giant planet

基本解释

As our primary example of a giant planet, Jupiter can also provide critical knowledge for understanding the planetary systems being discovered around other stars.
作为我们关于巨大行星的首个样本，木星还能提供关键性的知识以助我们去了解那些环绕其他恒星运行的行星系统。
The comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 collided spectacularly with Jupiter in 1994, with the giant planet's gravitational pull ripping the comet apart for at least 21 visible impacts.
苏梅克-列维9号彗星在1994年与木星发生了举世瞩目的碰撞。在这颗巨行星的强大引力拉扯下，彗星被分解而发生了至少21次可见撞击。
Computer simulations show that if there is more than one giant planet in a solar system's family, they will perform a kind of gravitational arm-wrestling match, making their orbits unstable.
电脑模拟显示，如果在一个恒星系统中有超过一个巨行星存在的话，它们会上演一场“重力掰手腕”比赛，这会使得它们的轨道变得不稳定。

Their simulations included the effects of eclipses and tidal heating on climate for an earth-twin in orbit around a Jupiter-like gaseous giant planet.
