Jupiter has a place on it called the Great Red Spot. It is nearly 3 times the size of Earth.

Did you know that Jupiter has 3 rings? The largest ring is 20 miles thick and 4,000 miles wide.

The gravitational pull on Jupiter is so strong that 100 pounds seems like 240 lbs. That’s over twice as much as the gravitational pull on Earth!
