Jupiter has no proper surface like the Earth does. However at around 5000 kilometres (3000 miles) deep, high pressure causes the gasses of which Jupiter is composed to liquefy. This is a smooth transition from gas to liquid though, so its hard to say at which point the 'surface' actually begins.
It is equally logical to infer that at extreme depths the pressure that liquefies gasses also can create great heat, thus causing solids to liquefy as well, such as certain metals and other crystalline solids.

∙ 10y agoThe actual mineral core is only about 10% of planet, where an inner mantle of a
mixture of gases/minerals is about 50% and the outer mantle of frozen gases is
about 30%. This of course leaves approximately 10% which is truely gaseous.

What would Jupiters moons look like from Jupiters surface?
Jupiter dosent have a surface. And if it did, you wouldn't be able to see the moons because of the 30 mile thick clouds!

How thick is earth's mantle?
Very good question. Many people have been wondering this, actually. How thick is the Earth's mantle? Well, I did some research and found out that the Earth's mantle is about 1800 miles thick, or 2900 kilometers thick. It contains about 80 percent of the Earth's mass. Wow!
What is the composition and approximate thickness of the mantle?
Earths mantle is less dense and very hot. The mantle is 2885km thick.
What part of the earth is 3000km thick?
mantle
