Will Jupiter ever have land?

As a gas giant, Jupiter doesn't have a true surface. The planet is mostly swirling gases and liquids. While a spacecraft would have nowhere to land on Jupiter, it wouldn't be able to fly through unscathed either.

Can we land on Jupiter's core?

Jupiter is made of mostly hydrogen and helium gas. So, trying to land on it would be like trying to land on a cloud here on Earth. There's no outer crust to break your fall on Jupiter. Just an endless stretch of atmosphere.

Will Jupiter ever become solid?

No, Jupiter doesn't have a solid surface. It is the largest among planets but lacks a firm solid surface. If one tries to paraglide and land on the surface of Jupiter, he would fail to find a surface and would rather slide down through layers of gas, dust, vapor, and liquid and finally reach the hot core.

Can Jupiter ever support life?

Jupiter cannot support life as we know it. But some of Jupiter's moons have oceans beneath their crusts that might support life.

Does it rain diamonds on Jupiter?

New research by scientists apparently shows that it rains diamonds on Jupiter and Saturn. In fact the planets have the capability to create 1000 tonnes of diamonds a year.

What Would Happen If Humans Tried To Land On Jupiter

What if Jupiter hit the Sun?

If Jupiter were mixed throughout the sun, the temperature of the sun would decrease slightly, and perhaps it would take a few hundred years for the sun's temperature to return to its previous level, and maybe we would get a few basis points less solar radiation, but it wouldn't go out. Highly active question.

Can we freeze Jupiter?

No. Helium won't freeze solid even at the temperature of interstellar space. Thus even if there's no source of heat you'll still have liquid helium.

Is Saturn a failed star?

Gas giants are also called failed stars because they contain the same basic elements as a star. Jupiter and Saturn are the gas giants of the Solar System.

Was Jupiter a failed star?

Jupiter is often called a 'failed star' because, although it is mostly hydrogen like most normal stars, it is not massive enough to commence thermonuclear reactions in its core and thus become a 'real star'.

Can we walk on Pluto?

If a person wanted to actually walk on the surface of Pluto, the astronaut would probably need to add a significant amount of weight to his gear in order to keep his feet firmly enough on the surface of the planet to actually walk around.

Can Jupiter become a star?

Jupiter, while more massive than any other planet in our solar system, is still far too underweight to fuse hydrogen into helium. The planet would need to weigh 13 times its current mass to become a brown dwarf, and about 83 to 85 times its mass to become a low-mass star.

Can Earth become a star?

No. In order for a star to sustain itself, fusion must take place to avoid collapse due to gravity. The earth is made from heavy elements (nickel, iron, etc) which are nearly impossible to fuse in stars. Therefore, due to this, the Earth cannot be a star due to the addition of more mass.

Can a black hole pull in a planet?

Fortunately, this has never happened to anyone — black holes are too far away to pull in any matter from our solar system. But scientists have observed black holes ripping stars apart, a process that releases a tremendous amount of energy.

Can a planet become a black hole?

If, somehow, the electromagnetic and quantum forces holding the Earth up against gravitational collapse were turned off, Earth would quickly become a black hole. Here's what we would experience if that were to happen. If you begin with a bound, stationary configuration of mass, and there are no non-gravitational ...

Will any planets ever collide?

Planetary collisions are pretty rare, especially in developed systems like ours. Our solar system is reasonably stable -- not perfectly so, but all of the planets are not likely to hit another large object in the near future. About the worst thing that could happen would be that an asteroid could hit.

Is the Sun getting bigger?

Because the Sun continues to 'burn' hydrogen into helium in its core, the core slowly collapses and heats up, causing the outer layers of the Sun to grow larger. This has been going on since soon after the Sun was formed 4.5 billion years ago.

What planet could we live on?

Then, just last year, scientists discovered another Earth-like planet orbiting one of our closest neighboring stars, Proxima Centauri. Currently, this planet is the best candidate we have for supporting human life.

Can you walk on Neptune?

But temperatures at this region would be thousands of degrees; hot enough to melt rock. And the pressure from the weight of all the atmosphere would be crushing. In short, there is simply no way one could stand on the “surface of Neptune”, let alone walk around on it.

Can you survive on Neptune?

Neptune's environment is not conducive to life as we know it. The temperatures, pressures, and materials that characterize this planet are most likely too extreme and volatile for organisms to adapt to.

What if Earth had rings?

At the equator, the rings would appear to divide the sun, casting a dramatic shadow over half the world. Likewise, the rings themselves would cast shadows on Earth.

What would happen if Pluto hit Earth?

If, for whatever reason they did collide, I imagine that Neptune, being far larger than Pluto would survive, albeit with a slightly altered orbit while Pluto would be destroyed in the collision. The effect on Earth would be virtually nil.

What year will the Sun explode?

Astronomers estimate that the sun has about 7 billion to 8 billion years left before it sputters out and dies. One way or another, humanity may well be long gone by then.
