Detailed explanation-1: -In our solar system, gas giants are much bigger than terrestrial planets, and they have thick atmospheres full of hydrogen and helium. On Jupiter and Saturn, hydrogen and helium make up most of the planet, while on Uranus and Neptune, the elements make up just the outer envelope.
Detailed explanation-2: -At larger masses, the planet’s ocean boils and the atmosphere becomes a dense mixture of steam and hydrogen and helium. When a planet reaches a few times the mass of Earth, the atmosphere will grow rapidly, faster than the solid part of the planet, eventually forming a gas giant planet like Jupiter.
Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Gas giants/Jovian planets are also called the outer planets, they are made of gases, they are large and less dense, more moons. Terrestrial/Rocky planets are also called the inner planets. They are made of rocky surface, denser than Jovians, and small, little or no moons.
