Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, and is also known as a gas giant. It is the fifth planet from the sun, and is the largest planet in terms of both mass and volume. Jupiter is about 318 times more massive than Earth, and has a diameter of approximately 86,881 miles (139,822 kilometers).

One of the most recognizable features of Jupiter is its Great Red Spot, which is a giant storm that has been raging on the planet for hundreds of years. The planet also has a strong magnetic field that is about 20,000 times stronger than Earth's, and has more than 50 moons.

Although Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, it is not the closest planet to the sun. That distinction belongs to Mercury, which is the smallest planet in the solar system.
