Mark: 我认为木星像地球的守护神一样保护着地球,因为它阻止了大型太空岩石撞击地球。我想要成为像木星一样保护总部的人,虽然我并不能像木星那样,但我可以用我有的东西来工作。 Molly: 木星是太阳系中最古老和最大的行星,主要由气体组成,看起来像覆盖着橙色、棕色和奶油色条纹的巨大漩涡状风暴云。如果木星是空的,可以容纳1000个地球。关于木星是地球的守护者,这个说法源于木星强大的引力可能吸引了许多彗星和小行星,使它们撞击木星而不是地球。但是,小空间岩石经常进入地球大气层,它们通常会在到达地球表面之前燃烧殆尽。大型空间岩石可能会造成麻烦,例如,科学家认为古代恐龙是在大约6600万年前一颗大型小行星撞击地球后灭绝的。 Rita: 我认为木星就像地球的保护罩,保护它免受任何伤害。 Earth: 我认为木星正在保护我免受小行星的撞击。苏梅克-列维9号彗星撞击木星而不是地球,这让我相信木星在保护地球。但是,也有研究表明,木星可能并没有起到保护作用,甚至可能将彗星和小行星拉向地球。 Jupiter: 我只是一个拥有巨大引力的行星,我的大小会影响周围的事物,这不是针对地球的,只是物理现象。 Star E. Knight: 有些科学家认为木星可能并没有像人们认为的那样可靠地保护地球,它甚至可能将彗星和小行星抛向地球。
