Course Description

Overview

Explore the fascinating world of Jupiter in this comprehensive video series. Delve into the giant planet's location, composition, and unique characteristics as a failed star. Learn about Jupiter's major statistics, including its orbital speed and observational features from Earth. Examine the planet's atmospheric layers, temperature gradient, and the famous Great Red Spot. Discover the findings of the Galileo atmospheric probe and understand Jupiter's rotation, oblateness, and orbital motion. Investigate the planet's interior structure, powerful magnetic field, and stunning aurora borealis. Study Jupiter's ring system and the concept of the Roche limit. Finally, explore Jupiter's moons, including the four inner moons and the Galilean moons, and learn about their formation process.
