Jupiter has been crowned the "King of the Planets” and is the most massive planet in the solar system. It's a gas giant, like the planets that come after it: Saturn, Uranus and
Neptune. Jupiter is fifth from the sun and resembles a star in composition, but it's not as
massive. The Great Red Spot is a storm Jupiter that has been raging for more than 300
years and is as large as three Earths. Jupiter is kept company by more than 50 confirmed
moons. Ganymede is the largest moon and has its own magnetic field. Jo has hundreds of
active volcanos. Europa and Callisto may have liquid oceans beneath their thin crusts.
