Which of the following is NOT true about the jovian planets?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

To tackle this question, I’ll evaluate each statement in turn and judge whether it is true or not about jovian planets.
Option 1: 'Despite the amount of atmosphere, jovians have less storm activity than Earth does' — This is incorrect. Jovian planets actually exhibit very vigorous and widespread storm activity, with features like Jupiter's Great Red Spot and long-lasting banded storms. Their thick atmospheres and rapid rotation foster intense atmospheric dynamics, so claiming they have less storm activity than Earth misstates the reality of their meteorology.
Option 2: 'Jupiter and Saturn are roughly the same size, but Jupiter is far more dense than Saturn' — This is generally considered true. Jupiter and Saturn are both massive gas giants, with radii that are not identical but comparable; Jupiter is indeed more massive, and it has a greater average density than Saturn (though both have low densities relative to terrestrial planets). The phrase 'roughly the same size' is acceptable in a broad comparison, and the density contrast is accurate, making this statement true overall.
Option 3: 'Jupiter is more massive than all the other planets put together' — This is true. Jupiter contains more mass than all the other planets combined, a well-known fact about the Solar System’s mass distribution.
Option 4: 'Uranus and Neptune look more blue than the other jovians due to their thinner atmosphere' — This is largely true in common descriptions. Their blue color arises from methane in their upper atmospheres, and they have less extensive hydrogen-helium envelopes compared to Jupiter and Saturn, contributing to a bluer appearance. While the term 'thinner atmosphere' is not perfectly precise, the idea that they look bluer due to their atmospheric composition is broadly accurate.
