Jupiter

2. (astronomy) The fifth and by far the largest planet in the Solar System, a gas giant, represented by the symbol ♃ in astronomy. Jupiter is known for its Great Red Spot and many moons including the Galilean moons.
   • 2022 November 18, Ian Sample, “Earth weighs in at six ronnagrams as new prefixes picked for big and small”, in The Guardian‎^[1]:

     The arrival of the new prefixes means the Earth can now be said to weigh six ronnagrams, and Jupiter about two quettagrams.

4. (Roman mythology) The King of the Gods, also called Jove. Equivalent to the Greek Zeus, Jupiter was one of the children of Saturn. As supreme god of the Roman pantheon, Jupiter was the god of thunder, lightning, and storms, and appropriately called the god of light and sky.
5. (informal) The largest or most prominent member of a group.

   Brazil could be considered the Jupiter of South America.

   Jupiter became the nickname of John Pierpont Morgan in late 19th century finance.

6. A number of places in the United States:
   1. An unincorporated community in Tuolumne County, California, named after a mine.
   2. A town in Palm Beach County, Florida, named in error after the Roman god.
      • 2017 March 1, Hannah Seligson, “Where to get hip in Palm Beach”, in CNN‎^[2]:

        But there’s also a burgeoning food scene in downtown Palm Beach that’s drawing Floridians from Jupiter to Boca.

   3. A township in Kittson County, Minnesota, named after the planet.
   4. An unincorporated community in Buncombe County, North Carolina.
7. A summer resort on the Black Sea in Romania.

• The planet Jupiter usually takes the adjectival form Jovian, and rarely Jupiterian. The demonym of the planet is also Jovian.

• (astronomy, astrology): ♃
