Giant planet
A giant planet is any massive planet . They are usually primarily composed of low-boiling-point materials ( gases or ices), rather than rock or other solid matter, but massive solid planets can also exist. There are four known giant planets in the Solar System : Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus and Neptune . Many extrasolar giant planets have been identified orbiting other stars .

A gas giant (sometimes also known as a Jovian planet after the planet Jupiter , or giant planet ) is a large planet that is not primarily composed of rock or other solid matter. There are four gas giants in the Solar System : Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus and Neptune . However, astronomers sometimes categorize Uranus and Neptune as " ice giants ", in order to emphasize the differences in composition between them and larger gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. [1] [2] Many extrasolar gas giants have been identified orbiting other stars . |

A gas giant (sometimes also known as a jovian planet after the planet Jupiter , or giant planet ) is a large planet that is not primarily composed of rock or other solid matter. There are two gas giants in the Solar System : Jupiter and Saturn . The other two giant planets, Uranus and Neptune , are not gas giants but ice giants . Many extrasolar gas giants have been identified orbiting other stars . |

A gas giant (sometimes also known as a Jovian planet after the planet Jupiter ) is a large planet that is not primarily composed of rock or other solid matter . There are four gas giants in our Solar System ; Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus , and Neptune . Uranus and Neptune may be considered a separate subclass of giant planets, 'ice giants', as they are mostly composed of ice , rock, as well as gases of water , ammonia and methane , unlike the "traditional" gas giants Jupiter or Saturn . However, they share the same qualities of the lack of the solid surface; their differences stem from the fact that their proportion of hydrogen and helium is lower. |

There are four gas giants in our solar system : Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus , and Neptune . Uranus and Neptune may be considered as a separate subclass of giant planets, 'ice giants', or 'Uranian planets', as they are mostly composed of ice , rock as well as gases of water , ammonia and methane , unlike the "traditional" gas giants Jupiter or Saturn. However, they share the same qualities of the lack of the solid surface; their differences stem from the fact that their proportion of hydrogen and helium is lower, due to their greater distance from the Sun. |

A gas giant is a large planet that is not composed mostly of rock or other solid matter . Gas giants may still have a rocky or metallic core—in fact, it is expected that such a core is probably required for a gas giant to form—but the majority of its mass is in the form of gas (or gas compressed into a liquid state). Unlike rocky planets, gas giants do not have a well-defined surface. Terms like diameter, surface area, volume, surface temperature and surface density may refer to the outermost layer visible from outside, e.g. from the Earth. |
