Anyone who doesn't read science fiction is leading a stunted existence. (It doesn't have to be mine.)

I'll give you an example: A friend was complaining that she couldn't seem to control her girth.

"Some days, it seems the only exercise I get is hauling my bulk around!" She lamented.

"Yes ..." I sympathized, "but just think how skinny you could be if you only weighed more!"



*Hint: The surface gravity of Neptune is 110% that of Earth.*

Neptune doesn't have a surface. None of the Jovian planets do.

Jupiter and Saturn have an atmosphere containing mostly Hydrogen--as you descend pressure slowly liquefies it and eventually gives the liquefied H metallic properties.

Uranus and Neptune have a mix of Hydrogen, Helium, and methane. Their mantles are water-based.

Pluto doesn't fit into the mix, but still has three moons nonetheless.
