> Which planet in our solar system has the strongest gravitational pull?And the answer is: Jupiter. Photo credit: NASA, ESA, A. Simon (Goddard Space Flight Center), and M.H. Wong(University of California, Berkeley)Every planet has a different gravitationalpull. As the largest and most massive planet in our solar system, Jupiter hasthe strongest gravity. In fact, on Jupiter you would weigh 2.4 times what you doon Earth.Jupiter isn't just the largest planet in our solar system – it's also one withsome of the most interesting qualities. Scientists sometimes refer to this giantas a "failed star" due to the large amount of helium and hydrogen in itsatmosphere, but Jupiter does not have enough mass to trigger a fusion reactionat its core. If our solar system had about four more Jupiters to put together,this gas giant might have a chance at star status. Until then, though, it'llkeep on spinning as our solar system's fifth planet from the sun.While it can't become a star, Jupiter is capable of a few weird things. For one,if Jupiter were to grow in mass, it would actually get smaller. Additional masson the planet would cause it to grow in density, and therefore its gravity wouldincrease and pull the planet inward. Jupiter is also home to an eternal storm (which might be just as ominous as itsounds). The Great Red Spot that's often visible on Jupiter's surface is apersistent, anticyclonic storm that's been raging on the planet for millennia.In fact, the Spot was first identified in 1665 by astronomer Giovani Cassini.Today, it's big enough to contain two or three Earth-sized planets, but at thetime of its discovery it was estimated to be almost twice as large. Jupiter shines so brightly that it's visible to the naked eye. So, next time youwant to feel grateful for the lack of eternal, gaseous storms on our lovelyEarth's surface, train your eyes high in the sky. If you're lucky, you mightcatch a moon or two, too.
