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.

Can Jupiter ever support life?
Ingredients for Life? Jupiter cannot support life as we know it. But some of Jupiter's moons have oceans beneath their crusts that might support life.
What is Jupiter's ability to support life?
Scientists may have ruled out alien life on Venus, but Jupiter still holds promise. Studying probes that visited other planets, researchers found that Jupiter's clouds have a high enough concentration of water, and a viable temperature, for life to exist — assuming other requirements, like nutrients, are also present.
Why can't life exist on Jupiter?
Jupiter's environment is probably not conducive to life as we know it. The temperatures, pressures, and materials that characterize this planet are most likely too extreme and volatile for organisms to adapt to.
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 would living on Jupiter be like?
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.
Could Europa have life?
The type of life that might inhabit Europa likely would not be powered by photosynthesis – but by chemical reactions. Europa's surface is blasted by radiation from Jupiter. That's a bad thing for life on the surface – it couldn't survive. But the radiation may create fuel for life in an ocean below the surface.
Does Uranus support life?
Uranus' environment is not conducive to life as we know it. The temperatures, pressures, and materials that characterize this planet are most likely too extreme and volatile for organisms to adapt to.
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.
Is Saturn habitable?
Saturn cannot support life as we know it, but some of Saturn's moons have conditions that might support life.
Can we live in Pluto?
It is irrelevant that Pluto's surface temperature is extremely low, because any internal ocean would be warm enough for life. This could not be life depending on sunlight for its energy, like most life on Earth, and it would have to survive on the probably very meagre chemical energy available within Pluto.
Can we live on Titan?
Although there is so far no evidence of life on Titan, its complex chemistry and unique environments are certain to make it a destination for continued exploration.
Why is Jupiter so radioactive?
The huge region around the planet where Jupiter's magnetic field controls the environment is called its magnetosphere. ... It is Jupiter's combination of a strong magnetic field, Io's prodigious source, and the magnetic coupling of charged particles to the planet's rapid (10-hour) spin that drives the intense radiation.
Can a human survive Jupiter's gravity?
Jupiter is made of mostly hydrogen and helium gas. If you tried to land on Jupiter, it would be a bad idea. You'd face extremely hot temperatures and you'd free-float in mid-Jupiter with no way of escaping. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.
Does Jupiter have oxygen?
What are some of the gases on Jupiter? The gases include nitrogen, hydrogen, helium, methane, and ammonia. ... There is no oxygen on Jupiter like there is on Earth. The plants on Earth have made the oxygen that we breathe.
Can you walk on Jupiter?
There is no firm surface on Jupiter, so if you tried to stand on the planet, you sink down and be crushed by the intense pressure inside the planet. ... If you could stand on the surface of Jupiter, you would experience intense gravity. The gravity at Jupiter's surface is 2.5 times the gravity on Earth.
