The inner part has more metals than the outer parts, adding up to a total of between 11 and 30 earth masses, meaning 3\u20139% of Jupiter&#8217;s total mass. This is a high enough metallicity to conclude that kilometer-sized bodies\u2014planetesimals\u2014must have played a role in Jupiter&#8217;s formation.
