The Atmospheres of the Giant Planets
Abstract
IN their article on the atmospheres of the giant planets1 Drs. A. Adel and V. M. Slipher suggest that a predominantly hydrocarbon structure might not be at all unlikely for these planets; this conclusion is also indicated, in their opinion, by the fact that the mean densities of these celestial bodies are in a class with densities of most organic liquids.
