Why would the gas giants be made of gas when they are so cold?
The gas giants are composed of hydrogen and helium, which can remain in a gaseous state at extremely low temperatures, even lower than thous found in the atmospheres of the gas giants. In reality, though, most of the volume of the gas giants is not gas. Deep within the atmospheres of these planets the enormous pressure renders the hydrogen and helium into a supercritical state, which is characteristics between those of a liquid and a gas. Even deeper the hydrogen enters an exotic metal-like state. The interiors of the gas giants are very hot.
Which two planets are mostly composed of methane and nitrogen?
The two planets that are mostly composed of methane and nitrogen are Uranus and Neptune. These gas giants have thick atmospheres made up primarily of methane and nitrogen, with smaller amounts of other gases such as hydrogen and helium.
What two gases do gas giants consist primarily?
hydrogen and helium
What is the two main gases on Saturn and their percentages?
Saturn is considered to be one of the "gas giants" of our solar system. The two primary gasses are Hydrogen and Helium.
What do all gas giants have that terrestrial plants do not have?

They have a large mass, and they have rings.Gas giants have enormous atmospheres, it may be said they consist only of atmosphere.

What does Jupiter and Saturn and neptune and uranus have in coment?
They have rings, but the main characteristic is that they are all gas giants, massive planets with extremly thick atmospheres composed mostly of hydrogen and helium.

What 2 types of planets can be found in your solar system?
The solar system consist of terrestrial planets, which are primarily composed of silicate rocks, and gas giants, which are primarily composed of gases such as hydrogen and helium and liquid forms of those gasses.However, new terminology has split the gas giants into two separate divisions.Gas giants: Jupiter and SaturnIce giants: Uranus and Neptune.Time to update your teacher on astronomy!
The atmosphere of the gas giants is made of hydrogen and?
mainly composed of hydrogen and helium
What are the kinds of planets like Jupiter Saturn and Neptune?
Jupiter and Saturn are called gas giants. They are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, with some water in various physical states. Uranus and Neptune are called ice giants. They are composed of heavier elements and less helium and hydrogen than the gas giants.

Gas giants tend to differ from terrestrial planets in that gas giants are?
Primarily composed of gas. They have no solid surface. However this is currently in contention... Jupiter may have a surface of Hydrogen metal... but our current technology cannot determine this.
Which gases are found in the atmosphere of the gas giants?
Hydrogren and helium
