The Jovian Planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The word "Jovian" means: "things that are similar to Jove". Jove, in Roman mythology, was another name for Jupiter, the chief god.

The Outer/Jovian planets are as follows:

  • Jupiter
  • Saturn
  • Uranus
  • Neptune

Pluto is not included anymore. (and never was; too small and dense)
