      It is mostly hydrogen and helium. Jupiter is one of the four ‘gas giant’ planets that are known to us, so far!

      I guess Jupiter’s two main gases are hydrogen and helium. It may have heavier elements in its core just like Earth but I’m afraid I don’t have a clue what they might be! Silicon? Aluminium?

      Hydrogen and helium in large quantities for sure. Maybe there are more though…hmm… I am stumped!
