Jupiter is by far the largest planet in our solar system. But if you fell into it, would you actually hit... anything? In today's video, we jump in and see. Support me on Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/answerswithjoe
Jupiter is made of 90% hydrogen and 10 percent Helium and other chemicals. Its clouds include layers of ammonia ice, ammonium sulfide, and water vapor, but underneath the cloud layer, things get really weird.
The pressure forces the hydrogen together until it takes on some unique properties, first a supercritical state that is neither gas nor water, and the other a metallic hydrogen state where the flowing hydrogen conducts electricity that ultimately powers its massive magnetic field.
Oh, and it will kill you.
