There is thought to be a molecular hydrogen layer, and a liquid metallic hydrogen layer. At high pressures, hydrogen forms a liquid metal which is a very good electrical conductor. We think this because combined with rapid rotation, a dynamo is formed, producing Jupiter's intense magnetic field. There is also thought to be a rocky core that was formed by planetesimals, which basically supplied the initial gravity to hold the gases and create a gigantic gaseous planet.

What forms of water are on Jupiter and Jupiters moons?
On Jupiter, water exists in the form of water vapor in its atmosphere. Some of Jupiter's moons, like Europa and Ganymede, are thought to have subsurface oceans containing liquid water beneath their icy crusts. Other moons like Callisto and Io also have ice deposits on their surfaces.
What will an alien look like on Jupiter and why it will look like that?
Science fiction author Arthur C. Clarke wrote the story "A Meeting With Medeusa" in which a human explorer parachuted into Jupiter's cloud tops and inflated a hot air balloon - excuse me, a hot-HYDROGEN balloon - in order to observe the cloud layers of Jupiter's atmosphere. In the story, Jupiter was teeming with life, all suspended within the cloud tops. The story is worth reading.
What is solid material beneath the atmosphere called?
Jupiter is covered by an ocean of hydrogen with a sludge-like consistency
Jupiter's unique feratures are?
That it is made up of all gasses. It is like a huge gas cloud/planet.
Why is Jupiter named after the king of god?
Jupiter is named after the KING of the gods because Jupiter is the biggest planet is the solar system making it a good name. like the walrus that has the biggest tusks is the king. so the people who named Jupiter Jupiter probably thought of that, or something like that.
What does a wall cloud look like?
A wall cloud is a large, lowering cloud formation that extends beneath the base of a thunderstorm. It often has a wall-like appearance and can be rotating. Wall clouds are typically dark and turbulent, and can sometimes be a precursor to tornado formation.
Where did Jupiter come from?
Jupiter is thought to have formed around 4.5 billion years ago from the gas and dust present in the early solar system. It likely began as a solid core that quickly accumulated gas from the surrounding disk of material, eventually growing into the massive gas giant we see today.
What is the surface temperature in Jupiter?
The average surface temperature of Jupiter is approximately -145 degrees Celsius (-234 degrees Fahrenheit). However, Jupiter does not have a solid surface like Earth, so this temperature refers to the cloud tops in its atmosphere.
How does the planet Jupiter looks like?
Jupiter is a gas giant with a thick atmosphere made mostly of hydrogen and helium. It has distinct cloud bands and a large red spot known as a persistent storm. Jupiter also has more than 75 moons orbiting around it.
What is the composition of the planet Jupiter?
Jupiter is composed of mostly liquid metallic Hydrogen, some Helium, and molecular Hydrogen. There are thought to be a mixture of elements in the core.
What has been discovered on Jupiter?
. A Jupiter-like planet has been discovered orbiting one of the smallest stars known, suggesting that planets could be more common than previously thought.
What does the sky look like on Jupiter?
The sky on Jupiter appears a deep, dark blue color due to the presence of ammonia in the atmosphere. Jupiter's dense cloud cover creates colorful bands and swirling storms, like the famous Great Red Spot. Additionally, Jupiter experiences auroras near its poles caused by charged particles interacting with its magnetic field.
