Jupiter is
the fifth
planet
from the Sun
and the
largest planet within the
Solar System. It is a
gas giant with
mass
one-thousandth that of the Sun but is two and a half times the mass
of all the other planets in our Solar System combined. Jupiter is
classified as a gas giant along with
Saturn,
Uranus
and
Neptune. Together, these four planets are sometimes referred to
as the
Jovian or outer planets.
The planet was known by
astronomers of ancient times and was associated with the
mythology and religious beliefs of many cultures. The
Romans named the planet after the
Roman god
Jupiter. When viewed from
Earth,
Jupiter can reach an
apparent magnitude of −2.94, making it on average the
third-brightest object in the
night sky after the
Moon
and Venus.
(Mars
can briefly match Jupiter's brightness at
certain points in its orbit.) |
