Because it farts a lot?

How dull some are. All they know is bathroom humor.

Some day these scientists will get things right!

Not liquid,but deep gas in tornado motion.See its eye.Its core is both liquid and solid hydrogen.Bert

You are going against the textbooks now Bert. They say Jupiter is made of

liquid hydrogen. They say only the thin outer layer is gas.


Jupiter is slowly shrinking!

Gravity is compressing it,and it is losing stuff as its top thin gas goes out in space.Reality is Jupiter gives off 5% more energy than it gets from the Sun.I think its fast spin helps too.Bert


I suppose you could always say that the liquid hydrogen Jupiter is made of is compressed gas. We call what we fill up our cars with gas. But we need to get our words right or scientists are never going to get to first base, because no one will know what anyone else is talking about.



There are high pressures at which liquids and gasses are hard to distinguish.

I think you may be onto something. As some say there are always gray areas..

to OP. as a hydro monster, it can ignite to a second sun. just in case our current needs a break. We humans been here for longer than you think.

Water can not be compressed.Pressure creates heat.Does liquid iron become a solid at the Earth's core? I think I read that it does.Hmmm Bert

"For each atmosphere increase in pressure, the volume of water would decrease 46.4 parts per million."

Water IS compressible!

Yes, it can, it is called the Hydrogen Bomb. Nasty. don't blow one off near your neighborhood. warning dangerous.
