\section{Composition of Jupiter}
Jupiter is largest planet in our solar system, it has got four planet size moons, when Galileo discovered Jupiter's four large moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, now known as the Galilean moons.Jupiter resembles a star in composition. In fact, if it had been about eighty times more massive, it would have become a star rather than a planet. Jupiter has got a count of total moon of 49.
Jupiter unlike wise the Earth does not have a solid surface. In Jupiter, clouds made of ice gases move at high speeds in the atmosphere.
The composition of Jupiter's atmosphere remains a mystery while two minor element, methane and ammonia,were identified long time ago. the study is based on a structural model for the Jovian at atmosphere that appears to be consistent with available observation. for a chemical composition,we have started with the hypothesis that the elements are present in solar abundances. …show more content…
The outer mantle is liquid hydrogen; the inner mantle is liquid metallic hydrogen. The layers of extraordinarily-compressed hydrogen are in a state so extreme that it has never been produced on Earth. The pressure is so great that the hydrogen molecules inside Jupiter conduct heat and electricity very well, in a metal-like fashion (they do not do this under Earth-like condition). Inside Jupiter, electrons from hydrogen molecules move freely from molecule to molecule (like the electrons of a metal); this is what allows the electrical and heat
