What is a large planet with a deep massive atmosphere called?
A "Gas Giant" planet.
What are especially important for exploring the deep atmosphere of a giant planet such as Jupiter?
probes =)
What element is Jupiter composed of?
Jupiter is a gas giant planet and the largest planet in our solar system. We can only see the cloud tops of Jupiter's atmosphere but the planet has a molten Iron/Nickel core and perhaps a rocky mantle. This is then covered by an ocean made out of metallic hydrogen before the thick atmosphere starts. The atmosphere is made up of82% hydrogen 18% helium. Although there are traces of every other element.
