FACTS
About The Largest OF Our
Planets

At this time of the year the evening
star In our sky is Jupiter, which is the
largest of the planets, being nearly
1900 times as large as the earth, al.
though 1t Is not nearly SO solid, be.
cause its density is only about one
fourth, SO that If the earth were made
of lead and Jupiter of marble the pro.
portion would be about as 1t is, says
New York Sun writer.
A peculiar thing about the differ.
ence in the density of the planets is
that although things that are on the
surface of Jupiter would be very light
II we could put them on a pair OF
earthly scales they are much heavier
where they are. The converse of this
fact is also true, and II a boy who was
thought by his athletic trainer to be
a trifle light for the boats crew could
only be transported to Jupiter and
weighed there he would be the heav.
lest man on the eligible list and would
sink the boat.
This, as you probably know, is be.
cause the force Of gravity is SO much
greater in such large body, being two
or three times as powerful as 1t is on
the earth.
In spite of his immense size Jupiter
is a very lively planet. 1t takes the
earth "a hours to turn over in bed and
wake up to sc the sun again each day 4;
but Jupiter, although nearly II times
the diameter of the earth, turns com
pletely round every 10 hours.
But in another respect he is pretty
slow, because while the earth goes all
around the sun In 365 days, which we
call our year, 1t takes Jupiter 1O,455
days to make the round; SO you may
imagine what lot Of space the calen.
dars will take up on the office walls in
Jupiter when they get down to bust
ness up there.
Although the sun looks to us very
large and brilliant, It looks pretty
small from Jupiter, being only one
fifth of the size that 1t seems to us
The consequence is that the planet
gets only about one fifth as much light
| and II we got as much as an electric
light from the sun, 16 candlepower
Jupiter would get about as much as
three tallow dips.
Many persons think that when they
see very bright planet in the evening
sky It must be Venus. but 1t is easy to
distinguish between them, because
Venus is never to be seen at midnight
in the south, as Jupiter is. Venus Is
always southwest In the evening OF
southeast in the morning.
Jupiter is pretty well supplied with
moons, having four Of them in good
working order and fifth that Is moi
much account. with three more strag
glers on the side. For long time II
was assumed that he had only -four
! and It Is remarkable that they were
discovered at the same time. on Jan
Z and 8, 1910, by two astronomers
one In Germany and the other in Italy
1t was not until Sept. 3, 1892, that q
fifth moon was discovered with the as
sistance of the great Lick telescope in
| California, and since then three more
tiny satellites have been found.
