The gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all mainly composed of gas the only solid being the core which is rock, and metallic, The gas giants are all 95% or greater made of hydrogen which is a very light gas, what keeps all these giant gas planets together is that Jupiter is 318 times as massive as Earth Saturn is about 95 and Uranus and Neptune are about 20 times as massive as Earth, Meaning that the gravity pull of the gas giants is much greater than Earths and is what keeps all these gases together.
Comment: Yes. Also the fact that the planets are so far from the Sun helps stop
gas molecules etc., reaching "escape velocity".
A "hot Jupiter" would be losing matter, we think.
What else can I help you with?
Why does the atmosphere of the earth float above the planets surface?
Because it just does.
Do planets get bigger as they get farther away from the sun?
No, planets do not get bigger as they move farther away from the sun. A planet's size is determined by its mass and composition, which remain relatively constant regardless of its distance from the sun. The distance from the sun influences a planet's temperature and orbital dynamics, but not its physical size.
Why do we float on the moon?
You don't float, otherwise the astronauts would have just floated away instead of walking around. Gravity is less, so you can jump farther on the moon than on Earth, but you are still held down on the ground.
What do the outer planets have that the inner planets do not have?
outer planets are gas giants whille inner planets are just rocky planets. that includes that outer planets have significant amount of mass than the inner planets
Why do other planets in our solar system appear to be emmiting light as if they are stars when viewed from Earth?
They reflect sunlight - just like the moon. They are just too far away to see the detail (light and dark spots) with the naked eye so it all runs together. If you look through a telescope, you can tell the difference right away.
Why does the atmosphere of the earth float above the planets surface?
Because it just does.
Can you drink beer in space?
Ultimately, no. If you try, the beer will just float away
What if the sun did'nt have gravity?
then all of the planets will just fly away in space they will just keep on flying.
What is is the main difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes doesnt have a membrane its organelles pretty much just float around unlike eukaryotes it contains a membrane where the organelles are kept proteinsynthesis in prokaryotes- it doesnt not contain "noncoding" meaning it doesnt have introns
Does the other planets go around the sun?
Our nine planets orbit around the Sun. Other planets that are light-years away orbit around their suns (A sun is just a large star with planets). Hope this helped!
How does the curiosity not float away while on Mars?
Just like Earth's gravity holds you to Earth, and doesn't let you float away, Mars, too, has some gravity (less than Earth), which won't simply let objects float away into space.
Why do planets stay up in the sky?
There is no gravity in space so they just sort of float and every planet orbits around the sun and also helps them stay in place
What causes the planets to orbit the sun why don't they just flow away?
They are held in place by the gravitational force of the sun.
Who is think noodles character creator from poptropica?
He doesnt have one. He just got it with credits right away. And if he did, he is anonymous.
Why do you float in a vacuum Were is gravity?
Whether or not you float has nothing to do with vacuum. You float because you are too far away from the earth (or other massive objects) for their gravity to have any noticeable effect on you. It just so happens that this occurs in space where natural vacuum may be found.
Do planets get bigger as they get farther away from the sun?
No, planets do not get bigger as they move farther away from the sun. A planet's size is determined by its mass and composition, which remain relatively constant regardless of its distance from the sun. The distance from the sun influences a planet's temperature and orbital dynamics, but not its physical size.
What does tanks were going to go out on so many airs they'd just up and float away?
It means that they thought they do so much they just went over board
