what would happen if an astronaut were to walk on jupiter?

Question

(pretend it's possible) what would he see or what would it feel like? describe temp, climate, geography, etc.

Answer 1

Jupiter is a "gas planet", you can't really land on it, as long as you get close to it, you'll absorbed ASAP into its huge storm and whirlpool

Answer 2

on the jupiter,the pressure and temperature increase remarkedly towards the center of the planet, whilst the atmosphere grows denser and its properties change. At a depth of around 50,000 km, the pressure is so great that the hydrogen solidifies into a substance that acts like a metal.

so when i step on it, the first thing i experience is death.

well, just if you wanted to know, it would be very difficult to go to jupiter since there are 28 satellites and they will be rotating jupiter. so when our space craft comes near it, the satellite will hit it and bang!

Answer 3

You can't land on Jupiter the same as you can't land on a cloud.
