tions reveal that Jupiter’s present orbit is
partly responsible for the consistency of the
other planets’ orbits within the solar sys-
tem
Huge planets like Jupiter have been
discovered in many other solar systems,
but they are far from having a stabilizing
influence on their systems or from protect-

ing any other, smaller planets therein. Peter
D. Ward, a Professor of Geological Sciences
at the University of Washington, says:
All the Jupiters seen today are bad
Jupiters. Ours is the only good one we
know of. And it’s got to be good, or you’re
thrown out into dark space or into your
sun. 27

Another reason why Jupiter is so im-
portant for us is that if it did it not exist,
there would be no life on Earth, due to the
high number of meteorite impacts our
planet would be exposed to. The magnetic
field created by Jupiter’s huge mass bends
the trajectory of comets and meteorites en-
tering the solar system and prevents them
from targeting the Earth. Jupiter acts as a

All the masses, sizes, and distances between
planets in the Solar System were created in a
perfect equilibrium.
