Say there is a planet in the range of minineptune/super earth, with a large rocky surface and hydrogen and helium in its atmosphere, which rises upwards, while oxygen remains closer to the ground. Could this result in a calm, life supporting surface with gas giant-type storms far above? If such a planet could exist, is there any possibility that it could host life?
