Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System, known for its immense size and striking features. With a diameter of about 86,900 miles (139,800 kilometers), it is a gas giant predominantly composed of hydrogen and helium. Jupiter's atmosphere is renowned for its dynamic and colorful cloud bands, driven by its rapid rotation, which creates a dramatic striped appearance.

Seen in the image are some of Jupiter's largest moons: Io, Ganymede, Europa. Ganymede is casting a shadow on Jupiter's surface.
