In addition to the observation of clouds, Galileo also recorded data on Jupiter's chemical composition. It was surprising to many to find that the planet contains very little water since scientists had expected that Jupiter would be abundant in oxygen that would react to form massive quantities of water.

; This is a drawing showing the composition of the interior of Jupiter. ... The composition of Jupiter's interior is mostly the simple molecules hydrogen, in the form of liquid. ... Under the cloud layers, when the environment is just right, the hydrogen of which Jupiter is made changes to liquid hydrogen.

The composition of Jupiter's interior is mostly the simple molecules hydrogen, in the form of liquid. ... Under the cloud layers, when the environment is just right, the hydrogen of which Jupiter is made changes to liquid hydrogen. The liquid hydrogen gradually changes further to liquid metallic hydrogen.
