Neptune (and the other gas giants) have layers, but not in the way you might imagine. The planet is thought to have a three-layer structure. It consists of an inner rocky core, with a middle ice-like layer of fluid which is probably liquid diamond. Carbon condenses from the abundant methane on Neptune and because of the immense pressure, density, and temperature that exists deep within the gas giant, the carbon is forced into a different phase much like ice and water.

Water, methane, ammonium and an outer hydrogen-helium layer are part of the "atmosphere" of Neptune. The boundary between the liquid diamond and the slushy "gases" of the atmosphere is a gradual one, with the hydrogen-helium at the top.

Which planet is thought to have an internal structure containing both liquid and gaseous layers?

Jupiter is thought to have an internal structure containing both liquid metallic hydrogen and a small solid core surrounded by gaseous layers.


Is Jupiter solid or gas?

No, Jupiter is a gas giant planet and may have no solid surface at all.


Why does Jupiter have several distinct cloud layers?

Jupiter's different cloud layers are a result of variations in temperature, pressure, and composition in its atmosphere. These layers form due to convection processes and interactions between different chemical compounds, such as ammonia, water, and methane. The distinct colors of the clouds are caused by the presence of different chemical compounds absorbing and reflecting sunlight at different altitudes.


What does the inside of Jupiter look like?

The inside of Jupiter can be organized by layers. The outermost layer is thick clouds of hydrogen and helium, going many miles deep. There is then an ocean of hydrogen and helium covering the inner planet. Finally, there is the rocky core with a solid metal (possibly iron or nickel) sphere in the very center. The metal center is surrounded by magma in between itself and the rocky outside (crust).Remember: Jupiter is a gas giant. The cloud and ocean layers cover about 7/8 of the planet. The rocky core is only 7.5 times the size of the entire Earth, seeing to it that Jupiter's gravity is 2.5 times as much as Earth's.
