MadotsukiHow comes that both the gas giants and inner rocky planets feature a magnetic field despite being built so differently? I assume the gas giants don't have an interior iron core or smth like that

And then into the darkness of space. That's where the gas giants live. These are four more planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Jupiter and Saturn are composed of hydrogen and helium. Neptune and Uranus, however, are made of ice. These two planets, Neptune and Uranus, are also considered ice giants.

Adamas NemesisInside the ice giants, a layer exists of familiar rains and snows...and often at a pressure range that wouldn't require spacesuits! Could these planets harbor environments that are shockingly Earth-like?

Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬#Saturn's mega-storms challenge planetary formation models
Scientists are reassessing theories of how #gasgiants form after observing that fallout from Saturn's cyclical mega storms can last for centuries. Observations dating as far back as 1876 have shown that visible storms lurk beneath Saturn's normally calm outer atmosphere., leaving long-lasting impacts and raising lots of scientific questions https://www.theregister.com/2023/08/15/saturn_storms_challenges_planet_models/

<i>Oscillations in internal fluid layers of planets, moons and stars</i>
Oscillations in internal fluid layers play an important role in the dynamics and evolution of planets, moons and stars. In these objects, the Coriolis force supports the existence of inertial waves, while buoyancy gives rise to internal gravity waves. When a magnetic field is present, magnetic Alfvén waves can also exist. In realistic situations, all these types of motion combine to produce complex oscillations. While inertial (Rossby) and internal gravity waves were initially described in the context of atmospheric and oceanic science, they are also a long-standing subject of study in the Earthâs liquid core and in the subsurface oceans of icy moons. Inertial waves have also been recently identified in Sun's convective envelope and are cited as an important ingredient in gas giants' dynamics. This interdisciplinary session aims to bring together scientists from the Earth, Solar, and planetary communities to synergistically consolidate our collective knowledge of these phenomena.
