There's no mystery: the giants are bigger, more massive and have stronger gravitational fields. They also all have rings, though only Saturn's is readily visible from the Earth.

Does gas planets have gas moons?

Gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn do not have gas moons in the same way that they have gas atmospheres. Moons are typically rocky or icy bodies that orbit planets, and they are not composed primarily of gases like the planets themselves. So while gas giants have many diverse moons, none are composed entirely of gas.


Why do gas planets have more moons than rocky planets?

Gas planets have mor planets then rocky planets because rocky planets are like earth. Gas planets are just difrent in there own way. If im wrong tell me but im pretty sure that's why. they are larger so the gravity captures more satalites


Are the rocky planets larger or smaller compared to gas giants?

The rocky inner planets are much smaller. That's why the giants are called giants.


What planets are rocky and have no moons?

Mercury and Venus are terrestrial planets, and they are the only major planets without moons.


How are the planets classifications as a terrestrial plaent or gas giant generally related to their densities?

Rocky planets are denser than gas giants.


What do all terrestrial planets have in common?

Terrestrial planets are rocky, have solid surfaces, and are located closer to the sun compared to gas giants. They have thin or no atmospheres, lack rings, and have fewer moons compared to gas giants. Additionally, terrestrial planets are composed of metals and silicate rocks.


Are Jupiter and Saturn rocky planets or gas giants?

Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants, not rocky planets. They are primarily made up of gases like hydrogen and helium and do not have a solid surface like rocky planets such as Earth.


Is it rocky on Neptune?

No, indeed. All of the planets farther out than Mars are gas giants. They are much, much larger than Earth, for instance, and are composed of various gases. There may be a rocky center core in the gas giants, but not on the surface. The moons of most of the gas giants are rocky . . . some have volcanoes - some are covered with ice.


What are the 5 major differences in Gas Giants and Rocky planets?

The five major differences between the gas giant planets and the rocky planets are as follows: 1. Gas giants are larger, both in diameter and in mass. 2. Gas giants have a much larger proportion of hydrogen and other light weight elements. Rocky planets have more rock. 3. Gas giants are farther away from the sun. 4. Gas giants are much colder. 5. Gas giants are made mostly (in some cases, perhaps entirely) of gas, while rocky planets are mostly solid with comparatively little gas. Edit: Here's another, if you want 6 differences: The Gas Giants have extensive systems of moons (and they have rings too).


What do the inner planets consit of?

The inner planets are rocky and the outer planets are gas giants.


How do the four rocky planets compare to the four gas giants in size?

All four rocky planets are much smaller than gas planets.


what did you notice about the inner planet compared to the other planet?

The inner planets are small rocky bodies, whereas the outer planets are gas giants, large balls of gas with ring systems and a large quantity of Moons.
