Brief Astronomy Facts About Jupiter
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, 1,300 times larger than Earth (being twice the size of all planets in our solar system combined). It is so far away that its surface is barely affected by the light and heat of the Sun.
Jupiter takes 11.86 Earth years to complete a rotation around the Sun. The approach of this cycle to the 12 signs of the Zodiac means that the planet affects a different sign each year, just as the Sun affects each month. This correspondence in the movements led the first Chinese astrologers to call Jupiter “Star of the year”.
