It is a planet which does not contain any gases.

B.

Jupiter is the second largest planet of the Solar System.

C.

It has the shortest day in the Solar System.

D.

It has only two moons.

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (C) It has the shortest day in the Solar System.

Explanation:

Jupiter is known for having the shortest day in the Solar System. Its day lasts only about 9.9 hours, meaning it completes one rotation around its axis in less than 10 hours. This is due to its rapid rotation.

Information Booster:

• Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System, not the second-largest. The second-largest planet is Saturn.
• Jupiter is primarily made of gases (mainly hydrogen and helium), and thus it does not lack gases.
• Jupiter has over 79 known moons, including Ganymede, the largest moon in the Solar System.
• The planet is known for its Great Red Spot, a giant storm that has been active for centuries.
• Jupiter's short day is a result of its large size and fast rotation speed.

Additional Information:

•  Jupiter is primarily a gas giant and contains a massive amount of gases like hydrogen and helium.
•  Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System, not the second-largest.
•  Jupiter has more than 79 moons, with major ones like Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.
