Named after the Roman father of the gods, you can recognize Jupiter by the "Great Red Spot", a gigantic, centuries-old hurricane that is almost twice the size of Earth.
Jupiter has at least 90 moons, far more than any other planet, including the four Galilean moons Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Its enormous gravity deflects comets and asteroids.
Jupiter is considered the planet of luck. It is associated with qualities such as optimism, growth, and confidence.
You can see Jupiter with the naked eye on a clear night sky, if you are not in the middle of a big city. Aside from satellites and spacecraft, it is the third brightest object in the night sky after the Moon and Venus.
