>called a "gas giant"
>has an average density higher than liquid water

What did the astronomers mean by this?

>>16733827 (OP)
everything becomes a gas it you apply enough pressure

Doesn't Jupiter has a super dense solid core or something?

>>16733827 (OP)
Astute observation. That's because Jupiter is more liquid than gas.

>Jupiter is a gas giant, meaning its chemical composition is primarily hydrogen and helium. These materials are classified as gasses in planetary geology, a term that does not denote the state of matter
Five seconds of googling. Retards.

>>16733827 (OP)
Jupiter has a rocky core which mogs the outer layers in density, contributing to this stat.

Why are planetary geologists like this?

>>16734081
because it's convenient.
and in reference to the state of matter of the material that originally formed the planets of the solar nebula it's accurate.

>we talk bullshit because it's convenient
everything wrong with scientists summed up in one sentence

>>16733827 (OP)
It's a gas giant not because of the state of the matter, but because the planet's composition consist only of gas elements (hydrogen and helium), Anon.

>>16733827 (OP)
Oceans and rivers are part of the atmosphere

>>16733827 (OP)
Jupiter is a failed star.
Gas giant is just the political correct term for 'you tried'.

There aren't any scientists on /sci/, just high school students waking-and-baking a phat pipe before coming onto 4chan on Saturday AM

No. That's not how field effects work.
