Gas giants all share the same characteristic. 1.) they are composed of hydrogen and helium, and they may contain some methane (Uranus is a planet that contains methane, also the reason why it has a blue-green appearance) so there is a possibility that some of the gas giants contain methane. It is technically the reason why they are called gas giants.

∙ 13y agoSome planets are rocky - terrestrial, others are gas giants some are ice giants.
Within the Solar System - Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are terrestrial, whereas Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants and Uranus and Neptune are ice giants.

∙ 9y agoThey all have Methane gas in them and they're very big (this is why they're called Gas Giants).
They also have many moons, cold temperatures, and have less gravitational pull.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoThey have different rotations, different distances from the sun and earth. Different amount of moons, gases, and temperatures.
Hope this helps!! :)

∙ 9y agoGas giants are planets that are very large and found at the outer end of the solar system. They are not made of rock or other solids, rather their surfaces are gas based.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agothe way the outer gas planets are similar to each other is that their all made out of gas and the rocky inner planets are made out of rock .
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoBecause, as Galileo discovered, the moons revolve around the planet in the same way as planets revolve around the Sun.

∙ 14y agothe fact is gas and not solid

What other planets has analogy similar to Jupiter?
All of the gas giant planets are similar: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. They differ mainly in size and the concentration of certain gases in their atmospheres.
Which twin planet is mostly made of gas?
Uranus and Neptune, which are fairly similar in size and composition, have sometimes been referred to as twin planets to each other, and are mostly gas (although both are believed to have a rocky core).
Which planets have densities similar to earth?
The four inner, terrestrial or rocky planets all have similar densities, much higher than the four outer gas giant planets (though the outer planets are much larger and more massive).
What kind of planets are Earth and Mars?
Earth and Mars, along with Mercury and Venus, are rocky planets.
How many planets in the solar system have ring?
4, all the big planets have rings. Saturn,Uranus,Jupiter,and Neptune.FourFour of the planets in the solar system have rings. The 4 gas planets have rings which are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and, Neptune. It was not until 1970 that the gas planets had rings. The rings on Saturn are a lot brighter then the other gas planets
What are the outer planets and how are they similar?
The outer planets are the planets that are made of gas. Each of the outer planets are mad of gas and can not hold life.
How the inner planets are similar to each other?
The four inner planets are all made of rock or are rock based but the four outer planets are all made of gas or gas based.
How are gas giant planets and terrestrial planets similar?
They are are not similar.
How are the outer planets similar?
Other than Pluto, they are all made of gas.
How are gas giant similar to each other?
Gas made out of helium and hydrogen
What other planets has analogy similar to Jupiter?
All of the gas giant planets are similar: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. They differ mainly in size and the concentration of certain gases in their atmospheres.
Which twin planet is mostly made of gas?
Uranus and Neptune, which are fairly similar in size and composition, have sometimes been referred to as twin planets to each other, and are mostly gas (although both are believed to have a rocky core).
Which planets gas might be close to the amount on earth?
If by gas you mean an atmosphere, there are no planets with an atmosphere anywhere similar to Earth.
How are the inner and outer planets different from each other?
Well, the inner planets are not made up of gas like Saturn and Jupiter but Neptune and Uranus are surrounded by the gas giant
How are inner planets and gas giants similar?
they orbit the sun and are the first four outer planets
Are earthquakes possible on other planets?
Yes, but only on SOLID planets, not on gas planets.
What planets where made from gas?
Each of the four outer gas planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are made mainly from Hydrogen and Helium gas.
