Q1: What could be the (geological) reason that Mars lost much of its magnetic field? Q2: Which other physical factor may have contributed to the loss of the Martian atmosphere? And why could the gas atoms disappear into interstellar space? Q3 With respect to Jupiter and Saturn, I mentioned a metallic hydrogen layer and you all know that hydrogen is not a metal. So, what is the definition of a metal and how can we apply that to hydrogen? Q4: How can we generate a magnetic field, when there is no Iron-Nickel core of the giant outer planets? Re- examine the previous question. Q5: Asteroids, and comets are considered remnants from the giant cloud of gas and dust that condensed to create the sun, planets, and moons some 4.5 billion years ago. Where did all this dust come from?
