      Jupiter is composed primarily of gaseous (hydrogen and helium like in stars) and liquid matter.

      Binuraj is correct Jupiter is mostly made of hydrogen. It was thought that Jupiter might have a solid core but the Juno mission, in 2016, found that Jupiter has a very diffuse, partially dissolved core that mixes into the mantle.
