Not really. There is a small solid core, but it's nothing like a planetary surface as we usually think of them. It is under an enormous pressure caused by the mass of gas that makes up the bulk of the planet. We could never go there bodily, and we don't have nearly the technology or engineering to develop a useful probe that could. We don't call it a gas giant for nothing. no.

Jupiter does not have a solid surface like Earth. It is a gas giant composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, with no distinct solid or liquid surface. Instead, its outer layers gradually transition into a dense, metallic hydrogen layer deep within the planet.

no because it is a old planet

--------------------------

Age has nothing to do with its mass and composition.

At this time, scientists believe that Jupiter is a gas giant and is entirely made up of gas. This means, we currently believe there is no surface (or solids) on Jupiter. (Except for the occasional asteroid that strikes it and gets slowly pulverized?)

The atmosphere is approximately 75% hydrogen and 24% helium by mass, with the remaining one percent of the mass consisting of other elements.

The interior contains denser materials such that the distribution is roughly 71% hydrogen, 24% helium and 5% other elements by mass. -XX3

No, Jupitar is a giant planet made up mostly of gases. The rings around Jupiter are made up of bits of asteroids that have broken apart and drifted into orbit around it.

No. It is one of the gas giants. It might have a solid core, though.
