Does Jupiter have a solid core or is it made up entirely of gases?

You probably wouldn't be able to land on Jupiter due to excessive gravity and heat, etc. Even if you could bypass those factors, the answer would still be no because Jupiter is not solid. It's possible Jupiter has a solid core, or liquid some where in-between the surface and the center, but we will most likely never land on Jupiter.

∙ 14y agoJupiter is believed to have a very small rocky core at its center, extending to about t 10,000 km from the center, or about 15% of its equatorial cloud top radius. Beyond this is a thick layer of metallic hydrogen and helium that contains most of the mass of Jupiter. The boundary between the metallic state and the liquid/gas phase is believed to be approximately 54,000 km from the center. The last layer that extends as much as 17,000 km, is the liquid/gas layer, It is at the opt of this layer that the visible clouds are seen, at a distance of about 71,400 km at the equator from the center. Jupiter is quite oblate, i.e.,. its polar radius is smaller than the equatorial radius by approximately 5,000 km, primarily because of centripetal acceleration due to its rotation rate (once every 9h 55min).

How many different gases does Jupiter have?
Jupiter is made of two main gases. Specifically, Jupiter's environment contains hydrogen and helium. The planet is entirely made of gasses with a solid core.
Is Jupiter made out of gasses or rock?
gasses Jupiter is a gas giant. So far we have determined that Jupiter is all gases. however, there are speculations that there could be a small solid core of frozen gases at teh center of the planet.
Is Jupiter spherical?
Jupiter is spherical but its core is the only substance that is a solid
Which other plants can fit inside Jupiter?
I can tell you that there is NO life on that planet named Jupiter. Jupiter is a gaseous planet with terrible winds and terrible noxious gases and unsupportable pressures, plus it has no solid surface. Please note: It is postulated that Jupiter does have a solid core, but pressure & gravity are high enough that it is considered degenerate matter.
How can you have gravity on Jupiter without a solid core?
you can because Jupiter is fiar away from the sunlight.

What percent of Jupiter is solid material?
Jupiter has a possibility to have a solid (rocky, icy) core
Is Jupiter spherical?
Jupiter is spherical but its core is the only substance that is a solid
What are some differences between Jupiter and Mars?
Mars is smaller than Jupiter. Mars is solid, but Jupiter is mainly gases and liquid hydrogen with perhaps a solid core. Jupiter has an internal heat source and a strong magnetic field. Mars has 2 tiny moons. Jupiter has 4 large moons plus about another 60 moons. They are some of the main differences.
Is the inner core mostly a liquid or solid?
The inner core is currently thought to be entirely solid.

Is Saturn's surface like Jupiter's?
Like Jupiter, Saturn does not have a solid surface. Both planet's have a small core surrounded by layers of compressed gases, with the majority of the gas being hydrogen. Saturn is a great deal cooler than Jupiter.
How can you have gravity on Jupiter without a solid core?
you can because Jupiter is fiar away from the sunlight.
What is the below atmosphere of Jupiter?
Jupiter is believed to be almost entirely atmosphere. It is hypothesized that Jupiter has a small core of ice, rock, and metals. Between the upper atmosphere of clouds and the core there are layers of compressed hydrogen gas and liquid metallic hydrogen.
Is Jupiter a solid or gas?
Jupiter is a big Gas planet Hope this heps! ;)
Jupiter does not have?
stuff im telling you the right answer just not the exact :]:]
