【 摘 要 】

The giant planets in our solar system contain clues to the origin of the planets and the conditions that set up terrestrial planet formation. These will be key to also understanding exoplanet systems Comparative study of Giant Planet composition and structure maps gradients in time and space in our protoplanetary disk Jupiter will be well studied after Galileo/Juno, but which of its features (core size, circulation, etc.) are unique vs universal? Cassini will leave remaining knowledge gaps about Saturn that require in situ sampling and are needed to fit into the puzzle of solar system formation
