The logical relationship between Mars and Jupiter

The logical relationship between Mars and Jupiter: the names have nothing to do with their composition. Jupiter and Mars will get closer and closer, and the angular distance between them will be within 0 42'.

The atmosphere of Mars is mainly carbon dioxide (95.3%), which is thin and cold, spreading all over craters, canyons, sand dunes and gravel, and there is no stable liquid water. The southern hemisphere is an ancient highland full of impact craters, while the northern hemisphere is a younger lowland plain. The largest volcano on Mars-Mount Olympus and the largest canyon-Mariner Canyon.

Seen from the earth, Jupiter's apparent magnitude can reach as high as -2.94. And you can already shine the shadow on the ground. Jupiter is the third celestial body with average brightness in the night sky after the moon and Venus (Mars can briefly surpass Jupiter's brightness at some points in its orbit).

Characteristics of Jupiter

Jupiter is a giant planet, its mass is one thousandth of that of the sun, but it is 2.5 times that of other planets in the solar system combined. Jupiter's main component is hydrogen, but helium, which accounts for only one tenth of the molecules, accounts for a quarter of the total mass; It may have a rock core and heavy elements, but there is no clearly defined solid surface.

Because of its rapid rotation, Jupiter's appearance is oblate. The atmosphere is divided into different zones according to latitude, and there are turbulence and storms at the junction. The most obvious example is the Great Red Spot, which is a huge storm that has not stopped since the telescope first saw it in the17th century.
