Statistics: Orbit: 778,330,000 km (5.20 AU) from Sun Diameter: 142,984 km (equatorial) Mass: 1.900e27 kg Fifth planet from the Sun and the largest by far. Fourth brightest object in the sky. Mythology: In Roman mythology, Jupiter (Zeus in Greek mythology) reigned supreme on Mount Olympus. His titles included Fulgur (thrower of lightning), Tonans (maker of thunder), Invictus (protector in battle), and Triumphator (bestower of victory). He was also known as the god of justice. Became king of the gods after the overthrow of Saturn. Jupiter's wife was Juno (Hera in Greek mythology) who was very jealous of the attention that Jupiter paid to other goddesses and women. Composition: The gas planets do not have solid surfaces, their gaseous material simply gets denser with depth (the radii and diameters quoted for the planets are for levels corresponding to a pressure of 1 atmosphere). What we see when looking at these planets is the tops of clouds high in their atmospheres (slightly above the 1 atmosphere level). Jupiter is about 90% hydrogen and 10% helium with traces of methane, water, ammonia and 'rock'. Jupiter's interior is unknown. Polarity: Second polarity: Jupiter - Mercury with Sun as the Middle The influences of Jupiter and Mercury can compliment each other. Jupiter stands for harmony whereas Mercury creates chaos. Spiritual aspects: According to Steiner Jupiter is instrumental in the 'moulding' of solid form, giving shape to organs and muscles. This force expresses itself in symmetrical, even movement, hardening and softening of tissue. There is a connection to the liver. Together with Mercury, Jupiter regulates the flow pf sap in plants. Preparation 506 (Dandelion) embraces Jupiter. 506 acts as a mediator between the silica forces of the cosmos and the forces surrounding the plant itself. Some far out R.S. quotes on the solar system
