Is there an atmosphere on Jupiter?

Answer 1

Jupiter's atmosphere is thick and has a lot of gases.

The planet Jupiter has a very gaseous atmosphere, comprised mainly of helium and hydrogen. Jupiter actually has no solid land beneath its gassy layers, just thicker clouds of gas within itself.
Jupiters Atmosphere is not as good as the other planets
Hydrogen and helium

The atmosphere of Jupiter is made up of hydrogen, helium, ammonia, methane, and water vapor.

The atmosphere appears as alternating bands of light regions , called zones , and the dark regions called belts, that run parrellel to the equator. It's hard to explain what the atmosphere of Jupiter is, since the planet is 90% hydrogen and 10% helium. Here on Earth, we'd consider those gasses all atmosphere. But under its strong gravity, Jupiter pulls together this atmosphere into separate layers with very interesting properties. Unlike Earth, Jupiter has no clear boundary between its atmosphere and the rest of the planet. As you travel down through the planet, the density and temperature of hydrogen and helium change, and scientists have defined different layers based on those changes. The atmospheric layers on Jupiter are the troposphere, stratosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. As Jupiter lacks a solid surface, scientists define the bottom of its atmosphere at the point where the pressure is 1 bar; the atmosphere is above this point. As with Earth, the temperature of Jupiters atmosphere decreases with height until it reaches a minimum. This is the tropopause, and defines the boundary between the troposphere and the stratosphere - it's about 50 km above the "surface" of Jupiter. The stratosphere rises to an altitude of 320 km, and the pressure continues to decrease, while temperatures increase. This altitude marks the boundary between the stratosphere and the thermosphere. The temperature of the thermosphere rises up to 1000 K at an altitude of 1000 km. All of the clouds and storms that we can see are located at the bottom of Jupiter's troposphere, and they're formed from ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and water. The top cloud layer contains ammonia ice. Below this are clouds made of ammonium hydrosulfide. Water clouds form down at the densest layer of clouds.

Answer 2

Jupiters' atmosphere is composed of about 90% hydrogen and 10% helium. There are only small traces of methane, ammonia, water and rock dust (0.07%). Those traces give the planet its grand colors.

Answer 3

The composition of Jupiter's atmosphere is similar to that of the Sun, except that no atomic fusion is occurring anywhere within the planet. The atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium.

Deep in the atmosphere, the pressure and temperature increase, compressing the hydrogen gas into a liquid.

At depths about a third of the way down, the hydrogen becomes metallic and electrically conducting. In this metallic layer, Jupiter's powerful magnetic field is generated by electrical currents driven by Jupiter's fast rotation.

At the center, the immense pressure may support a solid core of ice-rock about the size of Earth

Answer 4

The type of atmosphere found in Jupiter is mostly made up of hydrogen. Jupiter does not any solid surface and this is why it is known as a gaseous planet.

Answer 5

Yes. Jupiter is essentially all atmosphere. It's atmosphere mostly made of Hydrogen and helium

Answer 6

Jupiter's atmosphere is made up of 90 percent hydrogen and 10 percent helium. It does not have a solid surface, making it one of the gas giants.

Answer 7

jupiters atmosphere is made up of hydrogen, helium, amonia, and many other gases.

Answer 8

Jupiter's atmosphere is one the the biggest atmosphere in our solar system, its made of helium and hydrogen
