The pressure in Jupiter's atmosphere is great enough to crush a human. Like the other gas giant outer planets, Jupiter has no solid surface. A Galileo probe, released into Jupiter's atmosphere, lasted for just under an hour and traveled 93 miles before the extreme atmospheric pressure crushed it. As the wreckage continued to descend, it likely melted and vaporized in the extreme heat. In addition, the radiation near Jupiter is at least 25 times more powerful than the dose considered deadly to humans. ---- Answer provided by [[Laura Peckyno ]] & [[Robert Peckyno]] [[Image:K2S logosmall.jpg]] Question and Answer extracted from the book [[Kids to Space - by Lonnie Schorer]] <gallery height=180px>Image:9781894959421.jpg|'''Buy This Book''' [http://www.apogeebooks.com/Books/For%20Kids/KidstoSpace.html Click here]</gallery> [[Category:Kids To Space]] [[Category:Kids To Space - JUPITER]]

Return to 09. Is it true that Jupiter's gravity is so strong that if you stepped on the planet, it would suck you in and crush you? Could we survive on Jupiter? (A K2S Question).
