Do the gas giants have thinner atmosphere than the terrestrial planets?
No. As the name gas giant implies, these planets are made largely of gas. They have extremely thick atmospheres.
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.
What feature separates the rocky planets from the gas planets?
Depth of the atmosphere. Gas planets have the thickest and largest of atmospheres. Below gas planets atmospheres are pools of hydrogen or in some cases volatile ices that form in a giant ocean above the surface. It's estimated that Jupiter's rocky surface is only about the size of three Earths but the bloated atmosphere makes for most of the planet.
What are large spheres made mostly of gases?
Those may be stars, or giant planets (like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune).Those may be stars, or giant planets (like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune).Those may be stars, or giant planets (like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune).Those may be stars, or giant planets (like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune).
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.
Do the gas giants have thinner atmosphere than the terrestrial planets?
No. As the name gas giant implies, these planets are made largely of gas. They have extremely thick atmospheres.
