What are the giant planets mostly made of?
The giant planets in our solar system, such as Jupiter and Saturn, are mostly made of hydrogen and helium, with smaller amounts of other elements like methane, ammonia, and water. These planets have thick atmospheres and lack a solid surface.
Do the gas giants have thinner atmosphere than the terrestrial planets?
No. As the name gas giant implies, these planets are made largely of gas. They have extremely thick atmospheres.
What other planets has analogy similar to Jupiter?
All of the gas giant planets are similar: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. They differ mainly in size and the concentration of certain gases in their atmospheres.
What type of gases makes up the giant planets?
Hydrogen and helium mainly. The 'Outer Planets' are composed of a rocky, metallic core with a thick layer of gas surrounding. As such, they are less dense than the 'Inner Planets' also called the 'Terrestrial (earth-like) Planets' which are mainly rock, ice and metal with thin atmospheres of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and in the case of the Earth: oxygen

What are the giant planets mostly made of?

The atmosphere of the gas giant planets cannot escape into space because?
the gas giant planets have strong gravitational pulls that hold on to their thick atmospheres. Additionally, the high escape velocity prevents the gases from escaping into space. The cold temperatures of these planets also help in maintaining the integrity of their atmospheres.
How the sizes of the inner planets compare to the sizes of the gas giant planets?
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are smaller in size compared to the gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). The gas giants are much larger because they are primarily composed of gas and have thick atmospheres, while the inner planets are rocky and have thinner atmospheres. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system.
How does the composition of earths atmosphere differ from the composition of the atmospheres of the gas giant planets?
Earth's atmosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen and oxygen, with trace amounts of other gases like carbon dioxide and argon. In contrast, the atmospheres of gas giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with smaller amounts of methane and ammonia. Gas giant atmospheres have a much higher proportion of hydrogen compared to Earth's atmosphere.
Do the gas giants have thinner atmosphere than the terrestrial planets?
No. As the name gas giant implies, these planets are made largely of gas. They have extremely thick atmospheres.
How does the composition of earths atmosphere differ from the composition of the atmosphere s of the gas giant planets?
The Earth's atmosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen and oxygen, with trace amounts of other gases. In contrast, the atmospheres of gas giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn are mostly made up of hydrogen and helium, with smaller amounts of methane, ammonia, and water vapor. The composition of gas giant atmospheres can also vary depending on their depth and temperature.
What are the atmospheres of the outer planets like?
Outer planets like Jupiter and Saturn have thick atmospheres composed mostly of hydrogen and helium. Uranus and Neptune have atmospheres rich in frozen ices like water, ammonia, and methane. Strong winds, massive storms, and unique cloud formations characterize the atmospheres of these outer planets.
What other planets has analogy similar to Jupiter?
All of the gas giant planets are similar: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. They differ mainly in size and the concentration of certain gases in their atmospheres.
Do inner planets have thicker atmospheres than outer planets?
no
What are the 4 types of atmospheres?
The four main types of atmospheres are terrestrial (Earth-like), gaseous (gas giant planets like Jupiter), icy (contains frozen gases and compounds like Pluto), and thin (found on bodies like the Moon or Mars). Each has unique compositions and properties that contribute to their distinct characteristics.
Do outer planets have atmospheres?
Yes
Could you list the planets in order from the thickest to thinest atmospheres?
The terrestrial planets in order from the thickest to thinnest atmospheres Venus, Earth, Mars, and Mercury. Since the gas giants are almost entirely made of gas, it is difficult to determine where the atmospheres end.
