I never thought much about the insides of the gas giants but it's fascinating how the phase transitions are so discrete. I suppose that's to be expected given how phase transitions work. Water to steam is a binary, not a spectrum. But the planets themselves can be put on a spectrum of rocky to gaseous based on how much solid, liquid, and gas comprise them.
