Isn't it amazing how some people still think you can LAND or STEP on a GAS giant planet???

Question

Gas giant planets are balls of gas. They may have a rocky core but you cant just land on it. These planets may LOOK solid but if someone has any common sense they will realize that "gas giant" is not meant to sound solid.

Well, if you went to these planets chences are you would die befor even going deep. the gases will be poisonous and there are very strong winds. no air, no oxygen , nothing but bitter coldness and hostility.

yea and maybe the gas will magically turn solid Ramy E. The core is theoretically solid. but the rest is not?? How are you going to make the gases solid??? Have you ever heard of the missions made to those planets?? Look it up. Where doe sit say that these planets have a rocky or terrestrial surface?? Why havent we seen any pictures of the "surface". Maybe if you go to Lala Land then they will turn solid.

Answer 1

Right back achya. Gas planets are not solid at all exept their supposed liquid mantle. The deeper you go into Jupiter, the fircer the wind and storms (Like it was not windy and deadly enough on the surface!) untill the pressure gets so great, the gass becomes solid. If you were to go into jupiter, you would fall and be crushed by it's gravity. WHATS WRONG WITH PEOPLE!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Not really - nobody knows for sure what the inside of a gas giant is like. It's quite possible that some (or all) have a solid core deep inside. With our present level of technology it's impossible for anybody to reach such a core (if it exists) but that doesn't necessarily mean it won't be possible some time in the future. So there's no reason why (theoretically) it should be impossible to land or step on a gas giant planet.

Answer 3

I would like to verify something....Gas giant DO HAVE a surface!! you see, as you go deeper in a gas giant the pressure of the overlying gas increases more and more till the extent that the gas, hydrogen mostly, becomes liquid and finally you reach a point where it becomes solid! so all giant gas planets have a solid surface (its core). The probelm lies in the fact that any man made object would completly get cruched by the immense pressure before reaching the surface. Ofcourse, sending humans is out of the question. We cant even send men to Venus which has a surface ofcourse but has an atmosphere with a pressure of nearly 70 bars (70 times more than Earth)

Answer 4

So what would happen? Would you just keep sinking deeper and deeper until you reached 'crush depth' or could you float around in a helium filled dirigible? And what would that look like if you could? Would you be able to see anything?

Answer 5

I don't think those people care about astronomy or maybe they don't think about it but YES. Neptune is def the sweetest planet ever too.

Answer 6

yes
