Inside the gas giants of our solar system hydrogen and helium and other gases are liquids and solids not because of cold temperatures but because of the monumental pressure within the planet.

Is Jupiter mostly liquid?

Largely. Jupiter's outer portion is gas, but much of the interior is a supercritical fluid, a state of matter that is neither liquid nor gas, but has some characteristics of both. Deeper into the interior there is probably yet another state of matter; liquid metallic hydrogen.


What gases are the gas giant planets made mostly of?

Jupiter, the first gas giant from the sun. It's clouds are made out of simple gases like hydrogen,helium,carbon dioxide,water and methane,along with clouds of ammonia ice and ammonium hydrosulphide. There are winds up to 600km per hour,travelling in opposite directions which create the distinct bands. Saturn is composed entirely of hydrogen. The top layer is made up of ammonia crystals and below are ammonium hydrosulphide or water. Beneath the layer of cloud,the pressure is so intense that gas is compressed into a liquid. Uranus's atmoshere is mostly hydrogen and helium, with small quantities of methane. This allows the planet to be able to absorb the Sun's rays, giving the planets distinct blue colour. Neptune has no solid surface to land on. It may have a tiny core of rock.Neptune's atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium with traces of methane.


What is Jupiter's crust mad out of?

Jupiter doesn't have a crust, it is made of gas. The core is theorized to be an inner layer of liquid metallic hydrogen surrounded by an outer shell of regular liquid hydrogen.


Is water the lightest liquid on earth?

No, water is not the lightest liquid on Earth. Liquid hydrogen and liquid helium are lighter than water because they have lower densities.


What is the word equation for liquid helium?

There is no word equation, except that helium will exist as liquid phase in liquid helium

What is the primary composition of the gas giant atmospheres?

The primary composition of gas giant atmospheres is typically hydrogen and helium, with smaller amounts of methane, ammonia, and water vapor. These planets have thick layers of gas that gradually transition into a liquid or ice layer as you move towards the core.

What planet is composed of hydrogen and helium with a layer of frozen water and liquid nitrogen on the surface?

The planet you are referring to is Uranus, the seventh planet from the Sun. It is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, with a layer of frozen water, ammonia, and methane, along with a liquid nitrogen layer on its surface.


Which planets is made up of gas?

Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. Uranus and Neptune are ice giants that have a smaller gas component but are primarily composed of water, ammonia, and methane.


What kind of liquid does Saturn have?

Saturn is made out of hydrogen (75%) and helium (25%).


What liquid has lowest density?

kerosene


If liquid nitrogen freezes everything why is itself a liquid?

liquid nitrogen will not freeze everything. Hydrogen and helium will remain a gas when exposed to liquid nitrogen.
