Is it true?

Question

Is it true that you could go all the way thourgh jupiter if you landed on it...would you get hurt or would it just feel like going througha cloud..i know that the gasses are poisonous but if you had a space suit and you stood would you just go all the way thourgh?

Answer 1

it has a small core possibly heavy metals like iron, you would be crushed by its gravity. that guy that said it is solid hydrogen in the center is right, its been a long time since I studied the planets

Answer 2

Jupiter has a small solid core, so you would not make it all the way through.

It is true that the clouds are poisonous, but that would not matter if you are in a sealed environment, as you state you would be. The answers involving gravity are just wrong; it is high but not high enough to crush you, and as you went deeper and deeper into the planet the strength of the gravity would decrease, not increase, since more and more of the mass of the planet would be *above* you.

However, as "Gargoyle" correctly points out, winds and pressure would be a real problem. As would radiation: Jupiter has a very strong magnetic field, with lots of high-energy particles zipping around.

All in all, not a trip I'd want to make.

Answer 3

NOT HARDLY...

Your idea fails to take into account the unbelieveable pressure of the gases pressing down from the surface onto the core of the planet which has (due to the pressure) turned into a molten gas liquid of tremendous heat. The actual center of Jupiter is a solid core of rock, metal and molten hydrogen about ten times the mass of the Earth. The temperature in the core of Jupiter is about 54,000 degrees F.
Temperatures of the upper clouds on the planet are around minus 160 Degrees F. Violent storms rage on the surface of the planet and some last for 5 years or more because of the heat rising out of the center of the planet. So, believe me, space suit or not, sinking into the surface of Jupiter you will burn up rather rapidly way before you reach its center.

in case you were wondering, the various color bands around the planet Jupiter are caused by rising and falling masses of hydrogen gas. The white bright bands around the planet are from rising hydrogen gas. The reddish-brown bands are masses of falling hydrogen gas. These moving masses of gas form some of the most unusual patterns ever seen by observers.

Answer 4

Well, there is a suspicion that Jupiter has a solid core, so going straight through wouldn't work so well.

In addition, Jupiter's gravity would probably mangle you pretty badly. Jupiter is just short of being an actual star, so its gravity is pretty intense.

Then there are the winds - up to hundreds of miles per hour, which would also pose problems.

One could go thousands of miles deep into the atmosphere - at which point the pressures would crush you...

So I'd give it a big old no on passing straight through.

Just my .01

Answer 5

Ok, no one can answer this question for sure. Scientists have not yet determined if Jupiter has a core or not. It is all theory. It may have a small core, or it may be nothing more than gas. Some believe that Jupiter is a failed star, especially since we now know that most solar systems are binary and that ours is unique that we have only 1 sun. Also, you would need more than a spacesuit to protect you from Jupiter's storms. Anyway, I don't have any sources to list for my answers because I don't feel like finding them for you, but please, feel free to look it up. =)

Answer 6

The pressure at the center of the planet compresses the hydrogen gas into something resembling metal.

So, you'd sail through the upper layers just fine, plunge deeper into the clouds, and smack into the solid core. Ouch.

Sorry, no, you would not be able to go all the way through.

Answer 7

Gas does not have to be light. Jupiter has an SG greater than 1, so it is actually heavier than water, even though made of gas. I don’t think you would pass through it as the density would increase the deeper down you went. After the density got greater than your body, you would float, just like you do on water.

Answer 8

No. The general thinking is that Jupiter has a core of metallic hydrogen. That would be like hitting a rock.

Answer 9

If you had a space suit that would adjust for pressure there is no solid mass on Jupiter. Mass, is still mass, and Jupiter has lots of it. Most likely you would die

Answer 10

if you landed on Jupiter you would die instill from its hard core of iron and metals along with its gravity however if you made it through all of that...................... well technically you would still die because of its poisonous gases like you said.

PS you spelled poisonous wrong.
