Abstract
⺠MoI of a giant planet reveals important information on the planet's internal density structure. ⺠Juno may determine Jupiter's MoI from its pole precession and the Lense-Thirring acceleration. ⺠There is NO one-to-one correspondence between J2n and MoI. ⺠We find that Jupiter's MoI should lie in the range 0.2629-0.2645. ⺠Jupiter's MoI derived by Ward and Canup 06 is inconsistent with physically plausible interior models.
