Linked from
The 37 pages that link to Jupiter, each with the reason it gives.
NeptuneCompared with: Unlike Neptune, Jupiter is dominated by hydrogen and helium rather than a larger proportion of planetary ices.
Escape velocityBroader topic: Its strong gravity produces a far greater escape speed than Earth's.
Solar SystemBroader topic: Its gravity strongly influences the orbits of small bodies across the system.
Asteroid beltRelated: Its gravity strongly shapes asteroid belt orbits and gaps.
Hot JupiterCompared with: Jupiter provides the familiar gas-giant comparison, but its distant orbit keeps it much cooler.
PlanetBroader topic: Jupiter demonstrates the scale and composition of giant planets.
Voyager 2Related: Voyager 2’s 1979 flyby revealed details of Jupiter’s atmosphere, rings, and moons.
Differential rotationRelated: Its visible cloud bands move at different speeds across latitude.
Nice modelBroader topic: Jupiter’s interaction with Saturn and the planetesimal disk influences the system’s orbital evolution.
Voyager programRelated: Voyager revealed volcanic activity on Io and detailed Jupiter’s rings and atmosphere.
Oort cloudBroader topic: Jupiter's strong gravity helped eject or redirect early icy bodies during cloud formation.
UranusCompared with: Jupiter's immense size and rapid rotation contrast with Uranus's ice-rich interior and extreme axial tilt.
Galilean moonsNarrower topic: Its gravity dominates the moons’ orbits and drives their tidal interactions.
Core accretionBroader topic: Its heavy-element enrichment and inferred interior probe how a giant planet's core formed.
Europa ClipperRelated: Europa Clipper loops around Jupiter to make repeated close passes by Europa.
Grand Tack hypothesisBroader topic: Its inward-then-outward path gives the hypothesis its name and central mechanism.
Gas giantBroader topic: It is the Solar System’s largest example, with a deep atmosphere and likely metallic-hydrogen interior.
Kirkwood gapRelated: Its gravity drives the resonances that clear many Kirkwood gaps.
51 Pegasi bCompared with: 51 Pegasi b is broadly Jupiter-like in mass but orbits vastly closer to its star.
Angular diameterRelated: Its changing angular diameter shows that apparent width depends on distance as well as physical size.
Jupiter's magnetosphereNarrower topic: The planet's interior field and rapid spin supply the system's central magnetic engine.
Laplace resonanceRelated: Its gravity governs the orbits whose periods are locked in the resonance.
Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9Related: Jupiter captured the comet, tore it apart, and absorbed its fragments.
Metallic hydrogenBroader topic: Jupiter’s interior is thought to contain electrically conducting fluid hydrogen.
Rings of JupiterNarrower topic: Its gravity and magnetosphere govern the ring system’s environment.
Didier QuelozCompared with: Unlike Jupiter, 51 Pegasi b completes an orbit in only a few days.
Kelvin–Helmholtz mechanismBroader topic: Slow contraction contributes to Jupiter's excess internal luminosity.
Pioneer 11Broader topic: Pioneer 11’s 1974 flyby used Jupiter as both a scientific target and a route to Saturn.
Great Dark SpotRelated: Jupiter’s Great Red Spot provides the best-known comparison for Neptune’s short-lived storm.
Jupiter massRelated: Its mass supplies the reference quantity represented by one Jupiter mass.
WISE 0855−0714Compared with: WISE 0855−0714 can have temperatures comparable to Jupiter while remaining a far more massive, unbound object.
Equatorial bulgeBroader topic: Its rapid rotation gives it one of the Solar System's most pronounced planetary bulges.
Giant planetBroader topic: Jupiter is the archetypal giant planet and the most massive member of the class in the Solar System.
Formation and evolution of the Solar SystemBroader topic: Its growth and migration strongly shaped the distribution of smaller bodies.
HD 189733 bCompared with: Its distant, cooler orbit contrasts with the intense stellar heating of this hot Jupiter.
Immanuel VelikovskyRelated: His account made Jupiter the source of the matter that became Venus.
Solid hydrogenRelated: Models of Jupiter’s deep interior depend on hydrogen’s behavior under extreme pressure.
