Is Jupiter the largest densest and most massive planet?
No. Jupiter is the most massive but it is not the densest. Jupiter is made mostly of hydrogen and helium, which are low-density materials. Earth is the densest planet in the solar system.
What is atmosphere Jupiter?
Carbon dioxide, Heilium, Nitrogen, Methane. Jupiter's atmosphere is mainly Hydrogen (around 90%), Helium (around 10%), with small amounts (minor gases) of Methane (around 0.3%), Ammonia (0.026%), Hydrogen Deuteride (0.003%), Ethane (0.0006%) and Water vapour (0.0004%).
Compared to earth Jupiter?
Unlike Earth, which is composed of a crust and mantle of silicate rock and a core of iron, Jupiter is made mostly of hydrogen and helium with a rock and metal core. Jupiter is 11 times the diameter of Earth and 318 times the mass. It rotates in a period of just under 10 hours.
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 Jupiter mainly made of?
Jupiter is made up of gases like helium, hydrogen, methane, ammonia and rocks.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 just made up of the gases hydrogen and helium.Jupiter's atmosphere is made up of 89.8% hydrogen and 10.2% helium with traces of methane and ammonia.So altogether, Jupiter is pretty much made up of hydrogen and helium.
How is Jupiter's atmosphere different than Earth's atmosphere?
Jupiter's atmosphere is bigger than the Earth's and is mainly hydrogen plus quite a bit of helium.
What is Jupiter's planet?
Jupiter is mostly made of molecular hydrogen and helium its structure is hard and bold but Jupiter has twice of powerful storms than earth.....
What planet is Jupiter on?

Is Venus or Jupiter least like Earth?
Jupiter is the least like Earth. Jupiter has a lots more Gravity than Earth and is much bigger, being made mostly of the gases hydrogen and helium. Venus is often referred to as the sister of the earth. It is very alike in size, where it is in the Solar System and what has been found on Venus and the Earth.
What does the sun have that earth has?
Hydrogen, Helium

Is Jupiter possible and practical for earth to obtain energy from the gases found in these planets?
no, it cant... because Jupiter have an atmosphere of hydrogen, helium, methane, ammonia, carbon monoxide, ethane, acytelene, phosphine,and water vapor
Give 2 reasons why is there no life on Jupiter?
it is unlikely there is any earth like life on Jupiter because Jupiter's upper atmosphere is composed of about 88-92% hydrogen and 8-12% helium. There is only a small amount of water in the atmosphere. Also Jupiter does not have a solid surface.
Which planet has more of hydrogen and helium?
Jupiter has more hydrogen and helium gas because it has more gravitational pull than any other planet so it pulls almost every gas with a greater efficiency and does not allow to escape from its atmosphere,as in the case of earth gases like (hydrogen) tends to escape easily.
