Detailed explanation-1: -The four gas giants in our solar system are Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter.

Detailed explanation-2: -The four outer planets-Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune-are all gas giants made primarily of hydrogen and helium. They have thick gaseous outer layers and liquid interiors.

Detailed explanation-3: -A gas giant is a large planet mostly composed of helium and/or hydrogen. These planets, like Jupiter and Saturn in our solar system, don’t have hard surfaces and instead have swirling gases above a solid core.

Detailed explanation-4: -The gas planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are the furthest planets from the Sun. They each have many moons. They are much bigger than the rocky planets.

Detailed explanation-5: -The temperature of the early solar system explains why the inner planets are rocky and the outer ones are gaseous. As the gases coalesced to form a protosun, the temperature in the solar system rose. In the inner solar system temperatures were as high as 2000 K, while in the outer solar system it was as cool as 50 K.
