Could a gas giant have a breathable atmosphere?
It might be possible for us to insert life forms from Earth to create a breathable atmosphere of a gas giant. This may be possible with the use of genetically-modified algae to produce oxygen, which humans and many other organisms needs to breathe.
What planet is the last gas giant?
According to NASA, the planet has 27 moons, and the atmospheric composition of Uranus is hydrogen, helium and ammonium. The final gas planet in our solar system is Neptune, which also has a radius four times that of Earth. It has 13 confirmed natural satellites and one awaiting confirmation from NASA.
Can Jupiter pass through?
Despite its gusty reputation as a “gas giant,” Jupiter’s blood-red clouds hide a dense, rocky core that’s perhaps 20 times as massive as Earth. That core blocks any spacecraft’s passage through the center of the planet, but even a detour through the clouds would be a disaster.
Can you fly straight through Jupiter?
No, You won’t be able to fly *through* jupiter – beyond the gas, there is a liquid mass, beyond which, there is a solid sphere.
Is it possible to walk on Jupiter?
There is no firm surface on Jupiter, so if you tried to stand on the planet, you sink down and be crushed by the intense pressure inside the planet. If you could stand on the surface of Jupiter, you would experience intense gravity. The gravity at Jupiter’s surface is 2.5 times the gravity on Earth.
Can we pass through Jupiter?
Surface. As a gas giant, Jupiter doesn’t have a true surface. While a spacecraft would have nowhere to land on Jupiter, it wouldn’t be able to fly through unscathed either. The extreme pressures and temperatures deep inside the planet crush, melt, and vaporize spacecraft trying to fly into the planet.
Is it possible to terraform a gas planet?
No. Terraforming is the act of transforming a planet to make it more Earth-like, such that we might eventually be able to live on the surface. Gas giants do not have a surface.
Can a gas planet have an atmosphere?
The planet Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are sometimes called the Gas Giants because so much of the mass of these planets consists of a gaseous atmosphere. These bodies generally lie far from the sun. Most of these bodies lie close to the sun.
