Author: Thea Beckman
Canadian born and South African raised, Thea Beckman AKA Wander Woman Thea, is an experienced travel, food, and wine writer and (amateur) photographer with a devastating love of all of the above. She is a travel bug, a bookworm, and mildly alarmed by how many arthropods she can be at once. When she’s not writing for a living and for pleasure, she enjoys bird-watching, reading, drinking wine, cooking, and SHORT walks on the beach because the summer southeasterly winds in Cape Town are a real bitch. Thea is the author of the book “Why? Because Science!” Facebook @WanderWomanThea Instagram @wander_woman_thea View all posts by Thea Beckman

I would NOT want to be on Jupiter with a 9 hour work day…

Well, if the length of a total day on Jupiter is 10 hours then technically you’d only spend about 1/3 of that actually working. So a “working day” would be closer to 3 hours, in which case you’re winning!
However, I’d think that Jupiter’s perpetually raging sulphurous superstorms would be more of an inconvenience than he length of a working day 😉

If we could get past the lack of atmosphere, daytime temperatures of +400 deg C and night time temperatures of -170 deg C… then sure! Why not? 😉
