Scientific paper

The condensed matter physics of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and the terrestrial planetary cores are reviewed briefly. The deep interiors of Jupiter and Saturn consist of fluid, metallic hydrogen; in Jupiter the metallic hydrogen is mixed with helium, while in Saturn the incomplete solubility of helium may cause unmixing and energy release. In the interiors of Uranus and Neptune, the fluid mixture (of hydrogen, helium, water, methane, and ammonia) is metallic or ionic. The terrestrial planetary cores are predominantly metallic iron.
