Jupiter & questions on its Spin???

Why does it spin so fast? Does its layers spin in lock step? Why is it
its poles are not flattened by centrifugal force? Its rock core and ice
is 5 times bigger than the Earth begs this question. How round is it.?
How deep is its atmosphere? Thought just jumped in Is it in reality
Jupiter having all that hydrogen and helium make it kind of misleading a
planet? than if I thought of it as a cold star. I think its odd that
that hydrogen and helium has a cloud made of frozen ammonia high
above.the hydrogen. Last question Where do all those free electrons
come from? Ooops one more question Does Jupiter's radiation a hazard to
life on its big moons? I read its great magnetic field extends out to
Saturn orbit. We need to land a probe on its rock,and ice surface Go

Much the same as Venus, whereas the outer spin has little if anything
to do with the inner spin. The planet surface of Venus is actually in
retrograde spin.

**If Jupiter's inner spin were different from its outer spin, that would

Mark yes different spin layers would create friction,and we see Jupiter
has a lot of lightning. Also it has liquid hydrogen and that is a very
good conductor. This makes for a strong magnetic field. My posting
this was mostly I have no idea how deep its atmosphere is,nor why its
spin has not cause a greater equatorial bulge. We know so much more
about Venus's surface. Pictures taken of its lava flows The peak of
Maat Mons (5 miles high) all done by the Magellan probe. Venus seems to
have a lava surface. Jupiter is said to have a liquid hydrogen surface
covering its icy rock core. go figure TreBert

They ARE flattened.


Its rock core and ice
is 5 times bigger than the Earth begs this question. How round is it.?

What free electrons?

There IS hazardous radiatrion around Jupiter.


*I read its great magnetic field extends out to

It would have to be a lot sturdier than the ones landed on Venus!

Figure what?

There's certainly no other planet with bigger or badder storms than
Jupiter.

Unlikely there's any ice deep under those thick clouds of Jupiter.
Jupiter is essentially a low end brown dwarf, whereas its moons derive
more of their IR heating from Jupiter than from the sun.

However, as far as accommodating inside ice, Venus is perfectly good
for hosting our Winter Olympics. All that's needed is a very large
and well insulated building, and there's no better or easier planet
than Venus for doing just that.

Well, Bert, we here on Earth also almost have a liquid hydrogen
surface, the oceans.

Maybe we have more in common with Jupiter than we think.

You've been there? (there's not much density, you know)

I believe in the regular laws of physics, and in using technology to
its fullest.
