Post by: Tsync on Feb 10, 2016
Why does the atmosphere of Saturn appear to have only half the helium content of Jupiter?
A) Saturn was formed farther from the helium rich Sun.
B) Because Saturn is so much colder, helium does not show up as strongly in its spectrum.
C) A red dwarf, Jupiter has fused some of its hydrogen into helium, whereas Saturn, a colder planet, has not.
D) Much of Saturn's helium has reacted with water and formed helium oxide.
E) Much of Saturn's helium has differentiated towards its center.
