Jupiter: King of the Planets

The video explores the gas giants, focusing on Jupiter and its moons. Jupiter, the largest planet, is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, with a massive magnetic field and a thin ring system. Its Galilean moons, including Ganymede, Callisto, Io, and Europa, are discussed in detail. Ganymede is the largest moon, Callisto is heavily cratered, Io is volcanically active, and Europa may harbor life due to its subsurface ocean. The video concludes with a transition to Saturn.
