How many planets were known to the Greeks?
These are the classical planets, those that you can see without a telescope. These are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. they could be seen to be different to the stars, since they changed positions gradually in relation to the other stars (as they orbit the sun)

Yes because they are rocky planets and the outer planets are known as the gas planets.
What are the four gas giant planets?
In our solar system, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are the four (known) gas giant planets. Beyond our solar system, probably the vast majority of the 4000+ planets discovered by the Kepler Space Telescope are probably gas giants, because those are the easiest to detect from interstellar distances. Which doesn't mean that there aren't just as many small rocky planets; just that we can't see them as easily with the Kepler Telescope.
