Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It's the fifth planet from the Sun and is a gas giant, meaning it's primarily composed of hydrogen and helium rather than solid rock.

Key characteristics of Jupiter:
  • Size: It is more than twice as massive as all the other planets in our solar system combined.
  • Composition: Primarily hydrogen and helium.
  • Great Red Spot: A giant storm larger than Earth that has been raging for hundreds of years.
  • Moons: Jupiter has many moons, including the four largest, known as the Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
  • Rings: Jupiter has a faint ring system.
