SOLAR SYSTEM

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: -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).

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

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

Detailed explanation-5: -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-6: -Neptune, like Uranus, is an ice giant. It’s similar to a gas giant. It is made of a thick soup of water, ammonia, and methane flowing over a solid core about the size of Earth. Neptune has a thick, windy atmosphere.

Detailed explanation-7: -Uranus is an ice giant (instead of a gas giant). It is mostly made of flowing icy materials above a solid core.
