Jupiter’s atmosphere is composed of 90% hydrogen and 9.9% helium and .1% other gases such as sulfur‚ methane‚ ammonia‚ and water vapor. It is able to hold its atmosphere in because of its massive gravitational pull that is around 2.5 times stronger than earth’s pull.

The Life Cycles of Stars In the universe‚ there are hundreds of billions of stars. They are formed when gas and dust from space "clump" together. As the mass grows larger‚ gravity takes over and a core begins to form. The core becomes extremely dense and this compaction causes temperatures within it to rise to the point where nuclear fusion (the burning of hydrogen in a chain reaction) can begin. The heat generated by fusion can reach 24 million degrees F (Fahrenheit). "That amount of heat keeps
