Its massive body has got a tremendous gravitational pull that affects the other planets in its neighbourhood. The extreme gravitational forces applied by the Jupiter have caused many a meteor showers on its surface. It’s the result of its gravity that has caused more than 16 moons circling around it. The space probes sent by the scientists have shown extreme cold conditions on its moons. The probes have sent some imageries and data showing the signs of water on few of the moons.
