Question

Astronomers claim to have a reasonable model for interior structure of Jupiter. What is the observational basis for this model? Does it make any predictions that have been put to observational tests? How is the interior structure of the Earth known (review Chapter 7 if necessary)? Do you think the interior structure of Jupiter is more or less well-tested than that of the interior structure of the Earth? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer/Explanation:

Observational basis for the astronomical model of Internal structure of Jupiter are designed to fit the observed physical data of Jupiter , such as its mass, radius, gravitational and magnetic field, 1-bar temperature, atmospheric composition, and internal rotation

Although, these Jupiter internal structure models/predictions are yet to be put to observational tests, However, there are some theoretical explanation and consistencies

Interior structure of the earth is known through the study of the seismic waves from the earthquakes that pass throughout the earth surface

Interior structure of Jupiter is less well-tested than that of the interior structure of the Earth because the internal structure was tested and observed by the study of seismic waves of earthquakes that passed throughout the earth surface. Such was not investigated in the Jupiter. Any astrological knowledge from Jupiter was from measuring instruments from the earth's surface.

Answer 2

Any Knowledge about Jupiter comes from Observation of the lights reflected from Jupiter towards Earth, these observation are made to study the internal structure of Jupiter.

Planetary Observation

Astronomer uses different observational models to study the structure of a star, planet, asteroid, comet etc. They claim to have a reasonable model for interior structure of planet like Jupiter, according to them these observational tools are helpful in studying physical structure of Jupiter, it's atmosphere, and gases.

The Answer of second question, The interior structure of the Earth is known through the study of the seismic waves formed by the earthquakes.

Answer of Third Question, The Jupiter's interior is less well tested in comparison to Earth's interior structure, because of numerous reasons like the distance between Earth and Jupiter, the harsh climate of Jupiter, it is easy to study earth's interior struture as we live on it whereas we have to observe Jupiter from earth.
