A curious fact about the structure of the planet Jupiter, compared to that of Earth, is that it has - much greater mass but much lower average density. A good example of a positive feedback effect in global warming is that melting sea ice causes a decrease in the Earth's albedo, meaning we absorb more sunlight than ever.
