No, Jupiter may be all atmosphere. As far as scientists know Jupiter is a big ball of gas and may not have a solid core. If it does it's very small compared to the atmosphere.

The entire Jupiter atmospheric structure is about 1000 km thick.

The planet Jupiter is one of the "gas giants" in our solar system. Like Saturn and Uranus, Jupiter does not have a solid surface. These planets are giant balls of gas. In a sense, Jupiter is all atmosphere. If these gas giants had more mass, the compression of their planetary cores due to gravity would be enough to initiate nuclear fusion. They would then be stars. The size of these planets lies somewhere between being large enough to be a star and small enough to blow away.

Depends how high you are. At the top of the atmosphere, it's thin of course (otherwise it wouldn't be the top, would it?).
1000 km below the top, the atmosphere is about as thick as on the Earth's surface. If you go down another 146 km, it is 22 times as thick. (That's like the pressure on Earth under 750 feet of ocean.) The Galileo probe when down that far before we lost the signal.

No. It has a very thick atmosphere. In fact, the big red spot is the size of 4 earths and it is a gigantic storm!
