Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and is the largest one in the solar system. If Jupiter were hollow, more than one thousand Earths could fit inside. It also contains more matter than all of the other planets combined. It has a mass of 1.9 x 1027 kg and is 142,800 kilometers (88,736 miles) across the equator. Jupiter possesses 28 known satellites, four of which - Callisto, Europa, Ganymede and Io - were observed by Galileo as long ago as 1610. Another 12 satellites have been recently discovered and given provisional designators until they are officially confirmed and named. There is a ring system, but it is very faint and is totally invisible from the Earth. (The rings were discovered in 1979 by Voyager 1.) The atmosphere is very deep, perhaps comprising the whole planet, and is somewhat like the Sun. It is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, with small amounts of methane, ammonia, water vapor and other compounds. At great depths within Jupiter, the pressure is so great that the hydrogen atoms are broken up and the electrons are freed so that the resulting atoms consist of bare protons. This produces a state in which the hydrogen becomes metallic. \nColorful latitudinal bands, atmospheric clouds and storms illustrate Jupiter's dynamic weather systems. The cloud patterns change within hours or days. The Great Red Spot is a complex storm moving in a counter-clockwise direction. At the outer edge, material appears to rotate in four to six days; near the center, motions are small and nearly random in direction. An array of other smaller storms and eddies can be found through out the banded clouds. \n\nAuroral emissions, similar to Earth's northern lights, were observed in the polar regions of Jupiter. The auroral emissions appear to be related to material from Io that spirals along magnetic field lines to fall into Jupiter's atmosphere. Cloud-top lightning bolts, similar to superbolts in Earth's high atmosphere, were also observed.

Not sure how you want this question answered, but here goes:\n\nThe solar system consists of the Sun, the 10 planets, the asteroid belt, The Kuiper belt, and the Oort cloud. The Sun is a main sequence G2 star that contains 99.86% of the system's known mass. Its two largest orbiting bodies, Jupiter and Saturn, account for more than 90% of the remainder; the Oort Cloud might hold a substantial percentage, but as yet its existence is unconfirmed.\n\nIn broad terms, the charted regions of the solar system consist of the Sun and its planetary system: the eight bodies in relatively unique orbits commonly called planets or major planets and two belts of smaller objects, which can be called minor planets, planetoids, meteoroids, or planetesimals. Pluto, the ninth planet, is also considered a member of the outer belt, and its status is currently uncertain, particularly since the discovery of 2003 UB313 (see below). Most objects in orbit round the Sun all lie within the same shallow plane, called the ecliptic plane, and orbit in the same direction. Many are in turn orbited by moons, and the largest are encircled by planetary rings of dust and other particles.\n\nThe major planets are, in order, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Eight of the nine planets are named after or derived from gods and goddesses from Greco-Roman mythology.\n\nDistances within the solar system are measured most often in astronomical units, or AU. One AU is the mean distance between the Earth and the Sun, or 149 598 000 kilometres. Other units in common use include the gigametre (Gm, one million kilometres) and the terametre (Tm, one billion/milliard kilometres). Pluto is roughly 38 AU (5.9 Tm) from the Sun, while Jupiter lies at roughly 5.2 AU (778 Gm).\n\nUsing radiometric dating, scientists can estimate that the solar system is 4.6 billion years old. The oldest rocks on Earth are approximately 3.9 billion years old. Rocks this old are rare, as the Earth's surface is constantly being reshaped by erosion, vulcanism and plate tectonics. To estimate the age of the solar system scientists must use meteorites, which were formed during the early condensation of the solar nebula. The oldest meteorites (such as the Canyon Diablo meteorite) are found to have an age of 4.6 billion years, hence the solar system must be at least 4.6 billion years old.\n\nThe current theory of solar system formation is the nebular hypothesis, first proposed in 1755 by Immanuel Kant and independently formulated by Pierre-Simon Laplace. The nebular theory has been refined over many years and now has a great deal of evidence supporting it.\n\nTo briefly summarize, the nebular theory holds that the solar system was formed from the gravitational collapse of a gaseous cloud called the solar nebula. It had a diameter of 100 AU and was 2-3 times the mass of the Sun. Over time a disturbance (possibly a nearby supernova) squeezed the nebula, pushing matter inward until gravitational forces overcame the internal gas pressure and it began to collapse. As the nebula collapsed it began to spin faster to conserve angular momentum, and became warmer. As the competing forces associated with gravity, gas pressure, magnetic fields, and rotation acted on it the contracting nebula began to flatten into a spinning protoplanetary disk with a gradually contracting protostar at the center.\n\nGrains of dust (silicates and metals) and ice (hydrogen compounds) condensed from the gas, and began to accrete into larger and larger clumps, forming planetesimals. Inside the frost line, planetesimals were composed of rock and metal, because those are the only grains that can condense at those temperatures, and remained relatively small because they were only 0.6% the mass of the disk. The larger icy planetesimals beyond the frost line became massive enough to capture and hold onto helium and then hydrogen gases, which caused them to rapidly grow into jovian protoplanets.\n\nAft

