A: Jupiter has a surface temperature of -110 degrees Celsius (-166 degrees Fahrenheit) and does not have any solid surface to stand on. Any lifeform would have to breathe hydrogen or helium and eat methane or some other chemical found in the atmosphere.

Why can't life live on Jupiter?
Jupiter is a gas giant, which means it probably does not have a solid surface, and the gas it is made up of would be toxic for us. ... It is also very far from the sun (sunlight can take over an hour to get there) which means that is it very cold.
Can animals live in Jupiter?
It is so hot in some areas that hydrogen is in a liquid metallic state. While organisms on Earth live in areas near volcanoes, the temperatures there do not approach Jovian levels. Jupiter is completely inhospitable to life as we understand it, but its moon Europa has been proposed as a possible habitable zone.
What would happen if we lived on Jupiter?
It has more than 317 times the mass of the Earth, providing its enormous gravity. If you could stand on the cloud tops of Jupiter, you would experience 2.5 times the gravity that you experience on Earth. Then you'd fall to your death, because it's a gas planet, made of hydrogen, the lightest element in the Universe.
Can the planet Jupiter support life?
Jupiter cannot support life as we know it. But some of Jupiter's moons have oceans beneath their crusts that might support life.
Does it rain diamonds on Jupiter?
New research by scientists apparently shows that it rains diamonds on Jupiter and Saturn. ... According to the research lightning storms on the planets turn methane into soot which hardens into chunks of graphite and then diamonds as it falls.
Does the Red Spot on Jupiter move?
Jupiter's Great Red Spot rotates counterclockwise, with a period of about six Earth days or fourteen Jovian days. ... Infrared data have long indicated that the Great Red Spot is colder (and thus higher in altitude) than most of the other clouds on the planet.
Does life exist Europa?
The type of life that might inhabit Europa likely would not be powered by photosynthesis – but by chemical reactions. Europa's surface is blasted by radiation from Jupiter. That's a bad thing for life on the surface – it couldn't survive. But the radiation may create fuel for life in an ocean below the surface.
What would you need to survive on Jupiter?
Jupiter is made up of gas, mostly hydrogen, but it isn't on fire. To burn the hydrogen gas, you would also need oxygen, but there is very little oxygen on Jupiter. Jupiter has lightning storms much like Earth. But they don't start any fires because there is no oxygen.
Could we breath on Europa?
Even though Europa is covered with ice and there is some oxygen in its atmosphere, humans cannot breathe there.
What if you fell into Uranus?
The planet is mostly swirling fluids. While a spacecraft would have nowhere to land on Uranus, it wouldn't be able to fly through its atmosphere unscathed either. The extreme pressures and temperatures would destroy a metal spacecraft.
What if Jupiter exploded?
Once near Jupiter, the big planet's gravitational force would accelerate the Earth's speed to about 37 miles per second. ... If we're lucky, as our planet moves closer to its destination, the earth won't hit any of Jupiter's 79 moons. Earth won't be like that icy planet, though — no impact to the core for us.
What would happen if you fell into Neptune?
As a gas giant (or ice giant), Neptune has no solid surface. ... If a person were to attempt to stand on Neptune, they would sink through the gaseous layers. As they descended, they would experience increased temperatures and pressures until they finally touched down on the solid core itself.
Why is Jupiter so radioactive?
The huge region around the planet where Jupiter's magnetic field controls the environment is called its magnetosphere. ... It is Jupiter's combination of a strong magnetic field, Io's prodigious source, and the magnetic coupling of charged particles to the planet's rapid (10-hour) spin that drives the intense radiation.
Can we live in Pluto?
It is irrelevant that Pluto's surface temperature is extremely low, because any internal ocean would be warm enough for life. This could not be life depending on sunlight for its energy, like most life on Earth, and it would have to survive on the probably very meagre chemical energy available within Pluto.
