Floodlight is the largest planet of the Solar system. Scientists watch it carefully, comparing it to other planets. It is difficult to ordinary person to present what represents this celestial body. Well, it should be corrected!

1. Radius of Jupiter the same as terrestrial fluctuates within several dozen kilometers and is 69,911 kilometers. For comparison it in 11 times more than at Earth. If to take Jupiter for a soccerball, then the size of the earth will be comparable with a ball size for Ping-Pong. At the same time density of the planet is 1326 kilograms on cubic meter and concedes in this component to a terrestrial analog by 3.5 times that however does not prevent Jupiter to weigh in 323!!! time there is more earth and 2.3 times most than other planets of the Solar system combined.
2. Floodlight is in many respects the unique planet and it is known not only for the sizes. It is the only planet in the solar system, for 90%! percent consisting of hydrogen that allowed scientists to make about Jupiter as about a ""cancelled"" star. Except an above-mentioned factor in favor of it tell the following facts: - Floodlight radiates 60% more energy, than receives from the Sun and loses every second some part of the weight that does it similar to the Sun. - Around Jupiter rotate whole 67! satellites among which there are Unique copies, such as Europe therefore from outside Jupiter together with the satellites becomes similar to the Solar system in a miniature. - Comparing the sizes of Jupiter to the sizes of red dwarfs the scientists found a certain similarity.
3. Satellites of Jupiter deserve not smaller attention, than the planet. Briefly we will walk on unique features of each of them: - Europe possesses the unique building: in fact, it is the huge drop which froze in space, and at a depth in several dozen kilometers the liquid ocean already laps. - Io it is known for the volcanoes which seldom cease and can be even above our Everest. It is enough to tell that lava streams on this satellite reach 500 kilometers. Because of constant emissions of ashes the atmosphere of Io seems yellowish. - Ganymede first of all is known for the sizes: he is considered the largest of satellites in the Solar system.
4. Floodlight is subject to close attention of scientists. The most detailed analysis of changes in the atmosphere and a lithosphere of Jupiter is kept. In 2012 the decision on creation of the interplanetary station Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer which will be sent to a system for more detailed study its chemical and physical properties was made. Some scientists consider that the research will lead them to the exact answer to a question of existence of life in the Solar system out of Earth.
