Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and is often referred to as a gas giant. It is made up mostly of hydrogen and helium and has a thick atmosphere dominated by swirling clouds and intense storms, such as the Great Red Spot. Jupiter has a strong magnetic field and numerous moons, with the four largest known as the Galilean moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto). Research on Jupiter includes studying its atmosphere, weather patterns, magnetic field, and its interactions with its moons. Scientists also study Jupiter's role in the formation and evolution of the solar system, as well as its potential to host life on its moons, particularly Europa with its subsurface ocean. Studying Jupiter provides valuable insights into the dynamics and characteristics of gas giant planets and helps improve our understanding of planetary systems beyond our own.
