So, like, if you stand in a gas giant, do you fall or can you stand on top if it even though it’s gas?

The real question i mean to ask is:

If you stand in ur anus, do you just fall in?

    We don’t really know. Personally, I would have to assume there is some kind of solid mass in the center just from the pressure forcing shit together. If gasses are compressed enough, they become solid. But if there is too much pressure, it can become liquid (or, well, fluid?) again; like stars.

    But, also, the pressure is so much, you’d probably float before you were crushed. I can’t imagine that the massive pressure doesn’t also come with massive density.

      Will will be crushed way before you can float.

      I don’t know if anybody actually knows whether you float or not, but there are heavy elements there, so naively, you should float at some point.

      Also i would assume there’s solid stuff like meteors at the center anyway.
