Yes to both! Thanks for asking. (If it's not clear, I'm practicing #9 in this response.)

The surface of a gas giant is defined separately from the core, as the article says: "...there is no solid ground, the surface of Jupiter is defined as the point where the atmospheric pressure is equal to that of Earth."

I wouldn't consider a solid core to be a solid surface, though.

This is a semantic distinction, though, at this point we would be arguing about what to call whatever is there, not a disagreement about what is actually there.

Though I'd prefer to distinguish between the core and the "surface" such as it is, I do think there's a reasonable argument to be made that "surface" should be identified as "whatever is solid." The problem with this terminology is that it doesn't really recognize any difference between gas giants and rocky planets, which I'd argue is a useful thing to do.

But, when it comes to what's actually there, I think we agree.

I feel like no one in this thread knows that Jupiter doesn't have a surface.

How is everyone missing that this kid Skyler is gay or bi?

There's no way a straight kid commits to this con this much. He maybe decided op isn't for him and reacted by pulling back, or something, but this kid is just not 100% straight.
