minus-squareilinamorato@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·1 month agoActually, Jupiter doesn’t have a solid core the way you think! The gases just get so dense at the core that it starts to behave like a solid. You couldn’t, like, blow away all the clouds and have some rock to wander around on.
