If earth and Jupiter swapped places would Jupiter be inhabitable?

Answer 1

No, even if Jupiter gets the increased temperature from better Sun coverage, the massive pressure from the gas on the planet would crush you. Oh yeah, and the atmosphere is not very breathing friendly either

Answer 2

Jupiter would not be inhabitable, since it has no surface, and heats to thousands of degrees from its own internal heat farther down in its atmosphere. Some of Jupiters moons might become inhabitable, however. They would become water worlds, since their oceans would be a hundred miles deep or more, but life on earth started first in the oceans. But wIthout land, there might never be intelligent life. This is only speculation though since earth is the only example of a planet with life that we know of.

Answer 3

No. Along with the extreme gravitational pull of the gas giant and intolerable atmosphere, if Jupiter was as close as Earth's orbit, it would get pulled into the Sun. The speed of the orbit is what maintains the distance from the Sun.

Answer 4

Not in the slightest. Jupiter is a gas giant. That means that its surface is buried under thousands of kilometres of atmosphere, so dense that it actually forces hydrogen to become liquid. Most of that is hydrogen and helium. So no, not a chance.

Admittedly its atmosphere would be burnt away if it was close enough (not sure how close you need to put it to do this), but then you just have a lifeless core, which you woudl then have to terraform (if this is possible).

Answer 5

Absolutely not..! If Jupiter were as close to the sun as Earth is, Jupiter would quickly 'fall' into the sun.

Answer 6

Jupiter won't be habitable as it don't have a surface it's competely gas.
