who invented planet Jupiter?

Answer 1

The name came from the greek god, if that's what you're asking. The romans took the greek god and renamed it, and then the planet was named Jupiter. So the greeks invented the name, and the romans changed it.

Note that planets themselves can't be invented, they're created.

Answer 2

The planet Jupiter has been known since ancient times and is visible to the naked eye in the night sky. The Romans named the planet after the Roman god Jupiter (also called Jove). The astronomical symbol for the planet is a stylized representation of the god's lightning bolt.

The Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and Vietnamese refer to the planet as the wood star, 木星,[4] based on the Chinese Five Elements (curiously enough, through a small telescope, it does somewhat resemble a circular slice of wood in appearance, with the Red Spot being a "knot"). In Vedic Astrology, Hindu astrologers refer to Jupiter as Brihaspati, or "Guru" which means the "Big One". In Hindi, Thursday is referred to as Guruvaar (day of Jupiter).

In 1610, Galileo Galilei discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter, Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto (now known as the Galilean moons) using a telescope, the first observation of moons other than Earth's. This was also the first discovery of a celestial motion not apparently centered on the Earth. It was a major point in favor of Copernicus' heliocentric theory of the motions of the planets; Galileo's outspoken support of the Copernican theory placed him under the threat of the Inquisition.

The pope had issued an official statement, or bull, declaring that the earth was the center of the universe. When Galileo studied the writings and theorems of Copernicus, and compared the theorems to observations of movements observed by his telescope, Galileo declared that the Copernican theory appeared to be correct, the earth revolves around the sun. This placed the church in a position of embarrassment and therefore declared Galileo a heretic.

In 1892, E. E. Barnard observed a fifth satellite of Jupiter with the 36-inch refractor at Lick Observatory in California. The discovery, a testament to his extraordinary eyesight, made him quickly famous. The moon was later named Amalthea.

Answer 3

Jupiter has 63 known satellites of which the four largest, I Io, II Europa, III Ganymede, and IV Callisto, discovered by Galileo in 1610, are by far the most important.

The four Galilean satellites are of fifth and sixth stellar magnitudes and would be visible to the naked eyeif they were not so close to the much brighter parent planet. They are easily visible in binoculars. All the others are faint telescopic objects.

The close approaches of the Voyager and Galileo spacecraft as well as the superior imaging capabilities of the Hubble Space Telescope have shown the four galilean satellites to be very different. I Io is probably the most geologically active body in the solar system. Its surface landforms include active shield volcanoes, calderas, mountains, plateaus, flows, grabens, and scarps. Spacecraft have shown that Io possesses over 80 separate volcanoes. The source of this volcanism is thought to be the transformation of tidal energy into heat as Jupiter's gravity deforms the satellite surface by several hundred feet.

Answer 4

No one invented it, its not a machine...its like saying who invented the animal pig....if you mean, who named the planet Jupiter it was the Romans.

Answer 5

Jupiter was known to ancient societies -- so no one knows who discovered it, See the link below for more details.

Planets aren't invented. They are formed -- usually because gravity causes smaller clumps of matter to collect together.

Answer 6

It is a Natural thing. No body can invent. I thing your question should be who discovered it. It is a pre-historic discovery. Hence, it is difficult to pin-point. The planets of Solar Systems, including the sun are pre-historic.

Answer 8

it was invented by a jewish guy named peter. it was originally jew peter, but over the years it was corrupted to jupiter. I know this is true because i just made it up. take my word for it.

Answer 9

Nobody invented it, I assume you mean discovered and later named it? I dont know...sorry

Answer 10

Nobody invented it ,it was discovered by johannes kepler
