00:00Jupiter is one of our solar system's most mysterious worlds.
00:07But what if you could peel back its swirling clouds?
00:10What would you see as you fell through its depths?
00:13Floating through the uppermost atmosphere,
00:15the gas giant would begin pulling you in at a modest 110,000 miles per hour,
00:21per Business Insider.
00:22In the freezing ammonia cloud tops,
00:24you'd face winds whipping around the planet at over 300 miles per hour.
00:29That's thanks to its brisk 10-hour rotation, says NASA.
00:33Deeper down, you'd sink through thick blooms of sulfur and phosphorus-rich gases.
00:38After about 400 miles, you'd be experiencing pressures nearly 1,000 times what you're used to on Earth.
00:43About 2,500 miles down, get ready for some heat.
00:47We're talking 6,100 degrees Fahrenheit, which is hot enough to melt tungsten.
00:5313,000 miles down would bring you to the innermost layer,
00:57where the temperature is hotter than the surface of the sun.
01:00You'd be falling through the largest ocean in the solar system, says NASA,
01:04made of liquid hydrogen as dense as solid rock.
01:07The pressure would be so intense that the hydrogen might be compressed to an electrically conducting metallic form.
01:14This buoyant metallic hydrogen would counteract the pull of gravity keeping you in place.
01:19If you somehow managed to reach the planet's center, you'd have fallen 44,000 miles,
01:25or five and a half Earths stacked on top of each other.
01:285,500 miles, or five and a half Earths stacked on top of each other.
01:326,500 miles down would come in to feel.
01:336,500 miles down would show the water.
01:34.
01:376,500 miles位 once we USDA羅 quoted a hundred vol.
