How do the atmospheres of gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn differ from those of terrestrial planets?

I wonder what will happen to a human being set foot on this gas giant planet. Will we burn or freeze?

Answer 1

The atmospheres are mostly hydrogen and helium gas. There is no real surface to speak of. As you move closer to the core, the pressure increases and it eventually becomes solid. The pressure at that point is so high that nothing really survives anyway
