Which planet has a large solid core?

Scientists suspect that of the well known planets that Jupiter has a solid core that is large in size. It has been discovered that Jupiter contains a core that includes rock and hydrogen metals, but scientists are unsure if deep within the planet contains a true solid core. Of all the nine planets, Jupiter's core contains the most "solid" case for a true solid core.


Why does a 150pound man weigh 380 on Jupiter?

Because the gravity would be heavier on Jupiter, even though the planet is mostly a gas giant with a small iron core. The iron core is still larger than Earth I believe. The answer is, because of the increased gravity due to the increased size of the planet. Care to venture a guess as to how much you'd weigh on the sun?


Jupiters composition of the core or surface?

Jupiter has no surface it is a gas planet, if you wanted to land a plane on Jupiter it would be like trying to land a plane on a cloud.In addition:Jupiter has a liquid core.that cosists of liquid metallic hydrogen


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.


How long does it take for a massive star's core to become iron from silicon?

The process of core collapse to form iron from silicon in a massive star can occur in a matter of days to weeks. This phase, known as core-collapse supernova, is an explosive event where the iron core rapidly collapses and rebounds, leading to the synthesis of heavier elements.

Does Jupiter have core?

Hypothetically, yes. I probably has a small silicate rock and ice core. This is likely because all of Jupiter's moons have a similar core.


Is Jupiter solid or gaseous?

Jupiter is considered a gas planet; however, because Jupiter has an extremely large and strong magnetic field, it is assume that its innermost core is made of solid rock and metals such as iron, similar to Earth.
