all the Solar System's planets are telluric
What you learnt at school and in some books is false! There aren't on one side
telluric planets (as the Earth) and of the other one the giant planets (as Jupiter) but all the planets are telluric. Indeed, the planets which one calls in twists "gas giants" contain a solid core, that we can't see because it is hidden by a thick atmosphere. For example, it's written in the French Pierre Kohler's very serious book "The Earth and Celestial bodies" edited by Hachette Encyclopedy page 138 that the centre of Jupiter is occupied by a sphere of solid hydrogen about 92000 km in diameter. So Jupiter is not a gazeuze planet of diameter 142700 km but a telluric planet of diameter 92000 km recovered by a thick opaque atmosphere of a height of 142700 - 92000 = 50700 km, counts that it is necessary to divide by two because the thickness is counted in both diametrically opposite directions, what gives an atmospheric thickness of 25350 km. There is a similar structure for Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. |

Hmm,as i recall ... on a BBC episode about space(wich there are many i
think),they said that THEY THINK gas giants have solid core but have not 100% proof... IT can be speculated,but...why not.i too beleave this is possible...And btw,this is no news ...its on for quite a while.At least here in Europe. Just to comment on this Cya in space "Agena 2003" wrote in message ... What you learnt at school and in some books is false!
