How can a FUCKING PLANET be made up entirely of gas...

How can a FUCKING PLANET be made up entirely of gas? How can a planet with 11 times the volume of Earth stay as one thing if it is made up entirely of gas? Like what the fuck? Wouldn't the gas just dissipate away to outer space?

Gas particles have a mass. The core (and all the other gases deep down) causes a gravitational pull on the gas thus it cant escape.

Its not made entirely of gas, it has a rocky core.

I think they call it gravity, or something like that..

How does earth have an atmosphere?

Wouldnt the gas just dissipate away to outer space?

I'd love to see sun suddenly just lose it's gravity. Imagine all that plasma and shit just floating into space, it would be so beautiful.

There wouldn't be any plasma because fusion would stop.

It's a brown star, not a planet.

>implying Jupiter is entirely gas
It's not. It has a dense core keeping the gas together through gravity.

This belongs in

> It has a dense core keeping the gas together through gravity.
You mean it has a dense ""solid"" core (relative the hydrogen gas atmosphere), from the intense pressure caused by how massive Jupiter is/gravity

I figured OP was smart enough to understand what I meant by "core"

>brown star

Wow anno a brown star? I have never heard of one of them before tell me more please.

we've never managed to get far below the surface, but if the whole planet is made of the same shit all the way through (which it probably isn't, there's probably at least some rock in the middle), the intense pressure would make the gas into a liquid and eventually a solid as you get deeper

The most well known and largest brown star is Uranus.

Uranus isn't a star you shitlord

>rocky core.

Iron core to be precise.

When all matter is burned up through fusion/fission the only thing left in the universe will be iron. I have to wonder the iron in jupiter and in Earth was made in a long dead star, or if it was made in house? Is there nuclear reaction happening inside planets that keeps them super warm? Helium emissions would seem to suggest so. It might also explain why Mars is a iron filled lifeless rock with a cold frozen core.

also, wouldn't this make the Earth a natural occurring dyson sphere?

No you're right. It's a starfish. Uranus is a brown starfish.

>also, wouldn't this make the Earth a natural occurring dyson sphere?
...

a dyson sphere is ginomous sphere encircling a sun and taking its energy, HOW THE FUCK COULD IT BE THAT

Please, just don't say that again, the smallest brown star is several times bigger than Jupiter. The only star that we have in our solar system is the sun.

Jupiter is three parts

An enormous hydogen helium atmosphere
A collosal metallic hydrogen ocean layer
A solid icy core layer

The reason why Jupiter is so gassy is because it takes a really fucking low temperate to make hydrogen and helium become solid, and it has the largest gravitational field in the solar system so it sucked up most of the elements in the outer solar system. Hydrogen and Helium are not dense thus they would be found farther away in the outer solar system than the inner that is why the inner part of our system is mostly rocky planets because the more denser metallic elements were in that sector of the Nebula.

I think it is 11 the diameter of the earth and no the volume.

if there's nuclear reactions occurring in the Earth that's producing heat, than any geothermal energy we harvest would be "energy harvested from a dyson sphere." Nobody said a dyson sphere had to be efficient.

Autists.

That's fission, not fusion
It's also not a star, which is what a dyson sphere is built around

>That's fission, not fusion

Then where does helium come from?

>Nobody said a dyson sphere had to be efficient.
dyson sphere is around a star
youre objectively and provenly wrong

anything you say is proof of your retardness

Count the number of planets in the picture dipshit

>provenly
fgt pls

>11 times the volume of Earth

oh user...

I have some bad news for you, volume does not work that way.

Jupiter has 1,300 times the volume of earth.

(source: google)

this means that it has a fuckton more gravity, and thus can hold onto the gasses.

The most well known and largest black hole is Urmom.

Alpha particles, produced by alpha radioactive decay, are literally just helium nuclei.

Imagine icebergs in a gas sea, coalescing around the core.

Reminder that we don't actually *know* whether or not Jupiter has a core. It could just be gas all the way down. Arguments for or against a core are based upon theoretical models of planet formation, rather than actual measurements.

>make a butt joke
>Veeky Forumsborgs completely miss it
didn't expect to laugh this hard in this thread

it would retain most of its heat, probably.
besides, fusion only happens in the core, and there's plasma througout

Oh, fuck off. You should wait will 5th to start using dirty words, dipshit. The notions of volume and diameter are among the most basic things in geometry. Read a fucking book before telling us your """truths""".

>not getting the joke this hard

Does iron ever degrade into anything else?

Something something Jupiter's big magnetic field protects it from solar wind's (or flares, I dunno.)

Sometimes.

>Wouldn't the gas just dissipate away to outer space?
two things user
1. gravity
2. temperature
most ITT have missed the point that brownian motion is driven by temperature and Jupiter is pretty damned cold. Add in the fact that the solar wind is pretty weak and Jupe's magnetic field keeps most of that at bay and you end up with not much action to drive any errant gas molecules away.

The sun is basically a controlled thermonuclear explosion. If it suddenly lost its gravity it would explode because there is no longer gravity to hold the pressurized explosion together in a ball

How do we know that?

I always wonder how we get this info on the interiors of planets

>How can a planet with 11 times the volume of Earth
>volume
>VOLUME
Get the fuck out right now brainlet. Fucking kill yourself right now. GET THE FUCK OUT REEEEEEEE

You're right. Earth basically fits into Jupiter around 1300 times iirc

i'm gonna have a brownian motion in the toilet soon

flying around the center of the milkyway with 2 million miles per hour is not controlled-the sun is a open thermonucular reactor-take it like a man

Is Mn 55 the end of the line?

What about Kanye West? Isn't he is the smallest brown star?

Did you not finish high school?
