Why does Jupiter atmosphere does not get thinner on edges Looking at Jupiter image   the atmosphere edge of planet is very sharp as if it has solid surface which is not as it’s gases giant and there should be some thinning of atmosphere like we see around earth . Or there and could be seen on higher resolution images?
Why does Jupiter's atmosphere not get thinner at the edges?
Looking at an image of the atmosphere's edge it is very sharp as if it has a solid surface, which it has not since it’s a gas giant. There should be some thinning of the atmosphere like we see around Earth. Would this be seen on higher resolution images?

When you look at a spherical object from a distance it appears round, sometimes when you view it from close up it doesn't appear quite so smooth (or round). The wavelength that you look at an object with also affects what you are able to see.

The above scanning electron microscope image of a smoothly ground ball bearing illustrates this, from a relatively far distance it appears smooth; from much closer the particles constituting its makeup become visible.

A similar principle applies to viewing Jupiter from so far away. While its clouds are far greater than 2000 km thick most of the gases are opaque thus not allowing you to see very far into the atmosphere using visible light.

The last two images are from: &quot;NASA's Juno Mission Provides Infrared Tour of Jupiter's North Pole&quot;, there is also a close-up video flythrough of the atmosphere created from infrared imaging. A second video on that webpage, titled: &quot;Jupiter's Dynamo&quot;, shows magnetometer imaging overlaid on visible spectrum imaging.
