The planet Jupiter has no specific surface. It is a gas giant with thin clouds on the exterior and progressively denser and hotter gas farther in, where the pressure creates liquid and then solid metallic hydrogen.

The hottest point within Jupiter is near the boundary between the amosphere and the smaller rocky core, and is estimated as high as 36000°C. The pressure there is millions of times the pressure at sea level on Earth.

The coldest point is in the outer clouds, just below the thermosphere, where the atmospheric pressure is about 1/10 that at sea level on Earth. The temperature there is as low as 112 K (-161°C).

The highest temperature is believed to be at the boundary of the metallic hydrogen lower atmosphere with the rocky core, which could be as high as 36000°C.

The lowest temperature is near the cloud tops, with a temperature at the 0.1 bar level being 112 K (- 161°C).
