The atmosphere of Jupiter ranges from frozen gases to; solid or liquid metallic hydrogen or proto-star components (dependent on interior model). Jupiter unlike earth does not have the same types of layers or transitions.

The composition is chiefly hydrogen and helium.

Well, Jupiter belongs to a class of planets called gas giants (or Jovian Planets), and it is mainly composed of hydrogen, but also large amounts of helium and other trace elements and compounds. No one is sure what the interior looks like because it is believed there is no real "surface", just a rocky core surrounded by liquid and gas.

Basically, Yes. yes it does.


Yes, in fact, Jupiter is mostly atmosphere.

It is mostly hydrogen (80%) and Helium (about 17%), but with higher concentrations of other elements and compounds toward the interior, including methane, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and water.

These ratios are similar to those of the solar system as a whole, but slightly higher.

Yes Jupiter does have water. But it isn't "on" Jupiter. It is in the form of water vapor in the cloud tops.

Jupiter does not have any air on it. If you travel to Jupiter, you will not be able to breathe because Jupiter's air is Just Gas. But if you wear An astronaut helmet then maybe you can breathe a little bit.

No it does not have air. Its atmosphere is made up mostly of Hydrogen and other unbreathable gasses.
