What else can I help you with?
Are the inner planets made out of?
Inner planets are made mostly of rock, although the Earth also has quite a substantial metallic core, of nickel and iron.
What are the outer planets' cores made up of?
Terrestrial planets have a rock composition (and are also smaller), giant planets are made up from mostly hydrogen, helium and icy and rocky materials. However, the two giants, Jupiter and Saturn, have a very small inner core of icy and rocky materials and a larger outer core of hydrogen and helium. The two subgaints, Neptune and Uranus, have a larger inner core of icy and rocky material and a smaller outer layer of hydrogen, helium and icy materials.
What is Jupiter's structure like?
Jupiter is a gas giant, consisting mostly of hydrogen and helium. Its outer layers are composed of gas, while its interior likely consists of a small rocky core surrounded by a thick layer of metallic hydrogen. The intense pressure and temperature near the core create Jupiter's powerful magnetic field.
Light element found in most of the outer planets?
Hydrogen is the most abundant light element found in the outer planets of our solar system, including Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. It can exist in different forms, such as molecular hydrogen and metallic hydrogen, under the extreme pressure and temperature conditions found in these giant planets.
Which planet likely has flowing liquid metallic hydrogen as the source of its magnetic field?
Jupiter is the planet that likely has flowing liquid metallic hydrogen in its interior, creating a magnetic field that is the strongest in the solar system. This metallic hydrogen is thought to exist under tremendous pressure in Jupiter's core, generated by the planet's immense mass.
Does Jupiter have a metallic hydrogen layer around its core?
Yes
Do all planets have a molten core that has liquid metal?
Only the Earth is known to have a core that includes liquid metal.However, Jupiter and Saturn do have regions composed of metallic liquid hydrogen. Also, there is some evidence that Mercury and Venus may have liquid metal in their cores. Mars may have some liquid metallic sulfide in its core.
Is mercury made up of hydrogen?
No. Mercury is made of rock with a metallic core.
Which jovian planets contain metallic hydrogen?
It is believed that both Jupiter and Saturn contain metallic hydrogen in their interiors due to the extreme pressure and temperature conditions. Uranus and Neptune are not thought to have metallic hydrogen in their interiors.
What is the internal layering of Jupiter from the center outward?
Jupiter has a core made of rock and metal at its center, surrounded by a layer of metallic hydrogen. Above this is a layer of liquid metallic hydrogen, followed by a layer of molecular hydrogen. The outermost layer consists of clouds of ammonia and water vapor.
Which planet has rocky core surrounded by metallic hydrogen under extreme pressures?
Saturn
What produces liquid metallic hydrogen?
Liquid metallic hydrogen is theorized to be produced under extremely high pressure conditions, such as found in the cores of gas giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn. The pressure causes hydrogen gas to undergo a phase transition into a metallic state, where the electrons are delocalized and the material exhibits properties of a metal.
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.
Does Jupiter have a rock or solid core?
Yes, Jupiter is believed to have a dense core of rock and metal about the size of Earth. This core is thought to be surrounded by a thick layer of metallic hydrogen, followed by a gaseous outer layer.
A special fact about planet Jupiter?
It's core has a surrounding layer of liquid metallic hydrogen
Saturn planet air core?
Saturn is a gas giant composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, with no solid surface. It is believed to have a small rocky core at the center, surrounded by metallic hydrogen and a layer of molecular hydrogen.
Does earth have liquid metallic hydrogen?
No. Liquid metallic hydrogen only forms when hydrogen is subjected to extreme pressure. Hydrogen is present in trace amounts in Earth's atmosphere in gas form, under low pressure. The core is composed primarily of iron. Liquid metallic hydrogen likely exists in the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn.
