Molecular origins of what we know as life may come from geochemistry of the earth 4.45 billion years ago. Isotopically fractionated graphite in a single zircon crystal indicates possible biochemistry 4.1 bya. These interactions of carbon C12 from the atmosphere with nitrogen N of the earth in water H2O of the oceans make up what we know as life. However the chemistry of planets differ and the atmosphere of Jupiter is intensely active with deep thermal dynamic exchanges with solar radiation comparable to the continuous energy interchanges of life as we know it.
