90percent hydrogen 10percent helium
It is a gassy planet like Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune
Jupiter's atmosphere is comprised of about 90 percent hydrogen and 10 percent helium. Jupiter is a gas giant and has no real solid surface.
90% Hydrogen10% Helium
Jupiter's atmosphere is 90 percent hydrogen and 10 percent helium. There are also some small amounts of sulfur, ammonia, water vapor and methane.
Jupiter's atmosphere is extremelythick.
Galileo was an unmanned spacecraft designed to study Jupiter and its moons. On 13 July 1995, the Galileo Orbiter and the probe separated for the latter to penetrate Jupiter's atmosphere. Its scientific objectives included measuring Jupiter's temperature, chemical composition and its atmospheric pressure structure. The probe entered Jupiter's atmosphere on 7 December 1995.
The composition of Jupiter's atmosphere is quite different from Earth's--Jupiter is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, the same elements that make up most stars. In fact, we expect that Jupiter has basically the same composition as the Sun. Like the Sun, Jupiter has its own heat source, but Jupiter's heat comes from heat left over from the formation of the planet 4.5 billion years ago, and heat produced today due to the slight contraction of the planet under its own gravity. This means that Jupiter's composition might be very much like the original solar nebula from which it--and the solar system--formed, so investigating Jupiter's atmosphere is a way for us to investigate the early solar system.
There is a large file on Jupiter's composition and other facts - in Wikipedia !
it has a heavy atmosphere
Jupiter has an atmosphere. Actually all the planet except the small core is one big atmosphere.
iron and hytrogen and nitrogen even though they are not minerals they are gasses
No. Jupiter's atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium with no free oxygen.
