Jupiter. Cutaway illustration showing the interior structure of the planet Jupiter. By far the largest planet in the Solar System,Jupiter has a mass two and a half times that of all the other planets put together. A rocky core about the size of Earth lies at its centre,where the temperature is 20,000-30,000 degrees C. Around the core is a vast layer of liquid hydrogen (blue),which accounts for most of the planet's mass. The inner part of the hydrogen layer (dark blue) is under such high pressure that it acts like molten metal. Uppermost is a thin atmosphere of hydrogen (pale blue),water and ice (white),ammonium hydrosulphide (brown) and ammonia crystals (red) | |
