The last time Earth was hit by a blast on this scale was during the 1859 Carrington Event, which was strong enough to give electric shocks to telegraph operators and set sheets of paper alight.

You'll quickly hit the denser atmosphere ... At 13,000 miles down, you reach Jupiter's innermost layer. Here the pressure is 2 million times stronger than at Earth's surface.

When Jupiter was young, about 4.5 billion years ago, a protoplanet with 10 times the mass of Earth crashed head-on ... goes through the atmosphere and hits the core head-on," Isella said.

Previous research claimed that the rock was a “long-period” comet from the Oort Cloud—an icy sphere of debris around the outer solar system—and that Jupiter caused it to hit Earth.

About the same diameter as Earth’s moon, the innermost of Jupiter’s four giant moons is covered in volcanoes, some emitting sulfurous plumes hundreds of miles into space. It’s been imaged by ...

Hydrogen and helium separate at pressures and temperatures found within the gas giant Jupiter’s marbled exterior ... reaching pressures nearly 2 million times Earth’s atmospheric pressure ...

If a person with a mass of 55kgs was to travel to Jupiter or Pluto, the effects of gravity would be very different from those on Earth. Gravity is the pull that a planet exerts towards its centre.
