Jupiter
Jupiter (Latin) [from Jov + pater father; probably from same root as Greek Zeus and Sanskrit dyaus bright sky] The sky god or the ruler of heaven, the father of gods, identified in popular thought among the ancients with the Greek Zeus. He corresponds to the Hindu Brihaspati. The sixth world of the ancient Syrians was that of Jupiter or Bel, and was ruled by the Dominions (SD 1:435). See also ZEUS
Also the fifth planet from the sun in the solar system, regarded as one of the seven sacred planets of the ancients. In theosophy the regent or rector of Jupiter exercises a particular influence over globe B of the earth-chain, and also the globe on the ascending arc preceding globe A. Its zodiacal houses are Sagittarius and Pisces; its day is Thursday.
The Master KH remarked to Sinnett: "your science has a theory, I believe, that if the earth were suddenly placed in extremely cold regions -- for instance where it would exchange places with Jupiter -- all our seas and rivers would be suddenly transformed into solid mountains; the air, -- or rather a portion of the aeriform substances which compose it -- would be metamorphosed from their state of invisible fluid owing to the absence of heat into liquids (which now exist on Jupiter, but of which men have no idea on earth). Realize, or try to imagine the reverse condition, and it will be that of Jupiter at the present moment.

Jupiter
the principal deity of the ancient Greeks and Romans. He was worshipped by them under various epithets. Barnabas was identified with this god by the Lycaonians (Acts 14:12), because he was of stately and commanding presence, as they supposed Jupiter to be. There was a temple dedicated to this god outside the gates of Lystra (14:13).

Jupiter
(a father that helps), the Greek Zeus. The Olympian Zeus was the national god of the Hellenic race, as well as the supreme ruler of the heathen world, and as such formed the true opposite to Jehovah. Jupiter or Zeus is mentioned in two passages of the New Testament, on the occasion of St. Paul's visit to Lystra, (Acts 14:12,13) where the expression "Jupiter, which was before their city," means that his temple was outside the city. Also in (Acts 19:35)

Jupiter
The largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter is the fifth planet in order from the Sun and marks the beginning of the outer solar system. It is a gas giant planet with a diameter eleven times that of the Earth. Although the most massive of the planets, it is still dwarfed by the Sun, containing only 0.1 per cent of a solar mass. Its composition is the same as that of the Sun's, however, being mostly hydrogen and helium with only traces of the other elements. Jupiter, in common with the other gas giants has no solid surface. Instead, its atmosphere becomes thicker and thicker until the hydrogen is compressed into exotic states of matter which behave more like a metal than a gas. The cloud tops contain belts and zones of colour thought to indicate the depth and composition of the clouds. Also visible are huge cyclonic storms such as the great red spot. Jupiter possesses sixteen natural satellites, four of which are easily visible to observers on the Earth. They are known as the Galilean satellites and, in order of distance from Jupiter, are Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. Its equatorial radius is 71,500 km and its mass 1.9 x 1028 kg.

Jupiter
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest planet within the solar system. It is two and a half times as massive as all of the other planets in our solar system combined. Jupiter, along with Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, is classified as a gas giant. Together, these four planets are sometimes referred to as the Jovian planets, where Jovian is the adjectival form of Jupiter.
