Gas giant
:


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 SystemJupiterSaturnUranus, 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 waterammonia 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.
