The Interior of Jupiter

There is no surface on Jupiter. It is comprised largely of hydrogen. As one moves further into the planet's depths, the hydrogen gas becomes denser and denser, untiol ultimately it takes on metallic properties. This creates the gas giant's enormous magnetic field. Some speculate that at the very centre of Jupiter can be found a core of pure carbon, in the form of diamond!

Once you are past the cloud layers, you go through 1000 miles of clear hydrogen followed by 20,000 miles of clear volatile liquid hydrogen then plunge into a dense, opaque ocean of liquid metallic hydrogen - it will be pitch dark though deeper down it might glow; the core will probably solid and pressed completely flat and featureless. This video is pure fantasy.

First off. If it had no surface, there wouldnt be SOLID MASS SUCH AS DIAMOND. Second off, Metallic carbons ARE STRUCTURED SURFACES. Thirdly, your animation and video SUCKS. Fourthly, youre a moron. Congratulations.

@SIKDAREALEST They caused perturbation in the dense cloud layers...

I love the music, it's quite fitting. ; )

IF JUPITER HAS NO SURFACE ? WHY DID THE NINE ASTEROIDS THAT IT LEAVE SUCH HUGE SCARS? FOR SOLONG! ???

@andydarkstar water and other elements and compounds have different properties though due to the enormous pressure. Hydrogen for instance acts like a liquid metal, ver similar to T 1000 from the terminator, pretty neat stuff.

It's the light at end of tunnel? when we die all go to jupiter. lol

Hope Juno will tell us everything we need to know about Jupiter
