Document Summary
4:21 pm: basic facts, interior, mag field. J and s have similar structure (atm layer, gas h, liquid h, metallic h and core) Fraction of liquid metallic h larger in j and s. U and n have similar structure (atm, gas, ice, core) Angle btwn rot axis and rot mag field. Shift btwn center of planet and center of mag field: atm comp, rings, e budget, cloud layers, atm (t and clouds) Massive enough that ( h and he) don"t entirely escape to space. Hydrocarbons and trace gases, important to develop weather. Vertical of earth and gas planets same. T not sig colder on n than on u (internal heat diff) U and n 1 type poss other cloud. Internal heat of gas planets help explore formationa nd circulation. Temporal variation of e budget also important. Sat strong (optical: ref of wind measurement. Good ref should be stationary or moves with constant speed.
