How long would it take to drive to Jupiter in a car?
Let’s see — the distance between Earth and the sun is about 93 million miles, so the distance to Jupiter is about 500 million miles! How long it takes you to get there depends on how you go. If you could drive a car going 60 miles an hour to Jupiter, it would take you about 950 YEARS to get there!
What would happen if you tried to walk on Jupiter?
Jupiter is made up almost entirely of hydrogen and helium, with some other trace gases. 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. The gravity at Jupiter’s surface is 2.5 times the gravity on Earth.
