However, just saying how big Jupiter is, we can't see it with our own eyes. If we are on Jupiter's moon, we can witness with our own eyes how terrible the gas giant is.
However, although you can't really stand there and watch it, you might as well simulate it. Take Jupiter's four most famous Galileo satellites as an example. Let's imagine what kind of Jupiter we would see if we stood on those satellites.
The first is Callisto. Callisto, whose English name is Caristo, is the farthest one from Jupiter among Galileo satellites, with an orbital radius of 654.38+0.883 million kilometers, which is about five times that of the Earth to distance to the moon. Because the diameter of Jupiter is about 4 1. 1 times that of the moon, we can know from simple middle school mathematics that the visual effect of Jupiter seen here is 8.4 times that of the full moon, which is about the following. In order to make everyone see it more vividly, we use the full moon as a comparison.
Fortunately, Jupiter can still be seen in this picture. If we go a little further and come to Ganymede, it will be different.
Ganymede is the Galileo satellite, the third farthest from Jupiter, officially known as Ganymede, and the largest satellite in the solar system. It is about 6.5438+0.07 thousand kilometers away from Jupiter, which is 2.8 1 times the distance between the earth and the moon. So if you look at Jupiter on Ganymede, it will be much bigger than Ganymede, which is probably 14.7 of the full moon visual effect, which is already a bit scary.
This is only Ganymede, the third farthest from Jupiter. Let's move on and see Europa.
Europa, also known as Europa, is the most promising planet in the solar system to become the second home for living things. So, if we really have a chance to stand on the Galileo satellite and see Jupiter, Europa may be the most likely one.
However, it is still very stressful to see Jupiter here, because Jupiter is already amazing. The average distance between Europa and Jupiter is about 670,900 kilometers, which is 1.76 times of the distance between the earth and the moon. Jupiter's visual effect here is 23.4 times that of the full moon. So the full moon next to Jupiter is like a naive girl, very mini. And Jupiter, it's hard to see them all at once. ...
Well, don't be surprised, because we are coming, which is the last stop-Io.
Io, also known as Io, is the closest Galileo satellite to Jupiter. The average distance between them is about 422,000 kilometers, which is still greater than the distance between the earth and the moon.
Looking at Jupiter here, the visual effect can be described as horror. It looks 34 times as big as the moon, which makes people feel full of oppression, as if they are going to suffocate. If you really look at Jupiter at such a close distance, I'm afraid Jupiter will hit the earth every day (perhaps it should be said that the earth hits Jupiter).
In fact, we should be glad that we are far enough away from Jupiter, otherwise, under its terrible gravity, the earth doesn't know what it will become. Maybe earthquakes will be more frequent than now, and there is even the possibility of two celestial bodies colliding. It is safer for us to stay away from this behemoth.
