Facts about Jupiter!
Jupiter is a giant gas planet which is made up of about 90% hydrogen and 10% helium.
Jupiter is so big that you could cram 1,000 Earths inside of it! That's *mighty big*!
Jupiter has 16 known moons! There are four large "Galilean" moons, and 12 small ones.
Jupiter does not have a solid surface due to its gaseous composition. The swirls and bands we see when looking at Jupiter are the tops of clouds high in its atmosphere.
Jupiter has faint rings like Saturn's, but much smaller. Unlike Saturn's, Jupiter's rings are dark. They're probably composed of very small grains of rocky material.
