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: -Uranus is an ice giant (instead of a gas giant). It is mostly made of flowing icy materials above a solid core.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neptune is one of two ice giants in the outer solar system (the other is Uranus). Most (80% or more) of the planet’s mass is made up of a hot dense fluid of “icy” materials – water, methane, and ammonia – above a small, rocky core.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -As a gas giant, Jupiter doesn’t have a true surface. The planet is mostly swirling gases and liquids.
