Scientists have measured that Jupiter releases more internal heat than it absorbs from the Sun, based on observations of its structure, rotation, and atmospheric behavior.
The internal structure of gas giant planets may be more complex than the commonly assumed core-envelope structure with an adiabatic temperature profile. Different primordial internal structures as ...
