Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The four gas giants in our solar system are Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter. These are also called the Jovian planets.
Detailed explanation-2: -The four planets farthest from the Sun are the outer planets. These planets are much larger than the inner planets and are made primarily of gases and liquids, so they are also called gas giants or Jovian planets.
Detailed explanation-3: -Pioneer’s 10 and 11 found evidence that the planet itself is composed almost entirely of liquid hydrogen and that there likely is no real interface between the atmosphere and surface. Jupiter’s rocky core lies well below the “surface” and is very hot (around 36, 000 degrees F.)
