Some parts of the accretion model of the Jovian planets' formation are studied in the context of Palatini gravity. We mainly focus on the critical core mass, that is, a mass for which there is no hydrostatic equilibrium solution for the planet's envelope, which is a starting point for the runaway accretion. We also discuss the conditions a planet needs to satisfy such that it can possess a massive gaseous envelope around a solid core.
