The radiant energy budget and internal heat are fundamental properties of giant planets, but precise determination of these properties remains a challenge. Here, we report measurements of Jupiter's radiant energy budget and internal heat based on Cassini multi-instrument observations. Our findings reveal that Jupiter's Bond albedo and internal heat, 0.503 ± 0.012 and 7.485 ± 0.160 W m<sup>-2</sup> respectively, are significantly larger than 0.343 ± 0.032 and 5.444 ± 0.425 Wm<sup>-2</sup>, the pr ...[more]
