'''Jupiter''' is one of the [[planet]]s. It is named for the highest deity in the Roman pantheon.  

'''Jupiter''' is the fifth [[planet]] from the sun. It is named for the highest deity in the Roman pantheon.  

Jupiter is conspicuous and easy to recognize when you know what to look for, and is easily visible through binoculars. It is not so bright as to instantly draw attention, but it is a good deal brighter than the brightest star. It is in fact the fourth brightest object in the sky (the others being the Sun, the Moon, and the planet [[Venus]]). Jupiter is not only brighter than any star, it also shines more steadily. Jupiter is visible in the sky about half the time, and is often high up and clear of surrounding houses and trees.
