Glossary term: 木星
Description: 木星是太阳系中最大的行星，也是距离太阳第五远的行星。它是一颗气态巨行星，半径为 7.13 万公里，大约是地球半径的 11 倍。木星的质量（地球质量的 318 倍）比太阳系中所有其他行星和较小天体的总和还要大。
它与太阳的典型距离为 7.78 亿千米，约为 5 个天文单位（地球与太阳的距离），完成一个轨道需要不到 12 年的时间。截至 2023 年，天文学家已经探测到 90 多颗围绕木星运行的卫星或天然卫星。
它肉眼可见。它的英文名称源自罗马的众神之王。用小型望远镜观察，我们可以看到不同颜色的云带和一个巨大的红色圆形风暴区（即所谓的大红斑）。在过去的几十年里，已经有一些太空探测器被送往木星，2016 年，美国国家航空航天局的 "朱诺 "号宇宙飞船开始对木星及其卫星进行更详细的探索。
