Answer 1:
It's actually not clear. Jupiter is made
almost entirely of gas. Most scientists think
it may have a small, rocky core, but we do not
know if this is true. If that core does exist, it
would be possible to land on it, but any probe
would have to venture through the extremely
turbulent and hazardous atmosphere that is
thousands of miles thick. The atmosphere is very
stormy and consists almost entirely of hydrogen
and helium. For example the great red spot on
Jupiter is a massive storm about 3x the size of
Earth.
