Jupiter the largest and oldest of the
eight planets is by far one of the most
mysterious worlds in the solar system it
is so big that's one thousand three
hundred planet earths could fit inside
of it and it's huge gravitational pull
is also believed to have played an
important role in protecting earth from
potentially deadly comets the planet is
mainly made up of hydrogen and helium
gas
just like the Sun plus other chemical
compounds such as methane ammonia and
water that helped to form its
distinctive atmosphere since Galileo
first turned his telescope on the
colossal gas planet and witnessed its
magnificent swirling bands of clouds
scientists have wondered what might be
hiding inside of Jupiter in modern times
science has developed better ways of
exploring the gas planets than just a
telescope such as the Galileo spacecraft
and more recently Juno incredible
spacecraft such as these have collected
data that has allowed scientists to
study many aspects of this colossal
world including answering the question
of what lurks inside so let's put on our
science fiction spacesuits and dive
directly into this strange world to see
what lurks deep below Jupiter's
enigmatic clouds

because this mission is in the name of
science let's assume that you have been
equipped with special science fiction
spacesuits suits that will protect you
from the devastating environment that
Jupiter has to offer such as its frigid
and scorching temperatures deadly
radiation lack of oxygen and it's
colossal pressures for example you would
first fall through the high white
ammonia clouds at about 0.5 atmospheres
because the gravity of Jupiter is so
strong you would be descending roughly
2.25 times faster than if you are
falling towards Earth the sun's light
would still be visible but it wouldn't
warm you as it's incredibly cold at this
altitude dropping to below minus 150
degrees Celsius you would eventually
reach the bottom of the ammonia clouds
feeling a pressure of one atmosphere at
this point the Sun can still be seen but
it's light is being filtered by the
clouds above resembling an overcast day
back on earth but below you would see
the next stage of your journey rollin
Brown ammonium hydrosulfide and ammonium
sulphide clouds which started about two
atmospheres and become more and more
Brown the further you travel through
them as you enter these clouds the light
from the Sun would slowly diminish and
the temperature would start to heat up
due to the ever increasing pressures
around you
the further you descent the darker it
will become until it is completely black
but then huge flashes of lightning
illuminate the now dark environments you
find yourself in revealing towering
white water ice clouds that are causing
rumbling understand to occur as you pass
through this cloud stage the pressure
would increase to a crushing 10
atmospheres and the temperature would
have risen to 20 degrees Celsius using
your high-tech sci-fi helmet you can now
see what's around you but you would
quickly realize that the cloud layers
were the easy part of your adventure as
you emerge from the bottom of the
water-ice clouds the pressure would
become intense and - the temperature
would drastically increase to above 200
degrees Celsius after a very very long
time of sinking you would start to
notice the atmosphere becoming thicker
and eventually you would stop as your
density equals out of the environment
around you but because your suit is
extremely high-tech it allows you to
sink further into the abyss just to see
what lies beneath after an extremely
long wait you'd have now sunk 13,000
miles into Jupiter and into the metallic
region at 2 million atmospheres at this
stage the hydrogen has become so dense
that it has become a type of liquid
metal and this is what causes Jupiter's
strong magnetic field the temperature
would continue to increase becoming
hotter than the surface of the Sun as
the hydrogen metal around you glows
white hot and illuminates the strange
environments after a seriously long time
of sinking through this abyss you would
eventually hit rock bottom literally
this would be the final stage of your
journey you would be standing on a
surface perhaps 10 times the mass of
Earth and made of rock and exotic ices
at a pressure of above 25 million at
phears
