GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -A gas giant is a large planet mostly composed of helium and/or hydrogen. These planets, like Jupiter and Saturn in our solar system, don’t have hard surfaces and instead have swirling gases above a solid core.

Detailed explanation-2: -Composed predominantly of hydrogen and helium, the massive Jupiter is much like a tiny star. But despite the fact that it is the largest planet in the solar system, the gas giant just doesn’t have the mass needed to push it into stellar status.

Detailed explanation-3: -Atmosphere and Weather: Jupiter’s extremely dense and relatively dry atmosphere is composed of a mixture of hydrogen, helium and much smaller amounts of methane and ammonia. The same mixture of elements which made Jupiter also made the Sun.
