Half gas half rocky planet

+0
−0

I am envisioning a very big planet that at the equator Is mostly composed of gases. Further away from the equator a crusts forms of matter - rocks that then also contains an ocean. I am still imagining magma forming under the crusts There are continents only at the poles. I am no scientist and don't have a knowledge what sort of dynamics would play here: processes happening, biochemistry, - will the gravity change? How is a core between a rocky planet and gas planet different? Under what conditions can this type of planet exist? Will this be theoretically possible?
