Gas giants Giant planet
saturn s north polar vortex
gas giants consist of hydrogen , helium. solar system s gas giants, jupiter , saturn, have heavier elements making between 3 , 13 percent of mass. gas giants thought consist of outer layer of molecular hydrogen, surrounding layer of liquid metallic hydrogen, probable molten core rocky composition.
jupiter , saturn s outermost portion of hydrogen atmosphere has many layers of visible clouds composed of water , ammonia. layer of metallic hydrogen makes bulk of each planet, , referred metallic because high pressure turns hydrogen electrical conductor. core thought consist of heavier elements @ such high temperatures (20,000 k) , pressures properties poorly understood.
