1. Jupiter’s Interior:

2. The Giant planets do not have the same layered structure that the terrestrial planets do. Their evolution was quite different than that of the terrestrial planets, and they have less solid material.
Jupiter's interior composition is primarily that of simple molecules such as hydrogen and helium, which are liquids under the high pressure environments found in the interiors of the outer planets, and not solids.

3. Motions in the interior of Jupiter contribute in a very special way to the development of the powerful and extensive magnetosphere of Jupiter. Heat generated within Jupiter contributes to the unusual motions of the atmosphere

4. Jupiter's interior composition is primarily that of simple molecules such as hydrogen and helium, which are liquids under the high pressure environments found in the interiors of the outer planets, and not solids.

5. The composition of Jupiter's interior is mostly the simple molecules hydrogen, in the form of liquid.
Under conditions of extreme pressure such as those found within the giant planets, the element Hydrogen, which is normally a gas, becomes a liquid, just as Nitrogen does if the temperature is just right.

6. Under the cloud layers, when the pressure of the interior becomes high enough, the hydrogen of which Jupiter is made transforms to liquid hydrogen, which gradually transforms further to liquid metallic hydrogen.
Since the environment within a giant planet, of thousands of degrees in temperature, and extreme pressures, cannot be duplicated at earth at all, we may never be able to see liquid metallic hydrogen. But it may look very much like Mercury

7. The core of Jupiter is made out of heavier, rocky and metal elements such as silicates and iron.

8. Liquid Metallic Hydrogen at 20,000 km below clouds (Pressure = 3 Million Atmospheres) - generates powerful magnetic field
Rock and Metal Core surrounded by "liquid ices" - 4% of mass (13 Earths); 20,000 km diameter.

9. The interior Emits twice as much energy as it receives from the Sun
---> internal heat built up during Jupiter's formation is slowly leaking out
gravitational energy

10. Atmosphere gets denser and denser towards its interior
gaseous hydrogen
liquid hydrogen
liquid metallic hydrogen (generates large magnetic field)
rocky core (15 x's Earth's mass)