The sun. The sun is, on average, 93 million miles from the earth. Pluto orbits the sun over 2 billion miles away. The nearest star is over 4 light years away. (Light travels 186,000 miles, or about 300,000,000 meters, in a second - try figuring out how far that is in a year!) The nearest galaxy is over 4 million light years away - an amazing distance!

Mercury is 57,910,000 km or 36,001,813 miles from the Sun, on average. It does vary by several percent because Mercury has a rather eccentric orbit.\n\nThe Earth orbits the sun at an average distance of 149,600,000 km or 93,004,167 miles. So the distance between Earth and Mercury is only about 57 million miles when the Earth and Mercury are on the same side of the Sun and about 129 million miles when they are on opposite sides of the Sun.

The Earth's orbit is slightly elliptical.  When it is closest to the Sun it is a distance of 91.4 million miles.  At it's furthest it is 94.5m miles.  The distance between the Earth and the Sun is also known as 1AU (astronomical unit).

Pluto is the farthest planet from the sun. Its average distance from the sun is 3,670,050,000 miles (5,906,380,000 kilometers).

what? further than the earth in relation to the sun, would be mars. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto and one we cant quite see yet.\nI'm not sure i understand your ?, but i hope this helps. sometime pluto comes closer than neptune, because of the orbits. click on this link, then scole down the page it brings you to.\nhttp://www.sciencemonster.com/planets.html

the solar system is a little more complex than that.  everything in the solar system orbits a common center of mass called a barycenter.  the more massive objects are closest to it so the sun is closest.  jupiter is so massive that the solar system's barycenter is outside the solar surface.  the earth is farther away so it essentially orbits around the sun while the sun orbits the barycenter.  the earth and moon orbit their own common center of mass.  this barycenter is within the earth so the moon essentially orbits the earth.  i hope this answers your question.\n\nread these pages:\nhttp://spaceplace.nasa.gov/en/kids/barycntr.shtml\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_system

With over sixty three moons to date and growing, Jupiter has more moons than any other planet in the Solar system*.  In fact, Jupiter and its moons are often referred to as the Jovian system (Jove being an alternate name for Jupiter), and are almost more complex as a planetary system than the Solar system itself is.\n\nThe planet with the second most numerous moons is the planet Saturn.  If you would like more information on either the moons of Jupiter or Saturn, I would highly recommend searching through either nasa.gov, nineplanets.org (which can be a little dry but still has a lot of useful information), or solarviews.com.\n\n\n*By the way, there's only one "Solar system" since the name refers to the star in the center of our star system, which is properly named "Sol", and not "the Sun"... all other systems containing a star and planets would be properly referred to as either a planetary system or a star system, as they do not orbit the star Sol.

Technology now exists that can send probes (very expensive probes) anywhere in the solar system, including Jupiter.  However, it is doubtful that man will ever go there because the planet is a giant gas planet without land to land on, air to breath or temperatures high enough to sustain life.  Also the planet has a powerful gravitational pull and anyone who goes there will stay there.  Mars is a much more hospitable goal for space travel by men (and women too).  Bring your own air!

Pluto is 4,583,000,000 miles from the sun at maximum; 2,757,000,000 at minimum.  Since Neptune goes out as far as 2,824,000,000 it is occasionally closer in than Neptune!

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.

180 degrees.  Elongation is the angle between the Sun and the planet as observed from the Earth.  Since Jupiter is a superior planet, with an orbit outside of Earth's, Jupiter can be on the complete opposite side of the planet from the Sun.  The inferior planets, on the other hand, like Venus, are always in the same general direction as the Sun, and have maximum elongations smaller than 90 degrees.

If both Jupiter and Uranus be in their shortest distances from saturn, then Jupiter will be the nearest. The distance will be around 5 A.U (Astronomical Unit)(1 A.U=150000000kms).
