Atmospheric pressure changes based on altitude, so there's probably some point where Jupiter's atmosphere that's a similar pressure and temperature to earth.
I looked it up, and the region of Jupiter's atmosphere at 1 bar is -100C. So you theoretically you could fly a modified Earth plane, it would just be a bit chilly.
Interestingly, though, Venus does have a zone with Earth-like temperature and pressure.
Thanks! I did a quick search and couldn’t find it but I know that with this crowd I’ll get an answer!
What makes cold temperatures a problem on earth is ice forming frombwater wapour in the atmosphere. No idea what you're likely to get on titan, but probably not that.
