Default How the gas Giants planets gathered their gas at formation

I believe they started as a huge rock metal core greater than the
mass
of the earth that was capable of gathering their huge gas atmospheres
through great gravity. Gas by itself does not possess enough gravity.

No, but starstuffs do.

No, but starstuffs do.


Those starstuffs I take to be the heavier elements that would make the
gas giants core capturing the gas.

***Sure, you could put it like that. But they would have to be pretty
amazingly heavy if scattered molecules of themselves are going to
somehow float together through space.

And you're an EXPERT now on scattered stuff, Mark?

This from a MAN (?) who rejects EVERYTHING that SCIENCE has
determined, but believes in ANGELS?

BAWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

We've read your STUFF before, Mark. It's all A BIG JOKE!

Not much left for us to go on! I don't mean toilets!

This from a man that believes SCIENTISTS?
Those idiots that can't get us out of Earth orbit 39 years after landing
a man on the Moon?

Over the cliff you go, lemming!

Most "starstuff" is light elements, Mitch. You know: hydrogen,
helium, etc.

Anything above helium is considered a METAL by astrophysicists.
(We've covered that topic before too!)

I still think you need a more massive core made of metal and rock to
capture all the gas the giant planets are made of.

Perhaps, however even a relatively small rock would
gather the gas if it were orbiting through a hydrogen
cloud blown outward by the initial Solar wind when
the Sun first "lit up". Then, as more and more gas is
gathered, gravitational effect increases making it
easier and easier to gather gas and to sustain a huge
and growing hydrogen atmosphere.

When all the gas has been gathered, then protoJupiter
becomes... Jupiter.

happy days and...
starry starry nights!

Good for you, Mitch! Then it was ALIENS who formed each metal/rock
core and started the whole planet! lmao!

That makes as much sense as what you wrote.
