and Jupiter’s gas turns into liquid hydrogen, forming the largest ‘ocean’ in our solar system—though it contains no water. 20,000 miles down, hydrogen transforms into exotic liquid metal ...
Around 12,000 kilometres deep, the pressure is so intense (approximately two million times stronger than the atmospheric pressure we experience on the Earth's surface), that the liquid hydrogen acts ...

Why does Jupiter look like it has a surface ... 20,000 miles (about 32,000 kilometers), and the hydrogen becomes more like flowing liquid metal, a material so exotic that only recently ...
Deep within Jupiter, the extreme pressure compresses hydrogen gas into a liquid state, creating an ocean of liquid metallic hydrogen. This “ocean” is unique as it doesn’t contain water.
Hydrogen and helium separate at pressures and temperatures found within the gas giant Jupiter’s marbled exterior ... which becomes a liquid metal under these conditions (SN: 8/10/16).
Below the gassy upper layers, the pressure and temperature increase so much that atoms of hydrogen eventually compress into a liquid ... metal. The planet's fast spin on its axis means that one ...
The simplest example is Jupiter, which Ramsey ... a strange thing happens to hydrogen. Its molecular structure collapses, and it turns into a metal much heavier than nonmetallic solid hydrogen.
