Jupiter , the "big brother" of the solar system, is a full 318 times larger than the earth, and has only 10 hours a day?
Size Density
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. Compared with the Earth, it is a full 318 times larger than the Earth. It is even 2.5 times larger than the seven major planets in the solar system combined. This proves how powerful it is.

So why is Jupiter so big?
This has a certain relationship with density, it is composed of gas. Now it may be due to some reasons, such as possibly swallowing up other surrounding planets. But it won't stay this big for long. Because if it's growing and the density increases, the gravitational force will be greater. It sounds like it has expanded, but in fact it shrinks slightly due to the increased density.
"Sound"
Jupiter emits its own radio waves by bouncing off subatomic particles in its magnetic field. This sound wave is interpreted by scientists as somewhat like the sound of ocean waves.

Rotation
All the planets in the solar system will rotate, and Jupiter will also rotate. Maybe you think that since Jupiter is so big, it should rotate very slowly? Not actually, quite the opposite. Jupiter is the fastest rotating planet in the solar system. It can rotate at a speed of 145584 kilometers per hour, and it only takes 110 hours to complete one revolution. This is basically 4 times that of the Earth, and is also the fastest "day" in the solar system. In fact, it is not good to rotate too fast. Too fast a speed is likely to cause the two stages and the equator to either flatten or bulge.
Magnetosphere
Normally the magnetosphere should be almost the same as the planets, but Jupiter is not. Jupiter's magnetosphere is very large. How many? It is larger than the sun and 120 times that of the earth's magnetosphere.
satellites
According to statistics, there are 69 satellites around Jupiter, making it the planet with the most satellites around it in the solar system. Why are there so many satellites around it? I can't answer this. Maybe there are some "secrets" on Jupiter waiting for us to discover.
Summary: Jupiter is the well-deserved "boss" of the solar system. As the largest planet, there must be secrets that we have not discovered, otherwise there would not be so many satellites. What is discovered now may be just the tip of the iceberg. Perhaps when its "secret" is discovered, there will be unexpected gains. Do you have any new ideas about Jupiter? Looking forward to your message. Finally, follow me and I will help you learn a little bit of "knowledge" every day.
