitable, but not for long. When I say not long, I mean not as long as billions of years. Red giants do not last for billions of years, but they do last for millions of years, we think. So such a civilization probably could not have arisen there naturally, but could have been started by space travelers from another star settling there.

Jupiter doesn't really have a surface. It is a gas giant, and the further down into the atmosphere you go, the heavier the gaseous density. Go deep enough, and the gases behave like liquids because of the pressure.... but because it is pressurized gas, and not a true liquid, there's no rolling sea with waves at any  point in the atmosphere.\n\nDeep, deep within is thought to be a rocky core whose volume is slightly larger than the Earth. But the pressure of the gases at that depth makes contemplating the surface of that rocky core not unlike contemplating the surface of the iron core inside Earth...

My favourtie planet is Jupiter because it's the largest and yet made up of a lot of gas. I actually like it because of its moons. The 4 main moons are really cool. It's one moon, Io, is the most active object in our solar system. Also, because it's soo close to Jupiter, as it rotates around it fluctuates thus making it's shape change. The other cool moon, Europa is covered in a thin layer of ice and it is believed to have H2O water underneath that ice which would make it the only other place than earth in our Solar System to have H2O. Ganymede and Callisto are two really cool moons to look at.

Neptune is a balmy 218 below...Celsius. As far as living there consider this:\n\na) Neptune is a gas planet, with no solid surface. We'd fall right through.\nb) We'd freeze.\nc) There is nothing for us to breathe there.\n\nThat's just the beginning of that list. The answer is no.

We know that Earth has life on it so that is the most likely.\n\nMars is also a possibility although I would not expect the life to be alive when we get there (but it might be possible for us to thaw it out) due to the apparent lack of water and the atmosphere being a bit too thin.\n\nEuropa might have life under the ice in a liquid water layer.  It would seem to be big enough for life to evolve and the materials that are needed for life would actually be able to exist in forms that life could use along with the tidal heating from Jupiter.  This is probably the most likely place to have life but it isn't a planet.\n\nTitan has a rather thick atmosphere and organics so it looks like a candidate although it is a bit cold and doesn't have any liquid water (though hydrocarbons might be able to substitute) so a different biochemistry might be needed.  Of course this isn't a planet so it doesn't actually answer the question.

The forces and variables in play to keep planet earth livable, (i.e. distance from sun, gravitational pull of moon and influence on tides, etc), are very exact and precarious.  Any movement of the earth would probably upset life to the point of making this planet impossible to live on.\n\nJust a few thoughts:\nNo heat from the sun, we will freeze.\nIf the moon doesn't come with us, tidal waves and tsunamis will destroy the planet before homeostatis reasserts itself.\nWithout a gas giant like Jupiter nearby, there is nothing to catch stray meteors and comets that could easily destroy earth.\n\nJust some thoughts.  So if you want to drive the earth around the universe, just keep in mind that it'll kill us all.

Bonita Springs, Florida is a bike ride to the Gulf and if you find the right area, it's very cheap to live there.  My mother rents a 2br 1bath house out for $750 a month.  I lived there myself for a year.  Now I live in Fort Myers.  I have psoriasis and can't take cold weather either.  The ocean really helps... and so does sunshine.  It never really gets cold here.   If it gets below 60°, I build a fire.

There could be but it might be no higher than basic plant life.  Yet, with the uncountable number of stars and planets out there, there could well be.\n\nThe other answer is yes, but there's not much in Wigan.

Jupiter is 2.5 times more massive than all the other planets combined. It is 318 times more massive than Earth, with a diameter 11 times that of Earth, and its volume is 1300 times as great as that of Earth.

Through the study of other stars 'wobble' within our own galaxy, we have detected planets larger than Jupiter, we believe.  Though, this is through a calculation with the doppler effect.  So to play it safe, as far as we know now it is Jupiter.  But to say that this will always be true would be bold and naive.

It has the strongest surface winds (Jupiter would have the greatest gravitational force)
