Hey Readers! A few weeks ago in Miss McLeod's writing class there we made information reports for things in our solar system and we got to choose what we wrote about 😁. For my information report I chose to write about Jupiter 😃. I found it very fun to research and turn the information into my own words. Here is my information report about Jupiter 😎:
Joyful Jupiter
Introduction
Have you heard of the planet Jupiter?
Jupiter is a 4.603 billion year old planet. It is named after the Greek God of
Gods, Jupiter. The planet Jupiter is also the biggest planet in our solar system
and to let you have a better idea of how big Jupiter is: If Earth was a Grape
Jupiter would be a Basketball. And did you know that Jupiter has 79 moons?
Appearance
Jupiter is one of the four Gas Giants in our solar system, it has no solid
surface. The planet has really thin rings, so thin that we only found out about
them in 1979 which is 369 years after humans found out about it. Though the
origins of the rings of Jupiter are still unknown. Jupiter is famous for its Great
Red Spot, which is actually a storm that has been raging on for at least 150
years. It has a cloudy atmosphere and it has colourful belts and spots.
Size
With a diameter of 139,820 kilometres Jupiter is the biggest planet in our
Solar System. Jupiter is 317 times the Earth’s mass and 11 times its size which
shows how tiny the Earth is compared to Jupiter. To make it easier to know
how big Jupiter is compared to Earth, if Jupiter is a jar, you can actually fit
1,321 Earths in it. And did you know that Jupiter is 2.5 times bigger than all
the rest of the planets in the Solar System combined?
Placement and Orbit
Jupiter is an outer planet and the 5th planet from the Sun. It is also 588
million kilometres from Earth. One day on Jupiter is 10 hours long which is way
faster than Earth’s which is 24 hours. And on Jupiter, one year is 11.9
kilometres on Earth which is nearly 12 times one Earth year.
Conclusion
Overall, I think that Jupiter is a really cool and beautiful planet with lots of
features. Jupiter’s temperature is -145℃ and therefore Jupiter will not be a
suitable planet for human life. I hope you have learnt something about Jupiter
from this piece of writing today.
