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.
