Jupiter means:
Jupiter known as Zeus in Greece over threw his father Saturn to become king of the gods. He then split the Universe with his brothers Neptune and Pluto (Kids Astronomy.com).
Jupiter is the largest known planet in our solar system. It is a giant planet that has no solid surface, under its atmosphere is a large liquid ocean of hydrogen and water. In fact there is nothing between the ocean and atmosphere. The atmosphere just continues to get thicker and thicker, it is almost as if the sky and the ocean are one.
Jupiter has many satellites as well as moons. Scientists are continuing to find moons orbiting Jupiter. Also, it has a faint system of rings.
Fun Facts About Jupiter:
You can see four of Jupiter's moons With a pair of binoculars at night. Also Jupiter spins really fast. It only takes 10 hours to go from night to day on Jupiter. For that reason its middle has been stretched out. Rather than round it is short and fat. Kind of like when someone spins pizza dough really fast to stretch it out (KidsAstronomy.com).
