Jupiter vs Earth (none / 0)
 Juppiter is a little further away from the sun and does not get much heat from the sun

Jupiter is about 5 times as far away from the sun as Earth is. The flux of photons from the sun varies inversely with the distance from the sun cubed. So Earth receives about (5x5x5)=125 times as many photons per square meter as Jupiter does.

We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.
