The Mystery of Missing Jupiters in Outer Space

The outer planets of our solar system, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, have unique characteristics such as oceans of liquid metal and water, stormy weather, and possible diamond rain. The interiors of these planets are also remarkably hot, with Saturn, Jupiter, and Neptune radiating more heat than they receive from the Sun. While it is unlikely that one could stand on the surface of these gas giants, scientists continue to study their enigmatic properties to better understand their formation and evolution.
