The Gas Giants Jupiter and Saturn are the largest planets in the Solar
System. Internally they are deep, heavy Hydrogen/Helium atmospheres on
top of dense rock/ice cores without solid surfaces. What we see in our
telescopes are just the tops of the clouds. This lecture describes the
basic properties of the planets: their composition, atmospheres,
weather, and internal structures. Recorded 2007 Nov 14 in 1000
McPherson Lab on the Columbus campus of The Ohio State University.
