The four gas giants are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. These are the four outer planets. They are very similar to each other. They are all made of frozen, slushy gases, and are much larger than the inner planets. (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) They do not have hard surfaces, and are so far away from the sun, that turning on a flashlight for more that two seconds would be more light than Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune would see in a thousand years. Jupiter is so large, that it obstructs the light of the other planets. There is an asteroid belt in-between the gas giants and the terrestrial planets, marking clearly where the gas giants begin, and the terrestrials begin.
