  1. That's like asking the temperature of the Earth. It's hot in one place but cold in another.

    The first link says the core might get as high as 43,000 degrees Fahrenheit.  It's not like we've sent a probe with a thermometer though.

    The second link says the upper atmosphere is -193 degrees Fahrenheit but the cloud layer is as high as 63 degrees Fahrenheit.


  2. it is -162 Fahrenheit at 1 bar and -258 at 0.1 bar

    bar is a unit for pressure 1 bar= 100 kPa (kilopascals)

    and surface pressure on jupiter is between 20 to 200 kPa.

    so i would go with something between -258 to -162 Fahrenheit for the temperature.

  3. Jupiter has a vast range of temperatures. The outermost layers are exposed to the near absolute zero temperatures of space, while the core of the planet has high temperatures because of the intense pressure of the entire planet bearing down at it.

    At the cloud tops, the temperature of Jupiter is thought to be -293 degrees F. As you descend into the planet, temperatures increase. When the pressure of the atmosphere is about 10 times what we have on Earth, the temperatures are roughly room temperature - about 68 degrees F.

    As you continue to descend into Jupiter, the temperature and pressure increase dramatically. Once you get deep enough, liquid hydrogen is heated to the point that it becomes a liquid. At this point, scientists think the temperature is 17,540.33 F. And then when you get to the very center of the planet, temperatures are thought to get as high as 64,340.33 degrees F.
