Ⅰ Read the text below and answer the questions that follow.
The Planet Jupiter1.

Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System. It is the fifth planet from the Sun. Jupiter isclassed as a gas giant because it is huge and it is mostly made up of gas. Earth is made up of waterand rock. There are three other planets that are gas giants - Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Jupiter isthe mass of around 318 Earths. This is twice the mass of all the other planets in the Solar Systemcombined.
2.

Jupiter is about 588 million kilometers from Earth. Even though it is so far away, we can see

it shining in the night sky. It is sometimes mistaken for a star. You need to know what you arelooking for to see this planet. In fact, Jupiter is actually the fourth brightest object in the night sky.
Only Earth's moon, the planet Venus and the International Space Station are brighter.
3.

Jupiter is different from Earth. While our planet has just one moon, Jupiter has 79. Of these,around 50 are less than five kilometers wide. Jupiter's four largest moons have unusual names.
They are called Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. They are known as the Galilean moons
because the Italian astronomer Galileo named them. Ganymede is the biggest moon in our Solar
System.
4.

Jupiter has been written about in books for hundreds of years. The reason for this is thatpeople have always been able to see it from Earth. They wondered what this distant light was.
The first person to study Jupiter was Galileo in 1610. It is believed he was the first person to use
a telescope for astronomy. His was a very basic instrument but powerful enough to spot some ofJupiter's moons.
5.

No new moons were discovered for more than two hundred years after Galileo's sightings. In1892, an astronomer found a new moon and called it Amalthea. It was the last of Jupiter's moons
to be found by human eyes through a telescope. In 1994, bits of a comet hit Jupiter. It was the firsttime a collision between two Solar System objects had been seen by people on Earth.
