Detailed explanation-1: -The four gas giants in our solar system are Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter. These are also called the Jovian planets. “Jovian planet” refers to the Roman god Jupiter and was intended to indicate that all of these planets were similar to Jupiter.
Detailed explanation-2: -Uranus (left) and Neptune are classified as ice giant planets because their rocky, icy cores are proportionally larger than the amount of gas they contain. The gas giants-Jupiter and Saturn-contain far more gas than rock or ice.
Detailed explanation-3: -Gas giants are large planets composed mostly of gases, such as hydrogen and helium, with a relatively small rocky core. The gas giants of our solar system-Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune-together make up a group known as the Jovian planets, according to the University of Colorado at Boulder (opens in new tab).
