JupiterTerrestrial core, thick liquid metallic hydrogen layer, molecular hydrogenNo solid surface, atmosphere gradually thickens to liquid state, belt and zone structure, hurricanelike featuresYesPrimarily H, He19,000 × Earth’s total field; at its cloud layer, 14 × stronger than Earth’s surface field
SaturnSimilar to Jupiter, with bigger terrestrial core and less metallic hydrogenNo solid surface, less distinct belt and zone structure than JupiterYesPrimarily H, He570 × Earth’s total field; at its cloud layer, ⅔ × Earth’s surface field
UranusTerrestrial core, liquid water shell, liquid hydrogen and helium mantleNo solid surface, weak belt and zone system, hurricanelike features, color from methane absorption of red, orange, yellowYesPrimarily H, He, some CH450 × Earth’s total field, at its cloud layer, 0.7 × Earth’s surface field
NeptuneSimilar to UranusSimilar to UranusYesPrimarily H, He, some CH435 × Earth’s total field, at its cloud layer, 0.4 × Earth’s surface field
