What would happen if a human tried to land on Jupiter?
Jupiter is made of mostly hydrogen and helium gas. If you tried to land on Jupiter, it would be a bad idea. You’d face extremely hot temperatures and you’d free-float in mid-Jupiter with no way of escaping. Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories.
Can a human land on Jupiter?
Surface. 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.
How long would it take a manned spacecraft to get to Jupiter?
The distance between Earth and Jupiter depends on the orbits of each planet but can reach more than 600 million miles. Depending on what the missions do and where they go, it can take around two years to six years to reach Jupiter.
How long would it take a plane to fly around Jupiter?
Jupiter has an equatorial circumference of 449,200 km, a current-generation 747 has a top speed of 988 km/h so it will take about 455 hours or nearly 19 days (18.9) (this doesn’t allow for re-fueling). Someone else answered a somewhat related question (can you fly through Jupiters atmosphere?).
Is it possible to land on Jupiter?
Jupiter is not only a long way from the Earth, it also doesn’t have a solid surface for us to land on. This means that a crewed mission to the largest planet in the Solar System has not even entered the realms of consideration.
Is it possible to send humans to Jupiter?
Sending humans to the largest planet in the Solar System is going to be a huge challenge. Jupiter is not only a long way from the Earth, it also doesn’t have a solid surface for us to land on. This means that a crewed mission to the largest planet in the Solar System has not even entered the realms of consideration.
What can we learn about Jupiter from this spacecraft?
Pioneer 10 obtained the first-ever close-up images of Jupiter and its Galilean moons; the spacecraft studied the planet’s atmosphere, detected its magnetic field, observed its radiation belts and determined that Jupiter is mainly fluid.
When will China launch an orbiter mission to Jupiter?
The Chinese National Space Administration plans to launch an orbiter mission to Jupiter around 2029 to explore the planet and its moons. A list of previous and upcoming missions to the outer Solar System (including Jupiter) can be found at the List of missions to the outer planets article.
