if jupiter is a gas planet and a large asteroid hit, would the asteroid keep falling till it hit the core ..?

Answer 1

An asteroid colliding with Jupiter will not keep falling till it hit the core.

Jupiter's atmosphere becomes very dense very quickly past its top cloud layers. Hitting it at high speed would be like crashing into a solid brick wall. An asteroid hitting Jupiter will just explode due to the speed and force of the collision.

We have already seen this happen to Jupiter of course, back in 1994, when comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 struck Jupiter. The fragments simply exploded as they penetrated Jupiter's upper atmosphere.

Answer 2

Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 broke up and hit Jupiter a few years back, it opened up gaping holes in the gas surface. None of the fragments emerged from the other side. If the fragments survived that long they would hit the solid core. More likely that they'd be burnt up long before they reached that far.

Answer 3

I'd say it's plausible.

Jupiter is a gas giant, which does not mean that it does not have foreign bodies within it that can affect the trajectory of any foreign body passing through it. It could very easily be deflected or destroyed by the friction of passing through the gases just like meteors burn up in our atmosphere.

So to get to the core you'd need:
- High velocity to punch through
- A dense body to survive the burn
- Luck not to hit anything floating in there that could deflect it.

Answer 4

It would probably vaporize high up in the atmosphere like comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 when we observed the impact into Jupiter.

Answer 5

It would probably get close but might not hit the core depending on the amount of friction exerted on its surface by the gases

Answer 6

the imense pressure and the strong gravity would crush it before it made it to the core,,

Answer 7

No. No planet will allow such a hit.

Answer 8

I reckon so- or until it burned up.
