Difference between Gas giant and Jupiter

Gas giant vs. Jupiter

A gas giant is a giant planet composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System.

Similarities between Gas giant and Jupiter

Gas giant and Jupiter have 18 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cassini–Huygens, Giant planet, Gravity, Helium, Hot Jupiter, Hydrogen, Ice giant, Kelvin, Kelvin–Helmholtz mechanism, Konstantin Batygin, Metallic hydrogen, Neptune, New Horizons, Nuclear fusion, Saturn, Solar System, Star, Uranus.

Cassini–Huygens

The Cassini–Huygens mission, commonly called Cassini, was a collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) to send a probe to study the planet Saturn and its system, including its rings and natural satellites.

Gravity

Gravity, or gravitation, is a natural phenomenon by which all things with mass or energy—including planets, stars, galaxies, and even light—are brought toward (or gravitate toward) one another.

Hot Jupiter

Hot Jupiters are a class of gas giant exoplanets that are inferred to be physically similar to Jupiter but that have very short orbital period (P The close proximity to their stars and high surface-atmosphere temperatures resulted in the moniker "hot Jupiters". Hot Jupiters are the easiest extrasolar planets to detect via the radial-velocity method, because the oscillations they induce in their parent stars' motion are relatively large and rapid compared to those of other known types of planets. One of the best-known hot Jupiters is 51 Pegasi b. Discovered in 1995, it was the first extrasolar planet found orbiting a Sun-like star. 51 Pegasi b has an orbital period of about 4 days.

Kelvin

The Kelvin scale is an absolute thermodynamic temperature scale using as its null point absolute zero, the temperature at which all thermal motion ceases in the classical description of thermodynamics.
