Answer:

hello there

Step-by-step explanation:

Jupiter's mass is 2.5 times greater than all of the other planets' mass combined, which makes the gas giant the most massive planet in our solar system. 87% of this mass is taken up by Jupiter's atmospheric gases hydrogen and helium, with other gases contributing much smaller proportions.
