Jupiter is a very massive planet composed mostly of hydrogen. It is massive enough that below a certain depth the pressure from the overlying layers is enough to convert the hydrogen into its liquid metallic state.

What matter do scientists think formed Jupiter?
The core of Jupiter probably contains rock and metallic hydrogen. The surface of Jupiter is made of water, methane, and ammonia.
Is Jupiter all Gas?
Saturn's upper atmosphere is made from Hydrogen gas. Below that is liquid and metallic helium. It is believed that Saturn has a rocky core. There are other trace elements. There are icy areas that are believed to be composed of methane.
What is Jupiter's interior made of?
Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System. Its interior is comprised primarily of hydrogen, which can become liquid if the pressure increases.
Is Jupiter a Gas giant?
Good question. Jupiter is primarily made of elements that we consider gasses, like Hydrogen and Helium. However, the pressures deep within Jupiter's core are likely to have compressed it into something we cannot duplicate on Earth; liquid metallic hydrogen. We're not certain of this, of course, because we can only see the outer layers.
What is Jupiters surface made up of?
The Jovian Planets do not have an "surface" as we know it. Since they are composed primarily of hydrogen, ammonia, and methance, these gases gradually compress/condense to a suspended soupy mixture thousands of kilometres below the cloud tops. As one goes deeper, this "soupy" mixture gradually becomes a vast ocean of liquid hydrogen made possible under massive pressure. One can still go deeper and the liquid hydrogen starts to behave like a metal under the fantastic pressure of 10's of thousands of kilometres of atmosphere. That's why Jupiter, especially, as a strong magnetic field. This vast ball of rapidly spinning liquid metallic hydrogen acts like a giant dynamo! It is presumed that each the Jovian Planets each have a rocky core roughly the size of earth.
What is Jupiter's crust mad out of?
Jupiter doesn't have a crust, it is made of gas. The core is theorized to be an inner layer of liquid metallic hydrogen surrounded by an outer shell of regular liquid hydrogen.
Is Jupiter made of liquid methane?
No. Hydrogen is the main constituent of Jupiter and a lot of it is liquid hydrogen.
What are the layers of Jupiter made out of?
The crust is made out of gaseous hydrogen. then the layer underneath is liquid hydrogen, after is metallic hydrogen. the core is made out of rock. the light stripes on the surface are called zones and the dark ones are belts
What does Jupiter have on?
Jupiter's core is made up of rock, metal, and hydrogen compounds.Jupiter's outer core is made up of metallic hydrogen.Jupiter's mantle is made up of liquid hydrogen and helium.Jupiter's cloud tops are made up of hydrogen and helium.Jupiter's atmosphere is made up of 89.8% hydrogen and 10.2% helium with a little bit of methane and ammonia.
What matter do scientists think formed Jupiter?
The core of Jupiter probably contains rock and metallic hydrogen. The surface of Jupiter is made of water, methane, and ammonia.
Is Jupiter made up of gas or rock?
The planet Jupiter is predominantly made up of hydrogen and helium. The core of planet is thought to contain some rock and metallic hydrogen, but Jupiter is mainly made up of gas, hence its classification as a gas giant.
What is Jupiter's deep interior believed to be?
Jupiter's core is thought to be made up of highly pressurized liquid hydrogen and helium.
Is Jupiter all Gas?
Saturn's upper atmosphere is made from Hydrogen gas. Below that is liquid and metallic helium. It is believed that Saturn has a rocky core. There are other trace elements. There are icy areas that are believed to be composed of methane.
What is Saturn made out of mostly?
Source: wikipedia. Saturn's interior is probably composed of a core of iron, nickel and rock (silicon and oxygen compounds), surrounded by a deep layer of metallic hydrogen, an intermediate layer of liquid hydrogen and liquid helium and an outer gaseous layer.[17] Electrical current within the metallic hydrogen layer is thought to give rise to Saturn's planetary magnetic field, which is slightly weaker than Earth's and around one-twentieth the strength of Jupiter's. I don't know what it is MOSTLY made of but that's what its made of generally.

What is the largest planet in the solar system which is made up mainly of hydrogen gas?
This must be Jupiter. (However, a lot of the hydrogen is in fact in the form of liquid hydrogen.)
