Sure, let’s start our exploration with Jupiter.
Do you know what kind of planet Jupiter is?

That’s what you don’t know at all…

Welcome. This time we are off to Jupiter to learn more about it!

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system.

Many people know that Jupiter is somewhat of a large planet, but don’t really know much about it…do you?

In this article, you can learn what kind of planet Jupiter is through illustrations.

This time, let’s take a trip to Jupiter with the guinea pigs!

We have arrived at Jupiter!
It’s so big!

Hakase
That’s right. First, let me show you some basic data about Jupiter.

The radius is 11.2 times that of the earth!
Its mass is 318 times greater!
It’s very big!

So that’s why it was so different from the impact it had when we first saw it!
Since we are here, why don’t we take a little walk around Jupiter?
Hakase
Hakase
That’s impossible, Chi-ga kun.
Chi-ga kun
Chi-ga kun
Why? Did the scale of Jupiter overwhelm you and scare you?
Hakase
Hakase
No, it’s not. In fact, it is impossible to land on Jupiter’s surface because it is not land.
Chi-ga kun
Chi-ga kun
Not land? What do you mean?

Jupiter’s surface is composed of gaseous and liquid hydrogen and helium. Therefore, if we tried to land on Jupiter, we would sink.
Chi-ga kun
Chi-ga kun
Oh, no! That’s terrible!
Hakase
Hakase
Too bad we won’t be able to walk around.
How is the report on Jupiter coming along?
Chi-ga kun
Chi-ga kun
Yes, I have a question.
I have one question, what are those eye-like things on the surface of Jupiter?
Hakase
Hakase
This is the Great Red Spot, a huge vortex in the atmosphere.
Chi-ga kun
Chi-ga kun
A giant atmospheric vortex?
That’s a little scary, isn’t it?
Hakase
Hakase
This is where the atmosphere from Jupiter’s interior rises.

Chi-ga kun
Oh, I see!
I’ve put together a report on this Jupiter expedition!
Hakase
Hakase
The expedition is over. Let’s go back to Earth!

That’s true, and above all, I was overwhelmed by the scale of Jupiter! It was so much bigger than Earth, but it doesn’t look like something we could live in, lol.
Hakase! Thank you very much for today!

Thank you for going out with us to explore all the way to the end!
