Jupiter is a very hot planet, nobody even knows exactly how hot. Scientists think Jupiter's core might have temperatures around 43,000 ° Fahrenheit or 24,000 ° C, citing Space Place.

Scientists say, could be Jupiter has a solid core larger than Earth. Some scientists also think maybe Jupiter's core will be more like boiling hot water.

Almost all of Jupiter's contents consist of hydrogen and helium. On the surface of Jupiter (and on Earth) those elements are gases.

However, in Jupiter hydrogen can be a liquid or even a kind of metal. These changes occur due to outside temperatures and pressures in the core. The burden of hydrogen and helium is very heavy, so it will press down to the core of the planet, thus creating high pressure.

As a result, the molecules will run out of space to bounce, so they slow down and gather together to create fluid.

The pressure on the Jupiter core is very high, you will feel as much as 650 million pounds of pressure pressing on every square inch in your body. That's the same as around 160,000 cars piled on your entire body.
