What 2 gases are Jovian planets mostly made of?
Hydrogen and Helium.
What are the main constituents of the jovian planets?
The Jovian Planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The word "Jovian" means: "things that are similar to Jove". Jove, in Roman mythology, was another name for Jupiter, the chief god.The Outer/Jovian planets are as follows:JupiterSaturnUranusNeptunePluto is not included anymore. (and never was; too small and dense)
What gases do Jovian planets contain?
The Jovian planets, or "Gas Giants" are not all comprised of the same gases. The Traditional Jovian planets, Jupiter and Saturn, contain mostly hydrogen and helium with other heavy elements making about 3 to 10 percent of its mass. The structure contains an outer layer of molecular hydrogen, over a layer of "metallic" hydrogen that can actually conduct electricity due to the immense pressure it's under. Uranus and Neptune are considered a subclass of Gas Giants called "Ice Giants", because they are made up primarily by water, ammonia, and methane, along with a bit of hydrogen and helium in it's outer atmosphere. The hydrogen and the iced water, ammonia, and methane of these planets are what gives the Ice Giants their rich aquamarine and baby blue color.
What are two differences between Jovian planets and Terrestial planets?
The gas giants ("Jovian planets") are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Unlike the terrestrial planets, these planets:Are quite a bit largerConsist mainly of gasDon't have a surface on which you might standContain more hydrogen and helium, and less of the heavier elementsHave a lower density
Is Uranus a terrestrial or Jovian planet?
it is a Jovian planet. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all Jovian, while Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are terrestrial planets.
What elelments are on Jovian planets?
Hydrogen and helium are the primary elements on those planets.
The jovian planets contain a large percentage of the gases?
Hydrogen and Helium
What 2 gases are Jovian planets mostly made of?
Hydrogen and Helium.
The Jovian planets are made up of what?
Jupiter and Saturn - HYDROGEN and HELIUMUranus and Neptune - Water, Ammonia and Methane.

The jovian planets are thought to have formed as gravity drew hydrogen and helium gas around planetesimals made of?
Rocks, Metals, and Ices
The Jovian planets are more massive but less dense than the terrestrial planets?
Yes, the large and more massive outer planets are made mainly from Hydrogen and Helium. They are less dense than the smaller terrestrial planets.

Why are the outer planets called jovian planet?
When the planets were beginning to form the strong solar wind of the young sun blew most of the hydrogen and helium out of the inner solar system. Some scientists believe that Jupiter, being the innermost of the gas giants, captured much of this outgoing gas, adding it to its mass.
What kind of gas do these planets have?
well the gasses in planets are hydrogen,methane and helium
