A gas giant (sometimes also known as a Jovian planet after the planet Jupiter, or giant planet) is a large planet that is not primarily composed of solid matter. There are four gas giants in the Solar System: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

The four outer, or gas planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are mainly made up of Hydrogen and Helium gas.

There are four actually. Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus are all "gas giants".

In our solar system, the three planets with the lowest densities are Saturn (0.7 g/cm3), Uranus (1.3 g/cm3), and Jupiter (1.33 g/cm3).

Name the two models of thesolar system and expain the difference between them?

There are the gas giant planets (Jovian planets) and the rocky planets (Terrestrial planets).Terrestrial planets comprise Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.They are mainly composed with solid rocks.They have little or no atmosphere.They are found close to the Sun in the warmer region of the Solar System.They are relatively small in size.They have few or no moons.They do not have ring systems (like Saturn).Jovian planets comprise Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.They are composed of thick gaseous atmospheres with liquid interiors. Nothing can land on them.They have thick atmospheres.They are found far from the Sun in the colder region of the Solar System.They are very large in size.They have many moons.They do possess ring systems.Minor comment: It's nice to see "comprise" used properly.


How does the conversion of water to a gaseous state contrast to the conversion of many compounds?

Large amounts of energy are expended


Are bricks a good why to insulate your house?

Most bricks are relatively high density, and also generally good heat conductors, and thus poor insulators. That is why they feel cool to the touch at room temperature. Some houses are constructed with hollow bricks. Air is a relatively good insulator, but suffers from convection so large air spaces are only moderately good insulators. Adding foam to the air spaces would be better. Kilns often use a porous insulating firebrick that resembles pumice, and is actually a relatively good insulator.

Does a large piece of wood have a greater density than a small piece of wood?

The larger piece will probably have more mass than the smaller one. But if the wood is of the same type and "all things are equal" as regards moisture content, sap content, etc., the density of both pieces of wood will be the same. Density does not depend on the size of a sample. Density is mass per unit of volume. If a large gold nugget and a small gold nugget are compared, the larger nugget will have more mass, but both nuggets will have the same density.

When a substance has a large density a mass fits into a volume?

"large density" ===> (relatively large mass) fits into (relatively small volume)


Are the planets that have a higher density the Terrestrial planets or the Jovian planets?

The Terrestrial planets have a higher density. Their structure includes a large percentage of rock, while the Jovian planets are composed mostly of gas.

Why are gaseous planets larger than rocky planets like earth?

Planets which began in dense matter regions have greater mass, and are able to hold onto their large, deep atmospheres of light gases like hydrogen and helium. (Jupiter's diameter is mostly atmosphere, while Earth's atmosphere is relatively shallow at about 1% of its diameter.)


What are characteristics of the outer planets?

Which is true about gas giants?

They are pretty large. They are mostly gaseous, without a large metallic core Their atmospheres are very thick. They have several moons. That's not really a feature of gas giant planets, but very massive planets in general.
