Jupiter's appearance is a tapestry of beautiful colors and atmospheric features. Most visible clouds are composed of ammonia. Water exists deep below and can sometimes be seen through clear spots in the clouds. The planet's 'stripes' are dark belts and light zones created by strong east-west winds in Jupiter's upper atmosphere. Within these belts and zones are storm systems that have raged for years. The Great Red Spot, a giant spinning storm, has been observed for more than 300 years. The composition of Jupiter's atmosphere is similar to that of the Sun - mostly hydrogen and helium. Deep in the atmosphere, the pressure and temperature increase, compressing the hydrogen gas into a liquid. At depths about a third of the way down, the hydrogen becomes metallic and electrically conducting. In this metallic layer, Jupiter's powerful magnetic field is generated by electrical currents driven by Jupiter's fast rotation. At the center, the immense pressure may support a solid core of ice-rock about the size of Earth

The Gas Giants have a deep gas atmosphere and earth have a not so deep atmosphere
it has a heavy atmosphere
Venus. It's atmospheric pressure is 92 times that of Earth's atmosphere.
earth has people in it's atmosphere

It is a gassy planet like Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune
Jupiter's atmosphere is comprised of about 90 percent hydrogen and 10 percent helium. Jupiter is a gas giant and has no real solid surface.

Jupiter's atmosphere is 90 percent hydrogen and 10 percent helium. There are also some small amounts of sulfur, ammonia, water vapor and methane.
The composition of Jupiter's atmosphere is quite different from Earth's--Jupiter is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, the same elements that make up most stars. In fact, we expect that Jupiter has basically the same composition as the Sun. Like the Sun, Jupiter has its own heat source, but Jupiter's heat comes from heat left over from the formation of the planet 4.5 billion years ago, and heat produced today due to the slight contraction of the planet under its own gravity. This means that Jupiter's composition might be very much like the original solar nebula from which it--and the solar system--formed, so investigating Jupiter's atmosphere is a way for us to investigate the early solar system.

Galileo was an unmanned spacecraft designed to study Jupiter and its moons. On 13 July 1995, the Galileo Orbiter and the probe separated for the latter to penetrate Jupiter's atmosphere. Its scientific objectives included measuring Jupiter's temperature, chemical composition and its atmospheric pressure structure. The probe entered Jupiter's atmosphere on 7 December 1995.
