Jupiter is so big that 11 Earths could fit across its equator. If our planet was the size of a grape, Jupiter would be a basketball! When Jupiter is hungry, it gobbles up comets, asteroids, and whatnot. When it's bored, it hurtles everything it manages to capture on wayward trajectories. This gas giant must have caused a lot of destruction over the course of its life – which is around 4.5 billion years. What other secrets does it have?
