Io Jupiter's moon

[EnceladusEmpire]

Jupiter has the hottest surface in the solar system (if you count it as a surface). The temperature is just measured from the cloudtops. If Earth and Venus's temperatures were measured at cloud top, they would be a lot lower. Where pressure compresses Jupiter's atmosphere into a solid surface, it is a lot hotter than Venus.

Thanks for showing this clip.

It's true that Jupiter is almost 1,450 times the Earth's volume. It also has at least 63 known moons. Jupiter also has a small ring system. 

Jesus Christ is a wonderful Creator.

YES HE IS! but jupiter does not have 63 moons.

@jigglygoober The number of moons depends on how large your cutoff is for the size of a moon. Jupiter has 4 moons of considerable size(>3000km diameter) called the Galilean moons. That is sizes large enough to make a roughly spherical shape like most people consider to be a moon. Jupiter also has countless orbiting objects that are far smaller. The 5th largest orbiting moon is around 250km long and is far from a ball shape.  Look at Moons of Jupiter in wikipedia to learn more.

Is there more of this video? It's so interesting.
