What happens if you walk on Jupiter's surface?

First of all, you should know that Jupiter doesn't have a hard surface with rocks like on Earth. Therefore, the phrase "walking on Jupiter's surface" is basically impossible, because Jupiter is one, that is, it does not have a hard and dense surface to set its foot on.

So what happens if an astronaut is released from outer space into Jupiter? Hypothetically, is this astronaut equipped with a destructive magic travel suit?

According to ScienceABC, to know specifically, we first need to have initial information about the phrase

Jupiter is. It was so big that it could hold 1,300 Earth inside. Besides, it is also a giant gas planet, meaning that Jupiter only contains hydrogen and helium gas , similar to the Sun.

Jupiter is the largest solar system.

The stripes you see in the picture above are actually red, yellow, brown and white clouds, all of which are part of Jupiter's atmosphere.

This planet actually doesn't have anything called "surface" , at least in the way we envision on Earth. When someone talks about the surface of a planet, we often refer to the image of a hard, rocky surface. It sounds interesting, but that's not true for Jupiter.

The surface of Jupiter

Unlike Earth, Jupiter has no hard surface . It is a block of gas (and several other things) pulled together and forming a planet. Similar to the Earth's atmosphere, gas in Jupiter's atmosphere is also "bare" , or "upper floor" ; the layers of gas thinning as you move further away from the planet's center and at some point, the atmosphere of Jupiter harmonizes with the space.

So suppose you are dropped from Jupiter's visible atmosphere, when you fall inside the atmosphere about 300,000 km (we will call this "surface" , because it is the point where the gas pressure is 1 bar, close to the pressure at the Earth's surface), you will die from radioactive poisoning !

However, as mentioned above, because you wear a space travel suit that cannot be destroyed, you will certainly not die for this reason. Instead, your falling speed will begin to increase (due to the massive mass of Jupiter), penetrate the upper layers of the atmosphere and burn like a meteorite before hitting the Earth's surface. .

Unlike Earth, Jupiter has no hard surface.

Continuing to fall, you will fall into the middle of Jupiter's upper atmosphere , and you will fall through the ammonia clouds. Fortunately for you, this fall will not ignite you because you have already overcome the thickest part of the atmosphere. The heat from friction and ultrasound pressure will not "turn" you into ash at this stage.

After a few minutes, you . continue to fall, passing through an area with a pressure of 2 bars (double the average pressure on the Earth's surface). Here, you will cross many types of clouds made from ammonia ice, ammonium sulfide and ammonium hydrosulfide.

These clouds are not much different from ordinary clouds, but they are brown and the deeper they fall, the more brown the clouds become.

The more you continue to fall, the higher the atmospheric pressure. The environmental temperature is also increasing (up to 40 degrees Celsius). You will cross the ice clouds, and everything around will darken. After a few minutes, everything will be completely black like ink, the temperature will increase to more than 100 degrees centigrade.

These clouds are not much different from ordinary clouds.

You fall again and the temperature continues to rise. When you enter the inner region of the planet (this area has not been explored by many researchers), the atmospheric pressure and density are quite high, combining these two results in a fall in speed. Your is reduced to a minimum.

At this level, you will see a giant ocean of liquid metal hydrogen , because extremely high atmospheric pressure has turned hydrogen gas into liquid form. Jupiter has the fastest rotation speed in the Solar System, and when it turns, this liquid metal ocean will swirl to form the strongest magnetic field in the solar system.

Finally, when you fall to a pressure point of 2 million bars and high temperatures like the sun, you will not fall again, and . are no longer alive.

Space scientists have not yet really known whether Jupiter is hard and hot, or that it is all gas on the entire planet. Therefore, basically, it is impossible for a person to set foot on Jupiter's surface.
