What would happen if you set a fire on Jupiter?

The composition of Jupiter’s atmosphere would change slightly. The amount of molecular oxygen would decrease. Some of the hydrogen will be converted to water vapour. The sulphur becomes various sulphur oxides, methane becomes carbon dioxide and water, ammonia becomes nitrogen oxides and water, etc.

Can you start a fire on Jupiter?

Jupiter is made up of gas, mostly hydrogen, but it isn’t on fire. To burn the hydrogen gas, you would also need oxygen, but there is very little oxygen on Jupiter. Jupiter has lightning storms much like Earth. But they don’t start any fires because there is no oxygen.

What would happen if you hit Jupiter?

As we crash into Jupiter, both planets’ atmospheres will be compressed, rapidly increasing the temperature, and essentially setting the air on fire. But at least we won’t have to worry about colliding with Jupiter’s core, because we’ll never make it there.

What if you light a match on Jupiter?

Originally Answered: what will happenned if we lit the match on jupiter? It would be blown out by the hurricane winds, then extinguished by the lack of oxygen. Jupiter has massive thunderstorms, the size of the earth, with hundreds of lightning bolts per minute.

Is Uranus flammable?

The planet Uranus indeed contains a significant amount of hydrogen and methane, both highly flammable gases. However, the burning of methane or hydrogen requires oxygen. Simply put, there is no free oxygen on the planet Uranus. If I place a lit candle in a jar with no oxygen, its flame will go out.

Can you light Saturn on fire?

No. Much of what makes up Saturn is flammable, but only if you have oxygen enough to burn it. There isn’t enough free oxygen in the entire solar system to burn Saturn. That said, if you took a sample of Saturn’s gas to Earth, the ammonia, methane, and hydrogen would readily burn.
