Gas giants have many more moons than terrestrial planets due to have higher?
Gas giants have a higher mass. This means that the gas giants have a more gravity to hold moons in orbit around them.
What are two ways that planets are different from stars?
1) Although planets can be composed primarily of rock or gas, only stars are objects made of gas that are massive enough to support a nuclear fusion reaction. 2) Although planets and stars can orbit stars (as in binary systems), stars never orbit planets.
What are some ways that stars and planets are similar?
Planets and stars are similar:FEW OF THE WAYS ARE :Both the stars and planets moveThey are celestial objectsThey are studied by astronomers
What planets are the giants?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are the gas giants of our solar system.
A sentence for gas giants?
A sentence for gas giants is: There are four gas giants in the solar system, which are Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, and Uranus. Another sentence is: The gas giants are mainly composed of various different gases.
Which gas giants orbit is crossed by a dwarf planet?

How are inner planets and gas giants similar?
they orbit the sun and are the first four outer planets
Why are the moons of the gas giants not consideres to be planets?
Because to be planets they have to be in a direct orbit round the Sun.
Are planets made out of stars?
No. Planets are objects made of some combination of rock, gas, and/or metal that orbit stars.
Where is plasma most commonly found in the universe?
In stars and large gas giants.

What do you call the very large star?
Some of the largest stars are called gas giants.
Is a galaxy a hot planet?
No. A galaxy is an enormous cluster of stars, gas, dust, and the planets, asteroids, and comets that orbit those stars.
What is bigger than all the terrestrial planets?
Gas giants like Jupiter and stars like our Sun.
Which planets are composed more of gas and liquids and solids?
We know that the so-called gas giants, those planets outside Mars orbit, are mostly gas. (Remember that Pluto got demoted; it's no longer a planet.) Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune complete the roster of the gas giants.
