The gas planets, in our solar system at least, are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, in order from least to greatest distance from the Sun. They are all found beyond the Asteroid Belt. The gas planets, or "Gas Giants" if you will, are larger and less dense than the other planets. They all have rings and several moons.

What are the planets called located furthest from the sun?
gas giants
Can gas planets have craters?
No. Gas planets do not have solid surfaces.
Which planets are gas planets and why are they called that?
Gas planets are the planets formed with gas - eg earth has a crust so it is a rock planet. But Jupiter is a planet composed of gas so it is a gas planet. Nothing solid at all. The Gas Planets are: Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune
What are the rocky planet and what are the gas planet?
As you should know, there are currently 8 planets. Rocky: Rocky Planets are planets made of hard material. Rocky planets can be another word for inner planets or planets located inside the asteroid belt in the Milky Way Galaxy. The four planets that are rocky is Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Gas: Gas planets are technically planets made of ice, dust, and gas. Gas planets can be another word for outer planets or planets located outside the asteroid belt. The four planets known as the gas planet is Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Hoped that Helped!! However, Shoemaker–Levy comet fragments collided with Jupiter's southern hemisphere between July 16 and July 22, 1994, at a speed of approximately 134,000 mph. The scars from the impacts persisted for many months.... So, some say its a gas giant, but if a comet collided with it, made plumes of ash and soil for 1000s of miles across, well... Seems like it has some surface some people won't accept.
How do the planets in the two groups different?
The first 4 planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are called rock planets, and the last 4, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are the gas planets. The main differences between these two groups are that the rock planets are made of rock, the gas planets are made of gas, the rock planets are typically smaller than the gas planets, and the gas planets have rings.

Why can't gas leave the gas planets?
The gas of the gas planets is kept in place by gravity.
Are the gas planets bigger or smaller than the rocky planets?
the gas planets are bigger than the rocky planets
Can gas planets have craters?
No. Gas planets do not have solid surfaces.

What set of planets have more moons terrestrial or gas?
gas planets
Why do outer planets have gas?
because the outer planets are made of gas.

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 are all the inner gas planets the same?
there are no inner gas planets only outer gas planets but they are the same because they all have rings, they are all made of gas.
