A
Made up of hydrogen and helium
B
No solid surfaces
C
Rocky surfaces
D
Closer to the sun
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike the terrestrial planets that make up our inner solar system-Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars-the Jovian planets do not have solid surfaces. Instead, they are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, with traces of methane, ammonia, water, and other gases in their atmospheres.

Detailed explanation-2: -The density of Saturn and Jupiter Saturn and Jupiter have attracted as much similar gas as they could, to form two biggest gas giants in our solar system. But they have done things in different ways and caused differences. The first difference is the planets’ densities. Saturn is significantly less dense than Jupiter.

Detailed explanation-3: -A gas giant, on the other hand, stays gaseous because of its size; there is so much heat generated from its spin that it cannot cool down into a solid state.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gas giants are huge compared with Earth, and they do not have solid surfaces. They are big balls of gas. Jupiter and Saturn are composed mostly of hydrogen and helium.
