It is not the gas giant. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all traditionally referred to as gas giants. More recently, however, it has been found that Uranus and Neptune belong to a different class of planet called ice giants. Unlike gas giants, which are mostly hydrogen and helium, ice giants have interiors made of compressed water, ammonia, and methane.
