Here are a few reasons
1. Because the large mass of these planets causes a strong gravitational pull that would destroy any probe that landed there.... most would be destroyed long before impact.
2. There is no known "land" as we tend to think of it. It's just a gas that gets thicker and thicker is the common viewpoint.
However, I personally think there's probably some phase transition point that could be construed as a "surface".
Think of the earth. If it was only ocean, could anything truly "land"? You would go through layers of atmosphere, then hit liquid water. Do you consider that the surface (assume you're an alien) or do you keep going until you hit a rocky bottom?
3. Jupiter has the equivalent gravity which would add approximately 6000 lbs to your weight.
It also has an atmospheric pressure of approximately 22atm
A probe would have to survive deep sea exploration, just to be able to with stand that sort of pressure.
Then you have to account for the space travel, a probe strong enough would have much higher mass and would be harder to propel from Earth's gravitational pull.
4. Not just unlikely. Impossible. These planets have no surfaces that can be reached. They have cores, but they are so deep that nothing could ever get to them. All you can do on these gas giants is drop a probe by parachute or perhaps attached to a balloon which it deploys and then stays aloft at a certain altitude for awhile.
It would also be considered that a parachute or balloon would have a slim chance of surviving the pressure as well.

Probes landing on Jupiter or Saturn are unlikely events due to their immense size and harsh conditions. The powerful gravity and extreme pressures on these gas giants make it challenging to design a probe that can survive the descent and land successfully. Additionally, the thick atmospheres of Jupiter and Saturn present further obstacles to landing and communicating with a probe on the surface.

It is unlikely because both Jupiter and Saturn are made up different gasses and lack a "hard" surface.

How many Bodies were known in the Universe before the Telescope?
Before the telescope, people were aware of the Sun, Moon, and visible planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn). They were also familiar with comets and meteors as occasional celestial events. Overall, the understanding of celestial bodies was limited compared to what we know today with the aid of telescopes and advanced technology.
What would happen if Saturn crashed into Jupiter?
If Saturn were to crash into Jupiter, it is likely that both planets would be destroyed due to the high impact forces involved. The collision would result in a massive release of energy, potentially causing a significant disruption in our solar system. The debris from the collision could also pose a threat to other nearby celestial bodies.
When a comet hit Jupiter did it leave a mark?
Yes, when fragments of comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 hit Jupiter in 1994, they left visible scars in the planet's atmosphere that lasted for weeks. These impacts provided valuable insights into Jupiter's atmosphere and the dynamics of collision events in our solar system.
Does Jupiter effect earth weather?
Jupiter's influence on Earth's weather is minimal. While gravitational interactions between Jupiter and Earth can have slight effects over long periods, the biggest impact Jupiter has on Earth's weather is during rare events like alignments that could potentially influence tides. Overall, the Sun and Earth's own internal processes have a much greater impact on our weather patterns.
How do you think scientists figured out the speed of light?
The first scientist to figure out the speed of light was Ole Roemer, who observed the delays in movements of Jupiter's moons. In other words, it takes light some time to travel from Jupiter to here, and therefore to see events - or, more precisely, it takes MORE time when Jupiter is farther away, and that is what Roemer observed.
What are the release dates for Knots Landing - 1979 A Turn of Events 8-11?
Knots Landing - 1979 A Turn of Events 8-11 was released on: USA: 20 November 1986
What does equally unlikely mean in probability?
Two events are equally unlikely if the probability that they do not happen is the same for each event. And, since the probability of an event happening and not happening must add to 1, equally unlikely events are also equally likely,
What major events where happening in the world?
World War I, World War II, and the moon landing are major world events.
What are some current events about Jupiter?
spacecrafts such as juno from nasa went there

What major events in moon exploration happened in 1969?
July 1969 landing on the moon.
Are landing nets allowed in bass pro tournaments?
No. B.A.S.S. sanctioned events do not allow nets.
What were Neil Armstrong's life-changing events?
Landing on the moon would be a major life event.

What is the term for a work about unlikely events involving characters who not like ordinary people?
Romance is the term.

Who shot the apollo moon landing?
The Apollo moon landing was not shot by anyone, as the landing itself was conducted by NASA astronauts on the Apollo missions. The events were recorded by cameras on the lunar module and by cameras remotely operated from Earth.
