Jupiter+-+by

= = Jupiter is the largest planet of our solar system and is the fifth planet after the Sun. It is between Mars and Saturn. Jupiter takes about 12 years to orbit the sun and rotates in about 10 hours. It has 39 known moons. Unlike the rocky planets, Jupiter is a ball of hydrogen, helium, water, nitrogen and other gases over a small rocky core. Jupiter is the fourth brightest object in the sky after the Sun, Moon and Venus and is also called the 'ruler of the night skies'.  How did Jupiter get its name? It's known that the Romans were the ones who named this large planet, ‘Jupiter’ after the king of Roman Gods. Jupiter happened to be the Roman name of the supreme Greek God Zeus. Since Jupiter appeared big and bright in the sky, they named it after their God. Most of the moons of Jupiter are named after the daughters of The God Jupiter.
