Jupiter is the fifth and biggest planet in our solar system. It also has fifty moons and four of them are the biggest moons in the solar system. The moons are called (biggest to smallest) Io,Europa,Ganymede, and Callisto. Europa might have water beneath the crust so people are trying to find any sign of human life on that moon.Io has the most active volcanoes in the whole solar system. Jupiter has three rings. The first and second rings are composed of small,dark particles. Jupiter has many massive storms on it; one of them is the great red spot. Jupiter can be seen from Earth and is the fourth brightest star in our solar system. If it were 80 times bigger it would be considered a star.
