Jupiter, the colossus of the solar system, is a compelling enigma that defies our conventional understanding of planetary composition. Unlike terrestrial bodies such as Earth or Mars, which boast solid surfaces, Jupiter exists as a massive gas giant composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. This characteristic can be perplexing—how does a planet without a solid
