Is it just me, or is it super unnerving to see a picture like this, and know that there is no actual ground beneath those 'clouds'?

The "new" definition is "a planet is a body that orbits the Sun, is massive enough for its own gravity to make it round, and has 'cleared its neighbourhood' of smaller objects around its orbit."[the last two were where Pluto fell out]
In terms of Mass, Jupiter actually has a larger mass than ALL other planets combined (2.5x to be precise), even though it's 'just' Gas.
