"Jove" is another name for Jupiter. In fact, it's the form that one uses to make the adjective. The satellites around Jupiter are called "Jovian moons."

There are 9 bodies in our solar system officially recognized as "planets" by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).\n\nThere are a number of large bodies, such as asteroid Ceres (between Mars and Jupiter), and Sedna (way out beyond the Kuiper Belt) that are considered candidates, but are unlikely to ever be recognized as planets.  Pluto is sometimes considered too small to be called a planet, but just for historical reasons, the IAU is unlikely ever to "downgrade" it.  \n\nIn 2003 a large body was discovered outside the orbit of Neptune, currently called UB313, and appears to be larger than Pluto.  The IAU is reviewing the definition of "planet" and is scheduled to make a decision in September of this year (2006) as to whether UB313 is officially the 10th planet.  Hopefully then they will give it a cool Greek name. :-)

Just like the Roman god from which it draws its name, the planet Jupiter is mostly hot gas.  We know this primarily from the spectrum of the Sun's light that is reflected by the planet's surface.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jupiter#Historical_observations\n\nJupiter has been known since ancient times and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. The Romans named the planet after the Roman god Jupiter (also called Jove). The astronomical symbol for the planet is a stylized representation of the god's lightning bolt.

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.

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun. It is a gas giant (also known as a Jovian planet, after the planet Jupiter), the second-largest planet in the solar system after Jupiter. Saturn has a prominent system of rings, consisting mostly of ice particles with a smaller amount of rocky debris and dust. It was named after the Roman god Saturn. Its symbol is a stylized representation of the god's sickle (Unicode: ♄).

There are actually several "planet like" objects beyond Pluto in an area called the Kuiper belt that contains thousands of objects that circle the sun.\n\nAt present none of them have been officially recognized as new planets. \nThe discovery of these new planet size objects including  2003 UB313 (nicknamed XENA), Sedna(in 2004) and Quaoar(in 2002 by the same team) have triggered a re-evaluation of the necessary criteria to call something a planet.\n\nIt is likely that this team at Caltech will  discover other objects to be added to the list of potential "planets" in our solar system.\n\n2003 UB313(nicknamed XENA unofficially) is larger than Pluto which leaves officials in a bit of dilemna.  How can they recognize Pluto as a planet and not this object?

July 29, 2005: "It's definitely bigger than Pluto." So says Dr. Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology who announced today the discovery of a new planet in the outer solar system.\n\nThe planet, which hasn't been officially named yet, was found by Brown and colleagues using the Samuel Oschin Telescope at Palomar Observatory near San Diego. It is currently about 97 times farther from the sun than Earth, or 97 Astronomical Units (AU). For comparison, Pluto is 40 AU from the sun\nThe planet's temporary name is 2003 UB313. A permanent name has been proposed by the discoverers to the International Astronomical Union, and they are awaiting the decision of this body before announcing the name. \nAm I right U_EVERYONE_K

As of right now we don't know sizes of other planets outside our solar system.\n\n But, Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System. With an equatorial diameter of 143,884 km, (89,405 miles), it is as wide as more than 11 Earths stacked side by side. The planet also has the shortest period of rotation - Jupiter days last just under ten hours.

Yes! The 10th planet was discovered in 2005, and is temporarily known as 2003 UB313.  However, 2003 UB313 is located in the Kuiper belt, which is made up of numerous objects, and there may be many more that could be counted as planets.  The definition of "planet" is currently a topic of debate, and some argue that neither 2003 UB313 nor Pluto should be considered planets.  I believe that the popular media has sometimes refered to it as "planet x," but this is not its official name.

we already found a 10th planet in our solar system, but it's still unclear if it's considered as planet (some say it is too small).\nThe name of the "10th planet" is Sedna.

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. \n\nJupiter's Ring\nUnlike Saturn's intricate and complex ring patterns, Jupiter has a simple ring system that is composed of an inner halo, a main ring and a Gossamer ring. To the Voyager spacecraft, the Gossamer ring appeared to be a single ring, but Galileo imagery provided the unexpected discovery that Gossamer is really two rings. One ring is embedded within the other. The rings are very tenuous and are composed of dust particles kicked up as interplanetary meteoroids smash into Jupiter's four small inner moons Metis, Adrastea, Thebe, and Amalthea. Many of the particles are microscopic in size. \n\nThe innermost halo ring is toroidal in shape and extends radially from about 92,000 kilometers (57,000 miles) to about 122,500 kilometers (76,000 miles) from Jupiter's center. It is formed as fine particles of dust from the main ring's inner boundary 'bloom' outward as they fall toward the planet. The main and brightest ring extends from the halo boundary out to about 128,940 kilometers (80,000 miles) or just inside the orbit of Adrastea. Close to the orbit of Metis, the main ring's brightness decreases. \n\nThe two faint Gossamer rings are fairly uniform in nature. The innermost Amalthea Gossamer ring extends from the orbit of Adrastea out to the orbit of Amalthea at 181,000 kilometers (112,000 miles) from Jupiter's center. The fainter Thebe Gossamer ring extends from Amalthea's orbit out to about Thebe's orbit at 221,000 kilometers (136,000 miles). \n\nJupiter's rings and moons exist within an intense radiation belt of electrons and ions trapped in the planet's magnetic field. These particles and fields comprise the jovian magnetosphere or magnetic environment, which extends 3 to 7 million kilometers (1.9 to 4.3 million miles) toward the Sun, and stretches in a windsock shape at least as far as Saturn's orbit - a distance of 750 million kilometers (466 million miles). \n\nJupiter Statistics \nMass (kg) 1.900e+27 \nMass (
