What if all planets have volanoes like Earth Venus,and Mars? Could
Jupiter have very active volcanoes that make its atmosphere so thick?
We can not see its solid surface,but know its 15 times bigger than the
whole Earth.It has to have great heat from all that pressure. *I have
an idea if a rock is 3 times bigger than Earth we would see it as a
gas planet. It fits * I wonder how high up Jupiter's atmosphere goes.
Earth's is about 25 miles up?? * Does Jupiter have a stratisphere? Is
its gases in layers? Is its red in the red eye due to hot iron in a
gas state? *Bert


Like to add Good physics is showing me that Jupiter's atmosphere is
raining down elements onto its solid surface adding size to it at a
very fast rate.How much more density does Jupiter need to shine(star
like) I would think a lot If our debula was twice as dense the Sun
would have a twin. I believe life on a rock planet with two stars
evolving around each other would mean no life. Bert
