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

What did the astronomers mean by this?

everything becomes a gas it you apply enough pressure

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

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.

Jupiter has a rocky core which mogs the outer layers in density, contributing to this stat.

Why are planetary geologists like this?

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.

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.
