Jupiter is the 4th brightest object in sky, after the sun, moon, and Venus. Unlike Earth, Jupiter has 67 moons and 4 large moons; lo, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Jupiter is 90% hydrogen and 10% helium. The vivid colors seen in Jupiter's clouds are the result of subtle chemical reactions. Jupiter also has a really cool spot on it called The Great Red Spot. The GRS is oval 12,000 by 25,000 km that's big enough to hold two earths.
