Does Jupiter have a hot interior?

Answer 1

Most of Jupiter's internal heat is due to its contraction, when its contracts it changes potential energy into kinetic energy and through this energy change a large amount of friction heat is created.

Answer 2

Jupiter's core is "icy" compared to the rest of the planet, but the layer above is warm in comparison, so techinacally, yes, Jupiter does have an internal heat source. But the atmosphere is pretty warm, too.

Answer:

Jupiter has an internal heat source as it emits 1.6 times a much energy as falls on it from the Sun.The main theory on the source of this heat that much of it is residual heat left over from the original collapse of material to form the planet. Alternately, some may come from slow contraction of iliquids at the core.

Answer 3

by contracting, changing gravitational potential energy into thermal energy

Answer 4

Jupiter's central core is much hotter than earth because the mass compresses more the more mass compress and the more mass a planet has, the hotter it is.

Answer 5

Its radiation. As a Example that heat we get from the sun is actually radiation that warms the planet. Jupiter gives off massive amounts.

Answer 6

Becuas it is so big

Answer 7

Yes
