What is the landmass of Jupiter?

An excellent question! However, we don't know whether Jupiter even HAS a "surface" as we understand the term. The prevalent theories are that the gasses of Jupiter are more and more compressed until they turn into a metallic solid form of hydrogen, which is only possible at unimaginably high pressures.

So we can't say what the landmass of Jupiter would be, or if this is even a reasonable concept when applied to Jupiter.

Someday, either robotic probes or astronauts or both will explore Jupiter's atmosphere, but it's unlikely that we will ever be able to go too far beneath the cloud tops. Science Fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke proposed that the proper means to explore Jupiter would be by balloon; a "hot hydrogen" balloon.

What is the percentage of land in Jupiter?

Jupiter is a gas giant and does not have a solid surface like Earth, so it does not have a percentage of land. It is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium gases, with no solid landmass.


Can TREES make Jupiter a sustainable planet?

Firstly, Trees need landmass into which to spread their roots for support and it is doubtful that Jupiter has landmass. (If it is found to have landmass, it would be deep under the gas layers with far too much pressure to support any trees we have on Earth.) Secondly, Trees need water. If there is any water on Jupiter, it is in the core. Thirdly, Trees need sunlight and Jupiter's atmosphere would create conditions that were sufficiently occluded to prevent photosynthesis. (This avoids mentioning that the requisite oxygen and carbon dioxide are also missing from Jupiter's atmosphere in the necessary percentages.) Assuming, either by magic or significantly advanced technology, trees can survive on Jupiter, there are many other factors that would be necessary to make Jupiter inhabitable such as proper heating, prevalence of mid-level elements (such as carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, silicon, phosphorus et al., a clearer atmosphere, less pressure in habitable areas, and storm control (the Big Red Spot is a tornado larger than 3x the Planet Earth).
