What it would be like at the surface of Saturn or Jupiter?

Like Jupiter, Saturn is a gas giant, which means it’s mostly made of gases like hydrogen and helium, and it doesn’t have a solid surface in the way that rocky planets like Earth do. Saturn is mainly made of hydrogen and helium gas. Its density is so low that it would float in water.

Can you breathe in Jupiter?

There is no oxygen on Jupiter like there is on Earth. The plants on Earth have made the oxygen that we breathe.

Can you stand on Jupiter and Saturn?

It would not be possible for us to walk on the gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn, or in the ice giants like Neptune and Uranus because they are made of gas.

Why is it impossible to live in Jupiter?

A: Jupiter is a gas giant, which means it probably does not have a solid surface, and the gas it is made up of would be toxic for us. It is also very far from the sun (sunlight can take over an hour to get there) which means that is it very cold.

Can a human stand on Jupiter?

Have you ever wondered what it might feel like to stand on Jupiter’s surface? Jupiter is made up almost entirely of hydrogen and helium, with some other trace gases. 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.

Could a human survive Jupiter’s gravity?

Jupiter is the fastest rotating planet in our solar system. One day lasts about 9.5 Earth hours. You might survive down here if you were in a spacecraft built like the Trieste submarine — the deepest diving submarine on Earth. Any deeper and the pressure and temperature will be too great for a spacecraft to endure.

Why is Saturn’s atmosphere so different from Jupiter’s?

Available observations point to a much more vigorous vertical mixing in Saturn’s middle-upper atmosphere than in Jupiter’s. The nearly cloud-free nature of the Galileo probe entry site, a 5-micron hotspot, is consistent with the depletion of condensable volatiles to great depths, which is attributed to local meteorology.

Why can’t we live on Saturn?

Saturn was never habitable all the time. Saturn will still have it’s rings Oxygen would also have to be brought/created in great Amounts to react with hydrogen in the atmosphere Because of the sheer size of the planet, constructing artificial continents is very impractical. Floating bases would be constructed for humans to live there.

Can Saturn be terraformed to support life?

A terraformed Saturn showing a outer shell and super oceans and contents. Terraforming of Saturn seems impossible, but if it should become a habitable planet for humans, we would have to put a giant artificial surface with low altitudes, filling them with water oceans to support life.

Is there water on Saturn’s surface?

Somewhat similar depletion of water may be present in the 5-micron bright regions of Saturn also.
