                  Jupiter is one of the planets that belongs to our solar system, the Milky Way. It takes the 5th place from being farthest from the Sun and it is the largest planet in the solar system.  Jupiter is known to have dark rings that are made out of dust particles and tiny rocks. Unlike Earth, Jupiter has 63 moons! The 4 largest moons that we know Jupiter has are; Io,Callisto, Europa, and Ganymede. Some of these moons are known to have several volcanoes. On the moon, Europa, scientist are still in debate whether it contains water or not. There are some signs that there is, but nothing has been confirmed. 

             The weather in Jupiter has always known to be very dangerous and hazardous. It is known, that Jupiter contains storms that last hundreds of years. Jupiter has a place called, "The Great Red Spot." This is a storm that rotates around the planet and it hasn't ended. The storm has lasted roaming Jupiter for several centuries. Scientists have discovered that the wind in Jupiter is typically 360 kph. That is incredibly fast! However, because of these unpredictable storms and weather, scientist can not deeply observe the details of this planet, or identify if there was once life on Jupiter.
