Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System, a gas giant with banded clouds, the Great Red Spot, and more than ninety known moons.

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and by far the largest in the Solar System, a gas giant with more than twice the mass of all the other planets combined. It has no solid surface: its visible face is a deep atmosphere of hydrogen and helium arranged in banded clouds, marked by the Great Red Spot, a storm wider than Earth that has persisted for centuries. The planet is orbited by more than ninety known moons, including the four large Galilean moons Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, first observed by Galileo in 1610.
