About 500 miles down into Jupiter, the temperature is roughly several thousand degrees Fahrenheit ; a commonly cited estimate is around 6,100 F at about that depth, though the exact value depends on the model and pressure profile used. Jupiter doesn’t have a solid surface, so temperature changes continuously as you go deeper into its atmosphere and interior.

What that means

  • Jupiter is a gas giant, so “down” really means deeper into denser layers of gas and fluid.
  • At moderate depths, the temperature rises fast because pressure climbs rapidly.
  • By the time you reach hundreds of miles down, conditions are already far beyond anything humans or normal spacecraft could survive.

Practical estimate

If you want a single-number answer for a forum-style post, use about 6,100 F (3,400 C) at 500 miles down as a rough estimate. A stricter scientific phrasing would be: “on the order of thousands of degrees Fahrenheit, with the exact value uncertain because Jupiter’s interior is not directly measurable.”

TL;DR: 500 miles down on Jupiter is extremely hot—roughly around 6,100 F , give or take depending on the model.
