Question

5 select the correct text in the passage. which sentence best states the central idea of the passage? juno adapted from nasa juno is a nasa spacecraft that is orbiting jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. juno launched in 2011 and arrived at jupiter in 2016. juno is an orbiter. orbiters fly around, or orbit, other bodies in space to study them. orbiters circle above the atmosphere of planets. juno will be in polar orbit for about 20 months. junos first orbit will last 53.5 days. this long orbit allows the spacecraft to slow down and be captured in the planets gravity. then juno begins its 14 - day science orbits. during the science orbits, all of the spacecrafts science instruments are on, and juno is capturing data. juno will orbit jupiter 37 times, coming within 4,200 kilometers (2,600 miles) of the tops of the planets clouds. at the end of its 37th revolution around the planet, the orbiter will deorbit. the spacecraft will dive into jupiters atmosphere and burn up. science instruments on board juno study jupiters atmosphere, magnetic field, and gravitational field. juno is measuring the amount of water and ammonia in jupiters atmosphere to help scientists learn how giant planets formed. juno is studying jupiters atmosphere under the clouds to find what jupiter is made of. by mapping jupiters gravitational and magnetic fields, juno can determine the mass of jupiters core.
