Planet Jupiter

Jupiter is the largest planet and consists of hydrogen and some helium. Strong windy atmosphere filled with clouds, lebuh depth of 1000 kilometers. Jupiter's cloud filled with ice, ammonia, and ammonium compounds. Based atmosphere, great pressure to change the hydrogen into water. Moreover, the pressure increased rapidly changing hydrogen into a kind of liquid iron. Right ditengahnya, there is a small core of rock.
If we look at the sky beyond Jupiter, the planet has shades of colors. Colored lines that we see it is a different type of clouds in the atmosphere was different.

Galileo, Italian astronomer found in 1610, so the four known as the Galileo satellite, its structure is as follows, IO, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. 5262 kilometers in diameter Ganymede and Jupiter's satellites are the largest in the solar system.
Ganymede is almost the same size with the planet Mercury. Leda, jupiter's smallest moon, diamternya about 15 kilometers. Satellite Io is a special satellite because there are active volcanoes. Mountain spewed sulfur-rich liquid yellow orange color, thus giving a bright color and a variety of Io. Investigating space, voyager 1, found on Io volcano during past Jupiter in 1979.
The most striking feature of Jupiter's surface is oval spots usually called big red spots, these spots are dangat storm that big, similar to a giant storm on earth. diamternya about 40,000 kilometers, or three times the size of the earth.
