Document Summary
The essential cosmic perspective, 7th edition: jovian planets, far from the sun cold (sunlight . Computer model : computed interior structure has. Uid metallic hydrogen for jupiter and saturn but not uranus and neptune. Core of rock + metal = tiny volume of planet: magnetic elds. Jupiter and saturn have powerful magnetic elds created by rapid rotation and metallic uid zone. Uranus and neptune lack metallic uid zones, but they also have magnetic. Chapter 8 summary page 2 of 2: weather is di erent because. Far from the sun little solar heating from above. More heat coming up from within the planets than down from the sun. Atmosphere is composed of hydrogen and molecules containing hydrogen. No solid land to alter/disrupt weather patterns. Complex gravitational interaction in large families of satellites: saturn"s moon titan. Surface uids of hydrogen compounds: many medium-size moon show surprising surface activity, rings, present for all jovian planets requires a general explanation, not solid structures.
