Question
10.Question 10Uranus and Neptune are very different from Jupiter and Saturn. Which of the following is NOT true of the differences between these sets of planets?1 pointAll of these statements are trueUranus and Neptune have only a fraction of the mass of Jupiter or SaturnWhile Jupiter and Saturn have mostly regular magnetic fields, the complex non-dipolar magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune suggest that the magnetic field is generating closer to the top of the atmosphere on these planets.Neither Uranus nor Neptune is massive to have metallic hydrogen on the insideUranus and Neptune are more dense than Jupiter and Saturn, even though Jupiter and Saturn are much more compressed.
Solution
The statement "Neither Uranus nor Neptune is massive to have metallic hydrogen on the inside" is NOT true. Both Uranus and Neptune are believed to have metallic hydrogen inside them, although in smaller amounts compared to Jupiter and Saturn. The presence of metallic hydrogen is not solely dependent on the mass of the planet, but also on the pressure conditions inside the planet. Even though Uranus and Neptune are less massive than Jupiter and Saturn, the pressure conditions inside them are still extreme enough to create metallic hydrogen.
