What would an organism need to survive on Jupiter?

First of all, Jupiter is a gas planet composed mostly of hydrogen and helium. Any living organism would have to exist on a diet of hydrogen, helium and ammonia with a bit of water.

Can anything survive in Jupiter?

There's no outer crust to break your fall on Jupiter. ... However, any spacecraft, no matter how robust, would not survive for long in Jupiter, so the Lunar Lander is as good of a choice as any for this hypothetical scenario. First things first, Jupiter's atmosphere has no oxygen.

What features can be found on Jupiter?

The planet is covered in thick red, brown, yellow and white clouds. The clouds make the planet look like it has stripes. One of Jupiter's most famous features is the Great Red Spot. It is a giant spinning storm, resembling a hurricane.

What is needed for life on a planet?

It is useful to categorize the requirements for life on Earth as four items: energy, carbon, liquid water, and various other elements. These are listed in Table 1 along with the occurrence of these factors in the Solar System (2).

What organisms can live on Jupiter?

The planet does not have a solid surface for life to develop anywhere except as a floating microscopic organism. Free floating organisms could only exist at the very tops of the clouds due to atmospheric pressure that is progressively more intense than anything seen on Earth.

What would be like to live on Jupiter?

Living on the surface of Jupiter itself would be difficult, but maybe not impossible. The gas giant has a small rocky core with a mass 10 times less than Earth's, but it's surrounded by dense liquid hydrogen extending out to 90 percent of Jupiter's diameter. ... You'd also see numerous cracks that crisscross the globe.

Does it rain diamonds on Jupiter?

New research by scientists apparently shows that it rains diamonds on Jupiter and Saturn. ... According to the research lightning storms on the planets turn methane into soot which hardens into chunks of graphite and then diamonds as it falls.

Why can't Jupiter sustain life?

A: Jupiter is a gas giant, which means it probably does not have a solid surface, and the gas it is made up of would be toxic for us. It is also very far from the sun (sunlight can take over an hour to get there) which means that is it very cold.

What resources does Jupiter have?

Jupiter's interior is made of rock, metal, and hydrogen compounds. Below Jupiter's massive atmosphere (which is made primarily of hydrogen), there are layers of compressed hydrogen gas, liquid metallic hydrogen, and a core of ice, rock, and metals.

Is there anything special about Jupiter?

After the Sun, the Moon and Venus, Jupiter is the brightest and is one of five planets which can be seen by naked eye from Earth. Jupiter is the only planet that has a center of mass with the Sun that lies outside the volume of the Sun, though by only 7% of the Sun's radius. Jupiter has a very unique cloud layer.

What are the 3 requirements for life?

The three basic classes of nutrients are water, the energy-yielding and body-building nutrients, and the micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). The most critical nutrient is water. Depending on the environmental temperature and our state of health, we may be able to survive for only a few days without water.

What environmental characteristics would be necessary for a human to survive on another planet?

You need water, shelter, a power source, food and, unlike on Earth, you need oxygen. In terms of shelter, a basic structure could be made out of martian regolith, which can be used to create bricks. But any home on another planet would need added protection against harmful space radiation.
