Abstract
Jupiter, owing to its large mass and rapid formation, played a crucial role in shaping the solar system as we know it today. Jupiter mostly contains hydrogen and helium (more than 87% by mass), and as such bears a close resemblance to the Sun. However, the Sun has only 2% of its mass in elements other than hydrogen and helium (the heavy elements), whereas Jupiter has between 3 and 13%. The exact amount of these heavy elements in the planet and their distribution are keys to understanding how the solar system formed.
