It is 11 times as wide as the Earth and is estimated that roughly 1,300 Earths could fit inside Jupiter fact number two. Not only is Jupiter the largest planet but it’s also the fastest it only takes about 10 hours for Jupiter to complete a full rotation on its axis.

Although a day is very short on Jupiter a year is quite long one year on Jupiter is the same as nearly 12 Earth years. fact number three There is a big storm on Jupiter known as the Great Red Spot. The red spot is an anticyclone because the storm rotates counter-clockwise in the southern hemisphere. It has been studied for over 150 years and it is estimated that the Great Red Spot has been on Jupiter for over 300 years.
The red spot is slowly shrinking today the Great Red Spot could fit planet Earth inside it. However a few centuries ago roughly three Planet Earths could fit inside it fact number four.
