Gas Giants or Jovians, are the large, low-density outer planets that are usually not made of rock or solid matter. Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus are well-known Jovians. They are mostly composed of gaseous substances, but in the middle of the Gas Giant is a liquid compound, which has some melted metals mixed inside of it. They also tend to revolve around the sun slowly, and because they are outer planets, they are cold. Their massive sizes often attracts many satellites, and some form rings, a common example is Saturn.
