4. Composition and Appearance
Jupiter has a very dense core. It was thought to be surrounded by a layer of liquid metallic, hydrogen, and helium, and an outer layer of hydrogen.
The appearance of Jupiter is that it has stripped patterns of clouds which are white, orange, and brown. The Great Red spot also appears on Jupiter’s surface.
Jupiter has three rings. They are all made of dust. When a meteor strikes the surface of Jupiter’s small, inner moons, dust kicks up, and then the dust goes into orbit with Jupiter making its rings.
The atmosphere on Jupiter is mostly made up of hydrogen and helium. In some small parts, it has methane, ammonia, hydrogen, sulfide, and water
