1. Diameter: Approximately 139,820 km (86,881 miles)
2. Mass: About 1.90 × 10^27 kg (318 Earths)
3. Surface Gravity: 24.79 m/s² (2.528 g)
4. Orbital Period: 11.86 Earth years
5. Rotational Period: Approximately 9.93 hours (the fastest rotation rate of any planet in the Solar System)
6. Atmosphere: Primarily composed of hydrogen (about 90%) and helium (about 10%), with trace amounts of methane, ammonia, water vapor, and other compounds
7. Average Surface Temperature: -145 degrees Celsius (-234 degrees Fahrenheit)
8. Surface Pressure: No true surface, pressure increases with depth into the planet
9. Moons: 79 known moons, including the four largest (the Galilean moons): Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto
10. Tilt of Axis: 3.13 degrees (very slight, resulting in minimal seasonal changes)
11. Orbital Speed: 13.07 km/s (47,052 km/h or 29,236 mph)
12. Surface Features: No solid surface; visible cloud tops featuring belts and zones, Great Red Spot (a massive storm system), and numerous smaller storms
13. Magnetic Field: Strong magnetic field, about 20,000 times stronger than Earth's
14. Solar Day (Jovian Day): 9.93 Earth hours (due to rapid rotation)
15. Atmospheric Density: Dense atmosphere extending deep into the planet
16. Surface Composition: No solid surface, mainly gas and liquid metallic hydrogen
17. Geological Activity: No geological activity on Jupiter itself, but significant geological activity on some of its moons (e.g., volcanic activity on Io)
18. Ring System: Faint ring system composed mainly of dust particles
19. Distance from Sun: Average of about 778.5 million km (484 million miles)
20. Albedo (Reflectivity): Average albedo of 0.52, reflecting about half of the sunlight it receives
21. Escape Velocity: 59.5 km/s (133,100 mph)
22. Weather: Extreme and dynamic weather patterns, with intense storms and high-velocity winds
23. Radiation: High levels of radiation in its magnetosphere
24. Interior Composition: Likely has a core of rock and metal, surrounded by a layer of metallic hydrogen, with molecular hydrogen and helium in the outer layers
