Jupiter is known as a "gas giant". However, Shoemaker–Levy comet fragments collided with Jupiter's Southern Hemisphere between July 16 and July 22, 1994, at a speed of approximately 134,000 mph. The scars from the impacts persisted for many months.
Jupiter is a gas giant
Jupiter is one of the four gas giant planets, the outer planets.
Jupiter does not have a solid surface like rocky planets. It is a gas giant made mostly of hydrogen and helium. Therefore, it does not have a surface that can be described as rough or smooth like terrestrial planets.
It's a "terrestrial" planet, because it is rocky with an iron core, like planet Earth. "Terrestrial" means "Earthlike". Jovian planets are mainly made of gases and liquefied gases.
Jupiter is made of gas, that is why we refer to it as a 'Gas Giant'.
Mars is a terrestrial or rocky metallic planet. Jovian means Jupiter like, or gas giant.
