Diagram showing the theoretical interior of the gas giant planet Jupiter. At the centre there is probably a rocky and icy core several times the mass of the Earth. This is surrounded by an extensive inner mantle,more than two-thirds of the planet's total radius,of liquid metallic hydrogen under great pressure. On top of this is the outer mantle,a layer of liquid molecular hydrogen and helium,and finally an extensive hydrogen-helium atmosphere about 1000 km thick | |
