Sending humans and building colonies on the planet Mars is the dream of NASA scientists. When compared with the planet Mercury or Venus, the condition of the planet Mars is indeed much more feasible than the two previous planets.
However, have you ever imagined what it would be like if humans were sent to the planet Jupiter? So what will happen if humans go there? Reported Bussines InsiderHere are five terrible things that will happen to humans if they land on Jupiter.
1. First, Jupiter will attract you with its strong gravity
Jupiter is the planet with the strongest gravity in our Solar System. according to PhysThe planet Jupiter itself has a gravitational force of 24.79 m/s² or about 2.5 times stronger than Earth’s gravity.
So strong, the planet will attract anything that comes close to it, including spacecraft. Once pulled, you will enter Jupiter’s upper atmosphere at a speed of 180,000 km/h.

2. You will be tossed around in a whirlwind of the strongest winds in the Solar System

After traveling for 3 minutes through the atmosphere, you will arrive at the clouds of Jupiter. according to INSH, the difference is that Jupiter’s clouds are not made of water, but ammonia with a temperature of -150 degrees celsius. In this area, you can still see the sun.
However, because the distance between Jupiter and the sun is 778 million km, the presence of the sun will not make the surrounding conditions brighter or warmer. The problem doesn’t stop there, Jupiter’s clouds create a whirlwind of up to 482 km/h.
This tomb will make the spacecraft and the crew in it sway before descending to the surface of Jupiter.

Down again about 120 km down, the sun was completely out of sight. The atmosphere also turned dark and the only light came from a thunderstorm that occurred on Jupiter. Surprisingly, the deeper you explore, the warmer it gets.
Eits, Do not be too happy, yet. Even though the temperature is getting warmer, the pressure is also getting stronger. according to INSH, in this region the pressure is a thousand times stronger than before.
In 1995, NASA sent their unmanned spacecraft called Galileo to unravel the mysteries of Jupiter. Unfortunately, the craft could only last for 58 minutes before being crushed by Jupiter’s pressure in this region.

4. Melts at a temperature of thousands of degrees Celsius

Let’s suppose the plane you are flying is stronger than Galileo’s. However, does that mean you made it to the bottom of Jupiter safely? The answer is probably no. The deeper you enter Jupiter, the higher the temperature will be.
according to Business Insider, at a depth of 2,500 miles, the temperature reaches 6,100 degrees Fahrenheit. At this high temperature, any metal and plane would melt. Unfortunately in this precarious situation, you can’t ask anyone for help. Because Jupiter’s mighty atmosphere absorbs radio waves and cuts off contact with the outside world.

5. Fall into Jupiter’s terrible ocean

Although it has no land, Jupiter does have oceans. Again, Jupiter’s oceans contain not water but metallic hydrogen. This ocean is located about 13,000 miles from the outermost part of Jupiter. according to Futurism, because it contains metallic hydrogen, anything that sinks into it will no longer be able to see anything.
This ocean also serves as an electric generator for Jupiter. Because the existence of the ocean coupled with its fast rotation creates an electric current of 10 million amps, and super bright aurorae in Jupiter’s polar region.
Basically, Jupiter is a giant version of Venus. This planet is not friendly to humans, even ‘heart’ destroying a NASA plane that has flown all the way just to visit it.
