What would gravity on Jupiter feel like?

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. If you weighed 100 pounds on Jupiter, you’d weigh 250 pounds on Jupiter.

What happens if you stand on Jupiter?

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.

How do you feel on Jupiter?

The pressure at the center of Jupiter is much higher. At Jupiter’s core, you would feel as much as 650 million pounds of pressure pressing down on every square inch of your body. That would be like having approximately 160,000 cars stacked up in every direction all over your body!

Is Jupiter dense enough to stand on?

(*) Jupiter, for all intents and purposes, doesn’t have a solid surface to stand on. Not any more than you could say that Earth’s atmosphere has it, before you hit Terra Firma.

Why is the gravity on Jupiter so high?

Gravity is highest when you’re on the surface, with all of the planet’s mass below you. When you’re at the center of the planet, gravity is 0 because the pull from different directions cancels each other out. Jupiter isn’t uniform, so the equation becomes more complicated.

Would we be able to stand on Jupiter’s surface?

Would we float on the surface (I don’t think so), or would we be crushed into pieces due to gravity dragging us to the center of the planet with its whole mass above us? (*) Jupiter, for all intents and purposes, doesn’t have a solid surface to stand on. Not any more than you could say that Earth’s atmosphere has it, before you hit Terra Firma.

What is the gravitational force at the center of Jupiter?

When you’re at the center of the planet, gravity is 0 because the pull from different directions cancels each other out. Jupiter isn’t uniform, so the equation becomes more complicated. You get F = gM/r 2, where g is the gravitational constant. M is the mass of the sphere with radius r, this depends on the average density of the sphere.

What is the distance between Earth and Jupiter’s gravity?

Jupiter is 318 times as massive as Earth, so equal gravitational acceleration would come with Earth being sqrt (318) or a bit less than 18 times closer. You’d need to be 1/19 of the way from Earth to Jupiter. The Earth-Jupiter distance is 4.2–6.2 AU depending on planetary alignment.
