![]() ![]() At an altitude of 194 km there begins a very rapid increase in temperature, suggesting the presence of a thermosphere. The following table gives the atmospheric pressure at various altitudes above the datum level.Īir temperatures decrease as altitude increases up to an elevation of about 123 km, where the coldest atmospheric temperatures are found. The pressure-altitude profile is globally constant and independent of temperature. The scale height varies with altitude, which is a change from pre-1.0 versions of the game. Like all other atmospheres in the game, Jool's atmosphere fades exponentially as altitude increases. Because of the low molar weight, Jool air at the datum level is only about 2 times as dense as Kerbin air at sea level. The molar mass of Jool's atmosphere is comparable to the real life planet Jupiter. Although the composition of Jool's atmosphere is unknown, these values suggest that it consists mostly of hydrogen and helium. The average molecular weight of Jool air is 2.2 g/mol, and its adiabatic index is 1.43. At an altitude of 91,554 m on Jool, the atmospheric pressure is the same as at sea level on Kerbin (1 atm). Compared to the atmosphere of Kerbin, Jool's atmosphere has 1875 times the mass, 50 times the surface pressure, and nearly 3 times the depth. Jool has an extremely dense, cold atmosphere with a mass of approximately 8.8×10 19 kilograms (about one ten-millionth that of Jupiter), a datum level pressure of 5066.25 kilopascals (50 atmospheres), and a depth of 200,000 meters. Temperature and pressure of Jool's atmosphere as a function of altitude. Jool has animated eddies and vortices in high quality. At this point, anything that hits this altitude at any speed will be completely destroyed. In versions following 0.23, the craft won't stop at an altitude of -100 m, instead it will continue descending until it gets to -250 m. In KSP1, it was possible to land and plant flags on Jool before v0.23. While its distance from Kerbin makes it difficult to reach, it is one of the most appealing targets for missions due to its large and complex system of five moons: Laythe, Vall, Tylo, Bop, and Pol. Its extremely high gravity makes orbital maneuvers unpleasantly expensive. Aside from Kerbol itself, Jool has the largest diameter and greatest mass of all celestial bodies in the Kerbol System. It is the Jupiter analog for Kerbal Space Program. Jool is a gas giant and the sixth planet orbiting Kerbol. ![]() ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 The distances are given from the body's center, not from the surface (unlike ingame). ![]()
