Antonelli - the gas giants that rim our system are, although wholly alien to our experience, actually quite similar constructions.
As humans, we have an anthropocentric viewpoint - we see ourselves as land-dwellers, up top on the surface, with the seas down, somewhere beneath us when we paddle at the beach.
But then, we breathe air from an atmosphere of gas - in essence, we are no different to lobsters or flat fish, lying at the bottom of a gaseous ocean. It's all a question of density gradients, and we live somewhere in the middle of Earth's.
