Sample
from 'The Gas Giants':
...If
these assumptions were to be proven correct the sequential
outcomes of the formation of each of the gas-planets would
need to display characteristics that reflect the above
features …and they do.
What
would the resulting gas-planets be expected to look like?
Where in the solar system would they be most likely to be
found? What would be the anticipated gas composition of each?
I
looked at the available evidence and very quickly stumbled
upon answers to each of these questions.
In terms of what we should expect to
find, and what we do find the following table provides
details of the gaseous composition of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus
and Neptune and compares these with what is found in the
atmosphere here on Earth. The reader may be surprised at what
is out there...
