Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, is a gas giant renowned for its striking bands of clouds and the Great Red Spot, a massive storm that has persisted for centuries. With a diameter of about 86,881 miles, it is more than 11 times wider than Earth and possesses a powerful magnetic field, which is the strongest of any planet in the solar system. Jupiter’s atmosphere is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with trace amounts of other gases, contributing to its vibrant appearance. The planet has a complex system of at least 79 moons, including the four largest known as the Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, each exhibiting unique geological features and potential for scientific exploration.
