The four Jovian planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
They are all giant gas planets, meaning that they are not only outstandingly giant planets, but also that they are not mainly composed of solid matters such as rock, but of gas!
The Romans named the planet Jove/Jupiter, the name of one of their mythological gods. The word Jovian is the adjective form of Jove.
And the planet Jove/Jupiter is by far the biggest (or 'god'!) of all the Jovian planets!
