Question

Deep in the interiors of the giant planets, water is still a liquid even though the temperatures are tens of thousands of degrees above the boiling point of water. This can happen because:

Answer 1

Due to the extremely large pressure and temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

The Jovian planets are larger than the terrestrial planets and are comprised of a metallic hydrogen layer in its interior portion. This layer of metallic hydrogen is observed to be present in Jupiter and Saturn, where the hydrogen behaves as a liquid. This fluid hydrogen is generated due to the extremely large pressure and temperature condition, in such a way that the electrons present in these hydrogen atoms can move freely between these atoms. Due to this, the layer experiences high electrical conductivity like the one, seen in the case of molten metals.

Thus, there occurs the liquid metallic hydrogen in the interior of the large Jovian planets though the interior of these planets has an extremely high temperature.

Answer 2

The pressure inside the giant planets is so high.

Step-by-step explanation:

The giant planets or the Jovian planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus.

The study of the deep interior of these giant planets is difficult and this is due to the compressed pressure of Helium and Hydrogen gases that is at the deep center of these planets. But Uranus and Neptune also have water, ammonia and methane composition in them which makes them an ice giants also.

The water inside these planets is still in liquid form because of the compressed pressure these gases which is high.
