come on thats not why theres strips on Jupiter really because it spins real fast.
-
I eat green carrots!

I think a hawk can be seen flying past the window at 1:51.

It is misleading to say that Jupiter has bands because of its fast spin because that implies that the earth doesn't also have atmospheric cells, which it does. Also, the way you phrase it gives off the impression that the Coriolis force is dependant on radius, which it isn't.
-
Galileo did not know how far Jupiter was away, so how could he have measured the speed of light? He merely discovered that light has a speed. That is different. How and when did we measure the distance of earth, sun and jupiter for the first time anyway?

I could be remembering this totally wrong, so please feel free to correct--
I remember from another documentary about Jupiter that the shift from gas to liquid as one travels deeper into Jupiter is totally gradual, or a spectrum. There's no ocean/sky horizon. As the hydrogen and other gasses get pressed more and more together from the gravity, they get more and more like liquid until, after awhile, it's obviously liquid, but there's no clear turning point. Also, I can't remember if that liquid part has most of the planet's helium. Helium is almost never NOT a gas, but Jupiter might have enough gravitational pressure to push it together into a liquid? I know Jupiter isn't massive enough to compress its core materials into thermonuclear fusion, but I don't think it's terribly far away from being massive enough to fuse them, either. Would it need to be, like, 3 times bigger? I can't remember, sorry. -
Galileo got in trouble with the Catholic church, not the Christian church. Ppl need to be aware that christianity and Catholicsism are two different and distinct belief systems

I eat green carrots? Why not I eat green celery because that actually makes sense...
-
In mythology, Ganymede was a boy that Jupiter used to molest.
-
If Jupiter is mainly hydrogen gas, why all of the different colors?
-
Frisbee. 1:51

-
If it's all gas why doesn't it explode?
-
Wait so you don't know if it has a surface, but you do know that it has volcanic activity? How does that work?
-
Could it be possible that Jupiter is a cooler Brown Dwarf?

Good God I HATE HATE HATE YouTube's new dog-fucker commenting system. Every time I click to see what comment a comment is a Reply do, it opens a new tab I didn't want. I don't mean to sound critical, but some brain-dead incompetent dog-fuckers at Google must have designed this new dog-fucking Comment system while they were drunk.

Combustion of hydrogen is a reaction with oxygen. You can have as much hydrogen as you want, without oxygen (or another reagent with which it can start an exothermal reaction) it won't do anything.
-
how much hydrogen is on it? there are other flammable gases.
-
There isn't much oxygen on Jupiter, so I don't think anything would happen.
-
What would happen if you lit a match on Jupiter?
