It's not as obvious as Saturn. But Jupiter does have a huge ring. This is a planetary ring. When you look at it closely, you will see that it really exists, and it is also very beautiful.

Feifei now looks at this beautiful ring and says, "Dad, you know how this ring of Jupiter came into being."

When Zhao Zhongyao heard Feifei's words, he said, "generally speaking, the planetary ring of a planet is because this planet is very huge and its gravity is also very large. In this case, if one of its moons is orbiting closer to its parent planet. Then the great gravity of this parent planet can tear up this satellite. So, when the moon is broken, it will become a planetary ring of the parent planet.

Of course, the rings of planets such as Jupiter and Saturn are not the result of one satellite smashing, but the result of many satellites smashing. Saturn's rings, in particular, are the result of many shattered moons.

Jupiter's rings, relatively speaking, are not very obvious. This shows that Jupiter's rings are just the result of the crushing of a few moons. "

Feifei listened to his father's words, nodded and said, "it seems that this ring of Jupiter is not as beautiful as that of Saturn."

"Yes, Jupiter's rings are not as beautiful as Saturn's. However, we don't have to worry. When we get the sixth Amethyst, we will go to Saturn to look for the seventh Amethyst. " Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and said.

"OK, let's go and look for the sixth Amethyst gem." After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, Feifei wants to see what the rings of Saturn look like!

"Feifei, don't you see Jupiter's great red spot?" Zhao Zhongyao looked at Feifei and said.

After listening to my father's words, Feifei thought that he would like to see Jupiter's great red spot! So he looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "Dad, let's go to see Jupiter's great red spot."

So Zhao Zhongyao drove the spacecraft again and continued to approach Jupiter. Although they are already in the rings of Jupiter. But in fact, they can't see many planetary particles in the ring. That is to see dozens of planetary particles flying around his spaceship.

Zhao Zhongyao is now driving the spacecraft through this planetary ring. And then it's 60000 kilometers away from Jupiter.

When the spaceship arrives at this place, some instruments inside the spaceship will be affected, even the spaceship itself will shake.

Feifei also asked, "Dad, what's the matter? How can our spaceship shake?"

Zhao Zhongyao said, "this is because we are already in the magnetic field of Jupiter. So the instruments on our spacecraft are affected by Jupiter's strong magnetic field. "

"Can our spacecraft continue to approach Jupiter?" And Feifei said.

"Of course, we can keep close to Jupiter." Although Zhao Zhongyao knows that Jupiter has strong gravity. But their spacecraft, as long as it can become some of Jupiter's moons, can also slowly approach Jupiter.

So Zhao Zhongyao drove the spacecraft again and continued to approach Jupiter. Soon, they were only 10000 kilometers away from Jupiter.

Although they are 10000 kilometers away from Jupiter. But it's very close to Jupiter, which is very huge. Almost. It's a thousand kilometers above the earth.

Zhao Zhongyao let the spacecraft fly over the big red spot of Jupiter. Then he looked at Feifei and said, "Feifei, you have a look. This is the big red spot of Jupiter. Can you see it clearly now?"

Flying at this time, you can see this big red spot of Jupiter, which is really spectacular. It turned out to be a huge cyclone. The diameter of this cyclone is about the size of an earth.

"Dad, this big red spot is really spectacular! No wonder we can see it on earth. It's really huge. " Feifei looked at the huge red cyclone above Jupiter and said.

"Of course, such a large cyclone is very rare on this planet Jupiter." Zhao Zhongyao said again.

"Dad, why is this huge cyclone red?" Feifei asked, puzzled.

After listening to Feifei's words every day, he echoed, "Dad, this huge cyclone is really beautiful. But why is it red? "

After listening to Feifei and Tiantian's words, Zhao Zhongyao thought for a moment and said, "I think it may be because this huge cyclone can release the energy inside Jupiter. So it's going to be red. Because Jupiter is a planet close to a star. There is a high temperature core inside, which can release huge energy. And this big red spot may be a window for Jupiter's internal energy to be released outside. "

After listening to Zhao Zhongyao's words, Feifei will know how this big red spot is formed. For this big red spot, why it is red, he will know some reasons.It's just that this big red spot doesn't look good either. Feifei looked at it for a while and then said, "Dad, there's nothing to look at in this big red spot. Should we go to Ganymede. We need to find the sixth Amethyst so that we can go to Saturn and see the beautiful rings. "

After hearing Feifei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said, "well, let's go to Ganymede to have a look! I hope we can find the sixth Amethyst successfully. "

With that, Zhao Zhongyao flew away from Jupiter and toward Ganymede.

Feifei wants to know something about Ganymede. So he looked at Zhao Zhongyao and said, "Dad, can you tell us more about Ganymede?"

After hearing Fei Fei's words, Zhao Zhongyao said, "OK! I'll tell you more about Ganymede. "

Next, Zhao Zhongyao told Feifei something about Ganymede.

Ganymede is a satellite orbiting Jupiter with a revolution period of about 7 days. It ranks seventh among all the moons of Jupiter and third among Galileo's moons in order of distance from Jupiter. It has a 1:2:4 orbital resonance with Europa and Io.

Ganymede is the largest satellite in the solar system. It is larger than Mercury in diameter and has about half the mass of mercury.
