What gasses are in the helium layer of the earth?

Helium is a gas, except at extremely cold temperatures.


What gases are the gas giant planets made mostly of?

Jupiter, the first gas giant from the sun. It's clouds are made out of simple gases like hydrogen,helium,carbon dioxide,water and methane,along with clouds of ammonia ice and ammonium hydrosulphide. There are winds up to 600km per hour,travelling in opposite directions which create the distinct bands. Saturn is composed entirely of hydrogen. The top layer is made up of ammonia crystals and below are ammonium hydrosulphide or water. Beneath the layer of cloud,the pressure is so intense that gas is compressed into a liquid. Uranus's atmoshere is mostly hydrogen and helium, with small quantities of methane. This allows the planet to be able to absorb the Sun's rays, giving the planets distinct blue colour. Neptune has no solid surface to land on. It may have a tiny core of rock.Neptune's atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium with traces of methane.


What type of gasses does neptune have?

Neptune is made up of a gas called Methane, which makes it the bluey colour. the core of Neptune is made out of hot melted rock, the top layer is made out of hydrogen and helium, with a little bit of Methane mixed into it.


What gases do Jovian planets contain?

The Jovian planets, or "Gas Giants" are not all comprised of the same gases. The Traditional Jovian planets, Jupiter and Saturn, contain mostly hydrogen and helium with other heavy elements making about 3 to 10 percent of its mass. The structure contains an outer layer of molecular hydrogen, over a layer of "metallic" hydrogen that can actually conduct electricity due to the immense pressure it's under. Uranus and Neptune are considered a subclass of Gas Giants called "Ice Giants", because they are made up primarily by water, ammonia, and methane, along with a bit of hydrogen and helium in it's outer atmosphere. The hydrogen and the iced water, ammonia, and methane of these planets are what gives the Ice Giants their rich aquamarine and baby blue color.


What is Saturn made out of mostly?

Source: wikipedia. Saturn's interior is probably composed of a core of iron, nickel and rock (silicon and oxygen compounds), surrounded by a deep layer of metallic hydrogen, an intermediate layer of liquid hydrogen and liquid helium and an outer gaseous layer.[17] Electrical current within the metallic hydrogen layer is thought to give rise to Saturn's planetary magnetic field, which is slightly weaker than Earth's and around one-twentieth the strength of Jupiter's. I don't know what it is MOSTLY made of but that's what its made of generally.

What gases are in the Atmosphere of Jupiter?

Jupiter's atmosphere is mainly Hydrogen (around 90%), Helium (around 10%), with small amounts (minor gases) of Methane (around 0.3%), Ammonia (0.026%), Hydrogen Deuteride (0.003%), Ethane (0.0006%) and Water vapour (0.0004%).


What is the density of the exosphere?

The exosphere is the upper layer of the atmosphere. The exosphere has a very low density, due to the lighter gases that are present in the exosphere. Hydrogen, with some helium, carbon dioxide, and atomic oxygen is found near the exobase. he exosphere is the last layer before outer space.


Which layer do light gases escape earths gravity?

Earth's lighter gases such as Hydrogen and Helium will rise to the top of the atmosphere. Since they are very light, they will easily be knocked awry by the solar wind, the stream of charged particles coming from the Sun.


What percent of Saturn is made of gasses?

(Just an approximation.) 75% hydrogen, 25% helium, and with traces of water vapor, methane, and other gases. The core however is made out of rock and ice, surrounded by a thick layer solid, metallic hydrogen and a gaseous outer layer

What is found in the Exopshere?

I think you mean the: Exosphere. The Exosphere is the uppermost layer of the atmosphere and contains mainly Hydrogen with a bit of Helium as well as Carbon Dioxide with some Atomic Oxygen near the Exobase.


Where can the gases be found that destroy the ozone layer?

The gases that destroy ozone are CFC's. They react with ozone to deplete it.


Which layer contains most of the gases found on earth?

The ozone layer contains the most molecules. They are present as ozone layer.
