For what reason did the inner planets not collect gas like the gas giants did?
The inner planets did not collect gas like the gas giants did because of their closeness to the Sun. The high temperatures allow for rocky, solid surfaces to form.
How are the four gas giants similar?
They are all similar to one another because they all are big and made mainly of gas and have rings and lots of moons. (Some of the "gas" is in liquid form.)
True or false none of the gas giants has a solid surface but all have a solid core?
True. Edit: Unfortunately, even today, we can't be sure about the cores of the gas giants.
How many planets are not solid?
4 planets in our solar system are not solid, and are commonly referred to as the Gas Giants.
Another name for the inner planets?
The outer planets are also called Jovian planets or gas giants. These planets include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. These outer planets are gaseous with no solid surfaces and only liquid cores.
What are the outer planets like?
they are called gas giants they have no solid surfaces and are big
Are the surfaces of the largest planets solid?
No, they lack a solid material, so that is why they are otherwise known as gas giants.
Does a gas giant planet have craters?
No. Gas giants do not have solid surfaces, so there is nothing for a crater to form on.
What are the mian characteristic of the gas giants?
they are much larger and more massive than earth and they do not have solid surfaces.
For what reason did the inner planets not collect gas like the gas giants did?
The inner planets did not collect gas like the gas giants did because of their closeness to the Sun. The high temperatures allow for rocky, solid surfaces to form.
Does Neptune have canyons?
No. Neptune is a gas giant, it is composed entirely of gas. Gas giants do not have any solid surfaces or plate activity. Therefore it is impossible for surface features such as mountains to form.
Can gas planets have craters?
No. Gas planets do not have solid surfaces.
How are the four gas giants similar?
They are all similar to one another because they all are big and made mainly of gas and have rings and lots of moons. (Some of the "gas" is in liquid form.)
How are uranus and neptune different from the other gas planets?
Because since they are so far away from the sun, the gases on their surfaces are frozen solid. They are definitely gas giants, but are also made of ice. Some people may even call them ice giants
Do none of the gas giants have a solid surface but all have a solid core?
They're called gas giants because of this fact.
What characteristics do the four gas giants have in common?
All the gas giants have rings and no solid rocky cores.
Why is the word surface not included in the statistics for the gas giants?
Because gas giants don't have a solid surface.
