Yes, but it is still unknown how deep. That is one of the reasons NASA sent spacecraft Juno to the moon.

Does hydrogen exist as a gas a liquid and a solid with Jupiter?

Probably there is some hydrogen in all of these states deep in Jupiter's atmosphere.


Is there any evidence of tectonic plate activity on Jupiter?

No. Jupiter is a gas giant with a very deep and dense atmosphere. We have no information about a solid surface, if it has one.


Did a robot ever land on Jupiter?

No. Nothing can land on Jupiter as it does not have a solid surface. The Galileo spacecraft orbited Jupiter from 1995 until 2002. In 1995 an atmospheric probe with the Galileo mission entered Jupiter's atmosphere to study it. The probe eventually melted as it entered the superheated layers deep in Jupiter's atmosphere. In 2002 the main Galileo space probe burned up in Jupiter's atmosphere at the end of its mission.


Is Jupiter's atmosphere thin?

Jupiter's atmosphere is extremelythick.


Would a Jupiter freeze or burn on Jupiter?

A Jupiter wouldn't freeze or burn because they are the exact same temperature.


What planet is most made of atmosphere?

The planet most made of atmosphere is Jupiter. It is a gas giant primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with a thick atmosphere that extends deep into the planet. Unlike terrestrial planets, Jupiter lacks a solid surface and its atmosphere is characterized by intense storms and winds, including the famous Great Red Spot.


Why is there no atmosphere in Jupiter?

Jupiter has an atmosphere. Actually all the planet except the small core is one big atmosphere.


Can you breathe Jupiter's atmosphere?

No. Jupiter's atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium with no free oxygen.


Would we be crushed by Jupiter's pressure?

Pressure in Jupiter is thought to be as high as 5,000GPa. On earth, typical air pressure is around 100kPa. So, if you fell deep enough into Jupiter you would definitely be crushed. However, the intense radiation in Jupiter would have already killed you long before you reached Jupiter's atmosphere.


What are especially important for exploring the deep atmosphere of a giant planet such as Jupiter?

To explore the deep atmosphere of a giant planet like Jupiter, instruments capable of detecting and analyzing gas composition, temperature, and pressure are essential. These could include sensors for measuring magnetic fields, spectroscopy devices to identify chemical elements, and probes to collect data from deep within the atmosphere. Additionally, designing instruments that can withstand high temperatures and pressures unique to these environments is crucial for successful exploration.


Why is the temperature on the surface of Jupiter much lower than that on earth?

The "Surface" of Jupiter is hard to define as it is a gas giant but the top of the atmosphere (however you want ti define that) is cold due to heat radiating into space. Jupiter is so much farther from the Sun than Earth is, the Sun cannot heat Jupiter's atmosphere. And the heat form the interior (it is actually hotter than the surface of the Sun deep inside Jupiter!) dissipates into space.


What is the huge red spot on Jupiter?

A storm in Jupiter's atmosphere.
