#TIL, and i wonder why i didn’t know this before.
#Jupiter and #Saturn aren’t really made up of gases, technically speaking. Almost all of it is supercritical fluid. The critical point for Hydrogen ist just 32.938 K, 1.2858 MPa, that for Helium much lower.Otoh, supercritical fluid planet hasn’t quite the ring as gas giant.
