Is Uranus' atmosphere tick or thin?

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.
