Gas giants get denser with time. They’re, by definition, mostly made of gas. And gas significantly expands or contracts based on temperature. I’m sure a terrestrial planet like Earth shrinks slightly as it’s cooled from its founding, but nothing compared to a gas giant. Jupiter was much hotter earlier on. So as it cooled, it became less puffed up.
I see. Its core temperature is closer to a planet than a brown dwarf I guess. Though I have found this. Well, space is amazing.
