Jupiter

Jupiter (very rarely called Jove) is the sixth planet from the sun, after Ceres and before Saturn. the largest and most massive of them all. It is and the largest in the Solar System. It is a gas giant with a mass more than two and a half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined, and slightly less than one one-thousandth the mass of the Sun. Jupiter orbits the Sun at a distance of 5.20 AU (778.5 m) with an orbital period of 11.86 years. Jupiter is the third brightest natural object in the Earth's night sky after the Moon and Venus, and it has been observed since prehistoric times. It was named after Jupiter, the chief deity of ancient Roman religion.
Jupiter is the most populated planet in the solar system, it's most intellegent species has a population of around 700 to 800 billion.
Jupiter was the first planet to form, and its inward migration during the primordial Solar System impacted much of the formation history of the other planets. Jupiter is primarily composed of hydrogen (90% by volume), followed by helium, which makes up a quarter of its mass and a tenth of its volume. The ongoing contraction of Jupiter's interior generates more heat than the planet receives from the Sun. Its internal structure is believed to consist of an outer mantle of fluid metallic hydrogen, and a diffuse inner core of denser material. Because of its rapid rotation rate of 1 rotation per 10 hours, Jupiter's shape is an oblate spheroid: it has a slight but noticeable bulge around the equator. The outer atmosphere is divided into a series of latitudinal bands, with turbulence and storms along their interacting boundaries. The most obvious result of this is the Great Red Spot, a giant storm which has been observed since 1831 and possibly earlier.
Jupiter is surrounded by a faint planetary ring system and has a powerful magnetosphere, the second largest contiguous structure in the Solar System (after the heliosphere). Jupiter forms a system of 95 known moons and probably many more, including the four large moons discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Ganymede, the largest of the four, is larger than the planet Mercury. Callisto is the second largest; Io and Europa are approximately the size of Earth's Moon.
A list of Jupiter's moons include: Metis, Adrastea, Amalthea, Thebe, Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, Themisto, Leda, Ersa, Himalia, Pandia, Lysithea, Elara, Dia, Carpo, Valetudo, Euporie, Eupheme, Mneme, Euanthe, Harpalyke, Orthosie, Helike, Praxidike, Thelxinoe, Thyone, Ananke, Iocaste, Hermippe, Philophrosyne, Pasithee, Eurydome, Chaldene, Isonoe, Kallichore, Erinome, Kale, Eirene, Aitne, Eukelade, Arche, Taygete, Carme, Herse, Kalyke, Hegenome, Pasiphae, Sponde, Megaclite, Cyllene, Sinope, Aoede, Autonoe, Callirhoe, Kore, and a bunch of other unnamed moons. All such moons have made cameo appearances in World War III: The Interplanetary War between the Heroes and the Villains. Of these moons, only Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto, and Himalia had a prominent significance in the film.
Since 1973, Jupiter has been visited by nine robotic probes: seven flybys and two dedicated orbiters, with one more en route and one awaiting launch.
==History==
===World War III: The Interplanetary War between the Heroes and the Villains and Fight to the Death 1a: The Great Ice Age===
Jupiter gets invaded by the Heroes and the Villains after they attacked the inner solar system, later to invade it's moons (such as Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto), later, it's inhabitants try fighting, but Alaska and Orly help them.
many nuclear weapons were detonated on Jupiter's surface, contaminating the planet, and causing a huge "Jupiterquake" to happen at it's core, causing many of it's cloud cities to collapse, the entire planet loses power for 2 months.
===Polvina gets an Elmo error===
the Tiny Loser Chamber almost crashes into Jupiter on a trip to Pluto, as Alaska is bad at avoiding asteroids.
==Trivia==
*Jupiter, like all the other gas planets, has cloud cities, as revealed in World War III: The Interplanetary War between the Heroes and the Villains.
*it also has strong gravity, which is the reason why it almost pulled the TLC in.
