Why is Jupiter hot and cold at the same time?

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun, and the largest in the Solar System. Jupiter is a gas giant, along with Saturn. And there is even a theory saying that Jupiter was important in the formation of our Solar System. So, "Why is Jupiter hot and cold at the same time? ". Let's explore!

It is colder than Antarctica. The surface temperature of Jupiter is 1500 degree Celsius. The surface of Jupiter is a thick mass of ice that never melts, as it receives hardly any heat from the Sun. Jupiter is five times farther away from the Sun when compared to the Earth. Jupiter was called a gas giant. 

Also, it was not possible to find out whether a solid layer existed below the ice. The surface of Jupiter is made of ice, but hot molten material exists inside. The hot molten material was discovered in recent years by astronomers, with radio telescopes. What lies in between the two layers remains a mystery. 

Some scientists believe that an insulating material separates the two. Others believe that water separates the two layers. 

Jupiter is indeed very useful as well as beautiful! It is the fourth brightest object in the solar system. Only the Sun, Moon, and Venus are brighter. It Is one of five planets visible to the naked eye from Earth. It is popularly, known as a 'gas giant'.
