Jupiter

Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system. It has 16 satellites. Its turn around the sun lasts less than 12 years. You can see four of Jupiter's moons with a pair of binoculars at night. Also Jupiter spins really fast. It only takes 10 hours to go from night to day on Jupiter. For that reason its middle has been stretched out. Rather than round it is short and fat.
