Types of energy

Which of the following is an example of Kinetic Energy?

• A battery
• A moving skateboard
• A stretched rubber band
• A lit candle

Answer explanation

Jupiter is a gas giant made primarily of hydrogen and helium. Unlike terrestrial planets that have solid surfaces, gas giants like Jupiter don't have a well-defined solid surface, allowing them to accumulate more mass in a gaseous form. This composition has allowed Jupiter to grow significantly larger than planets with solid surfaces.
