Hydrogen planets and high-pressure physics
Abstract
A theoretical discussion of the composition of the major planets is presented. A simplistic physical model of the giant planets is described. The conclusions of several theoretical explanations of the planetary structure are explained. Curves are developed to show the mass-radius relation for zero temperature spheres of various chemical compositions. The density of isothermal atmospheres of hydrogen as a function of the elevation above a surface of solid hydrogen.
