Jupiter is made up of gases like helium, hydrogen, methane, ammonia and rocks.
So altogether, Jupiter is pretty much made up of hydrogen and helium.
As large as Jupiter is, it is not a rocky planet like Earth or Mars. Jupiter is a gas planet, which means that is not solid at all, but instead is a giant cloud made up mostly of hydrogen and helium. This raises the question that, if Jupiter is just gas, how can it be so large and what holds it together?
Most things in the universe are not solid, but are giant balls or clouds of gas, and Jupiter is one of them. The Sun is a ball of gas that also gives us heat and light. The same force that makes something drop to the ground on Earth hold the gas of Jupiter together. That force is called gravity.
It is thought that, billions of years ago, Jupiter started forming when several clouds of gas began to accumulate in the same place. More and more clouds joined the together until the planet began to take shape. As the original ball of gas became bigger, it attracted, or gathered in, other clouds of gas. The larger the ball got, the stronger the planet's gravity, or force that attracted the other clouds, became. This continued until Jupiter grew to its present size.
Jupiter is a gas planet, thought to be a failed star, so it doesn't really have a defined surface but the gas is mostly hydrogen with some helium.
Jupiter is made mostly of hydrogen and helium.
Mainly different types of hot gases. Jupiter has a solid surface under its gases.
Jupiter is formed from hydrogen and helium with only other minor components.
No. It is a gas giant. Terrestrial planets are planets that are mainly made of land.
Jupiter is a gas planet. Its atmosphere is mainly comprised of hydrogen.
No. The composition of the moons differs, in some cases considerably. For example, Earth's moon is mainly rock, but some of the moons of Jupiter and Saturn appear to be mainly ice.
no Jupiter is made of gas
probably ganymede, its the largest moon in the solar system (about the same size as mars) and it made up mainly of ice.
Jupiter is mainly made out of gases.
Yes, Jupiter is in fact made of gases, mainly hydrogen and helium.
Jupiter is mainly warm
Jupiter is mainly made of Hydrogen.
Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune
No. It is a gas giant. Terrestrial planets are planets that are mainly made of land.
The atmosphere of Jupiter is mainly made up of 89% hydrogen.
The planet Jupiter is predominantly made up of hydrogen and helium. The core of planet is thought to contain some rock and metallic hydrogen, but Jupiter is mainly made up of gas, hence its classification as a gas giant.
No at,own here they are gas giants mainly made of nitrogen and so do not have an atmoshphere
it is mainly hydrogen and helium.
Jupiter is a gas planet. Its atmosphere is mainly comprised of hydrogen.
Each of the four outer gas planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are made mainly from Hydrogen and Helium gas.
