In cosmology, a Hubble volume (named for the astronomer Edwin Hubble) or Hubble sphere, Hubble bubble, subluminal sphere, causal sphere and sphere of causality is a spherical region of the observable universe surrounding an observer beyond which objects recede from that observer at a rate greater than the speed of light due to the expansion of ...
The sizes and masses of many of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn are fairly well known due to numerous observations and interactions of the Galileo and Cassini orbiters; however, many of the moons with a radius less than ~100 km, such as Jupiter's Himalia, have far less certain masses. [5]
Volume of planet Earth: 2.25 × 10 21: Volume of all the rocky planets in the Solar System: 6.38 × 10 22: Volume of planet Neptune: 7.02 × 10 22: Volume of planet Uranus: 9.23 × 10 23: Volume of planet Saturn: 1 × 10 24: One ronnalitre: 1.53 × 10 24: Volume of planet Jupiter: 2.59 × 10 24: Total volume of all the planets in the Solar ...
The axial tilt of Jupiter is 3.13°, which is relatively small, so its seasons are insignificant compared to those of Earth and Mars. [134] Jupiter's rotation is the fastest of all the Solar System's planets, completing a rotation on its axis in slightly less than ten hours; this creates an equatorial bulge easily
Now, new pictures taken by the Earth-orbiting Hubble space telescope show Jupiter's red spot is smaller than it has ever been, measuring just under 10,250 miles (16,100 kilometers) in diameter. It ...
Jupiter. While you're most likely familiar with the gas giant's distinct looks, these new high-res images show just how much it has changed since the last time it was captured on cam.
Size comparison of Jupiter with Ditsö̀ WASP-17b has a radius between 1.5 and 2 times that of Jupiter and about half the mass . [ 1 ] Thus its mean density is between 0.08 and 0.19 g/cm 3 , [ 1 ] compared with Jupiter's 1.326 g/cm 3 [ 14 ] and Earth 's 5.515 g/cm 3 (the density of water is 1 g/cm 3 ).
New observations of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot captured by the Hubble Space Telescope show that the 190-year-old storm wiggles like gelatin and shape-shifts like a squeezed stress ball.
