density

Answer to Question 2

Oblateness is the degree to which the planet's rotation causes its equator to bulge and poles to flatten. In Jupiter's case, it is more round than it would be, spinning as rapidly as it does, if it were made only of hydrogen and helium gas; it must have a more solid rocky core deep underneath the fluid clouds.
