The composition of Jupiter and Saturn are mostly helium and hydrogen with trace amounts of hydrogen compounds such as methane, ammonia and water. Neptune and Uranus consist mostly of methane, ammonia and water, with small amounts of elemental hydrogen and helium. Jupiter is thought to have no definite core, while Saturn is thought to have a dense core of iron, nickel, silicon and oxygen compounds. Neptune is thought to have a core of molten rock (as well as water, hydrogen, helium, ammonia, and methane). Uranus is thought to have a core similar to Saturn's.

What are outer planets made off?

I think you mean of? Anyways if so, they are made up of gases. Only the outer planets are able to have gases because its cool enough there. Inner planets get more sun so its too warm for gas planets in the inner part. Hope this helped.
