Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Gas Giant. Saturn is a gas-giant planet and therefore does not have a solid surface like Earth’s. But it might have a solid core somewhere in there.

Detailed explanation-2: -More than 30 times as far from the Sun as Earth, Neptune is the only planet in our solar system not visible to the naked eye and the first predicted by mathematics before its discovery. In 2011 Neptune completed its first 165-year orbit since its discovery in 1846.

Detailed explanation-3: -Of the terrestrial planets, Venus, Earth, and Mars have significant atmospheres. The gases present in a planetary atmosphere are related to a planet’s size, mass, temperature, how the planet was formed, and whether life is present.

Detailed explanation-4: -Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are the farthest planets from the sun and are collectively called the gas giants because they are predominantly made up of gases. All of the gas giants have numerous moons or satellites as well as rings.

Detailed explanation-5: -In order of distance from the sun they are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Q.

Detailed explanation-6: -Gas giants, like Jupiter or Saturn in our solar system, are composed mostly of helium and/or hydrogen. Gas giants nearer to their stars are often called “hot Jupiters.” More variety is hidden within these broad categories.
