Jupiter, the first gas giant from the sun. It's clouds are made out of simple gases like hydrogen,helium,carbon dioxide,water and methane,along with clouds of ammonia ice and ammonium hydrosulphide. There are winds up to 600km per hour,travelling in opposite directions which create the distinct bands.

Saturn is composed entirely of hydrogen. The top layer is made up of ammonia crystals and below are ammonium hydrosulphide or water. Beneath the layer of cloud,the pressure is so intense that gas is compressed into a liquid.

Uranus's atmoshere is mostly hydrogen and helium, with small quantities of methane. This allows the planet to be able to absorb the Sun's rays, giving the planets distinct blue colour.

Neptune has no solid surface to land on. It may have a tiny core of rock.Neptune's atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium with traces of methane.

Hydrogen, helium, and methane. They may have solid iron cores because they have magnetic fields.
