Can you set fire to Jupiter?

Jupiter is made up of gas, mostly hydrogen, but it isn’t on fire. To burn the hydrogen gas, you would also need oxygen, but there is very little oxygen on Jupiter. But they don’t start any fires because there is no oxygen.

What would happen if the atmosphere was 100 oxygen?

At a certain point, it can be downright poisonous for humans. If you breathe in too much pure oxygen, too fast, it creates free radicals. But that could only happen if we evolved and adapted to live in an oxygen-only atmosphere. If it happened instantly, your chest would be hurting each time you took a deep breath.

Could a human survive in the early atmosphere on Earth?

Today, oxygen makes up roughly 21 per cent of our air, but it was virtually non-existent in Earth’s early atmosphere. Between 850 and 600 million years ago, oxygen concentrations increased steadily from 2 to about 10 per cent: still not enough for humans to survive on.

Will you weigh more if you travel to Jupiter?

Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System with the most mass. Because of Jupiter’s mass, you would weigh more on that planet than on any other one in our Solar System. If you weighed 68 kg on Earth then you would weigh 160.7 kg on Jupiter, over twice your normal weight.

Could you fly straight through Jupiter?

A Solid Core In the distant future, engineers may be able to build a spacecraft that can withstand the conditions inside a gas giant like Jupiter, but even if they do, the craft won’t be able to fly straight through the planet.

Could life exist if air contained only oxygen?

Without oxygen, life on Earth would not exist as we know it. About 21 per cent of air is oxygen, a vital ingredient for living organisms to carry out the most efficient method of converting food into energy using aerobic respiration.

Could humans survive 100 million years ago?

If we used a time machine to travel back to a prehistoric period, the earliest we could survive would be the Cambrian (around 541 million years ago). For a more comfortable existence, you might be better off skipping ahead 100 million years to the Silurian.
