Answer 7

Answer 8

Solid surface under a thick atmosphere: none of the Jovians

Answer 9

Mostly composed of hydrogen and helium: All four?

Answer 10

Or just first two ._.

Answer 11

its all four so correct cx

Answer 12

okay, that was my first guess

Answer 13

Orbited by rings of ice and rock: Jupiter and Saturn

Answer 14

Pretty sure they both have rings

Answer 15

ye dey do

Answer 16

Not sure about the other two...I know they got moons

Answer 17

Approximately 10 earth mass core: It's either none or the last two. Jupiter and Saturn are way larger...

Answer 18

I feel like I read somewhere that Neptune was 80x though...

Answer 19

though, neptune and uranus do have rings too, they are just not as dominant as jupiter and saturn....so `orbited by rings of ice and rock` would apply to `all`.

Answer 20

Oh okay

Answer 21

What about the mass core one

Answer 22

I'm only confused because of the terminology "Earth mass core."

Answer 23

Hrmm I would think it would apply to all, I remember reading from somewhere that when a planet comes to be an approximate `10 earth mass core` it would have a stronger attraction to the gasses around it creating a big thick atmosphere...but i dont remember where i read this.

Answer 24

I think it's all four Jovian then

Answer 25

*something to research again e.e*

Answer 26

Because they all had a strong enough core to attract the gases around it.

Answer 27

mhm

Answer 28

Magnetic fields is a tricky one. I don't think they have as much metallic material, at least the last two (Neptune and Uranus). Any thoughts?

Answer 29

It would apply to all, each outer planet contains a magnetic field, im honestly not so informed about how their magnetic field works so i would probableh relate to this article which explains the workings of it: https://cseligman.com/text/planets/metallichydrogen.htm

Answer 30

I trust you
