The four outer planets in our solar system share the same general description of having a small rocky core and a relatively large outer envelope of gas - hence the name gas giant, although this term is more applicable to Jupiter and Saturn, whereas Uranus and Neptune are often called ice giants, due to the presence of ices in their atmosphere.
