Why are Uranus and Neptune not as large as Jupiter or Saturn?
Uranus and Neptune are not as big as Jupiter and Saturn because in the beginning of the creation of the solar system, there was a big explosion and rocks formed the interior planets and the remaining gas OUTSIDE of the solar system formed the gas and the gas closer to the sun was much greater than the outside. so what i mean is the gas in one section closer to ther sun made Jupiter and the other section didnt have as much gas as the first one, made Saturn. while the other section made uranus and neptune at the same time. which gives different amounts of mass and quantity of each one in the solar system. hope this helps
Myths and legends of planet Neptune?
Neptune was formed around 4.5 billion years ago, along with the other planets in the solar system. Neptune is the fourth largest planet, after Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. Almost identical in size to Uranus, its sister planet, Neptune was formed, along with the other planets, from the primordial Solar Nebula. While the larger planets (Jupiter and Saturn) received the lion's share of the nebula's hydrogen and helium, Uranus and Neptune appear to have received only rock and ice
Is Saturn the only planet that has rings?
Saturn is not the only planet that has a ring system, but it is by far the most prominent. Uranus has a system of five rings (here's a picture) and Jupiter also has two rings (here's another). However, while Saturn's rings are composed of dust particles, the rings around Uranus and Jupiter are primarily composed of an electromagnetic plasma (hot ionized gas!). There are several competing theories for the formation of Saturn's rings. The first is that Saturn's rings are a remnant left over from when the planet was formed. As gas and dust collapses to form a planet it forms a disk that orbits the young planet. Material in this disk gradually falls onto the planet or diffuses away. The rings could be what is left of that initial proto-planetary disk.
Which planets are gas planets and why are they called that?
Gas planets are the planets formed with gas - eg earth has a crust so it is a rock planet. But Jupiter is a planet composed of gas so it is a gas planet. Nothing solid at all. The Gas Planets are: Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune
Why are some planets near the sun and some others far from the sun?
Near (in order from closest to farthest): Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars Far (same order as before): Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Why? I suppose that's just how things worked out when the planets formed from the "protoplanetary disk". The planets have to be spaced apart enough to form stable orbits. Otherwise their mutual gravitational attraction could disrupt their orbits.
What is the history of Neptune?
Neptune was formed around 4.5 billion years ago, along with the other planets in the solar system. Neptune is the fourth largest planet, after Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus. Almost identical in size to Uranus, its sister planet, Neptune was formed, along with the other planets, from the primordial Solar Nebula. While the larger planets (Jupiter and Saturn) received the lion's share of the nebula's hydrogen and helium, Uranus and Neptune appear to have received only rock and ice
What caused Saturn to be only 95 times earths mass?
It is believed that most of the extra gas surrounding the newly formed sun went into forming Jupiter, leaving less available for Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

How many planets are made out of gas?
Technically, all of them since they formed out of our solar nebula. Some have a higher content of light gas materials than others notably Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

From a scientific point of view what is the origin of earth?
The earth formed roughly 5 billion years ago out of the huge accretion disk of dust gas and rubble that formed around the sun. It is theorized that solar winds blew most of the gases farther out from the sun, leaving more rocky materials to coalesce into the inner planets. The gases formed the gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
What planets are formed by ice?
The planets formed by ice would be Jupiter and Saturn!!......I think.............;)
Why do Jupiter Uranus Saturn have so many moons?
Because they are so large, they have a large amount of gravity. As the Solar System was forming, they collected lots of dust clouds and all. Then, moons formed.
The characteristics of the solar system?
It is formed by 8 planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth,Marth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uran and Neptune. it is inside of the Milky way and more characteristics ok byee byee
Which planet was formed from the light gases of the outer solar nebula?
Saturn
