Detailed explanation-1: -The gas planet likely has three distinct cloud layers in its “skies” that, taken together, span about 44 miles (71 kilometers). The top cloud is probably made of ammonia ice, while the middle layer is likely made of ammonium hydrosulfide crystals. The innermost layer may be made of water ice and vapor.

Detailed explanation-2: -Saturn Cloud Decks There are three different layers of clouds, or clouddecks, in Saturn’s atmosphere, as shown in this picture. The clouddecks are made of different molecules. The first clouddeck is made of ammonia clouds.

Detailed explanation-3: -We review measurements from past space missions that provided constraints for the interior structure of Jupiter. We discuss typical three-layer interior models that consist of a dense central core and an inner metallic and an outer molecular hydrogen-helium layer.

Detailed explanation-4: -The atmosphere of Jupiter is classified into four layers, by increasing altitude: the troposphere, stratosphere, thermosphere and exosphere. Unlike the Earth’s atmosphere, Jupiter’s lacks a mesosphere.

Detailed explanation-5: -Jupiter seems to have at least three major cloud layers made out of different chemicals. Each layer sits at an altitude where the temperature is cold enough for the respective chemicals to condense. The highest layer, where it’s the coldest, is composed of bright, white clouds of ammonia crystals.
