The gas giants are important because their strong gravity draws in many large asteroids before they can hit earth.
What else can I help you with?
Is there wind on the gas giants?
Yes. The winds of the gas giants are far faster than thos on Earth.
Is earth a rocky planet surrounded by gas giants?
NO
How does the composition of earths atmosphere differ from the composition of the atmospheres of the gas giants planets?
The Gas Giants have a deep gas atmosphere and earth have a not so deep atmosphere
How does the composition of Earths atmosphere different from the composition of the atmosphere of the gas giants planets?
The Gas Giants have a deep gas atmosphere and earth have a not so deep atmosphere
Are planets mostly made out of gas?
Some are (the gas giants), but the others, like Earth, are not.
Is Earth a gas giant?
Earth is a rocky planet because the gas giants are in the outer planets and earth is in the inner planet.
How does the distances of earth from Sun compare to the distance of the gas giants from the sun?
The closest gas giant, Jupiter, is about 5 AU from the Sun - that is, 5 times the distance from Sun to Earth. The other gas giants are farther away.
Is earth hotter than than the gas giants?
No, Earth is not hotter than the gas giants. The gas giants, such as Jupiter and Saturn, have extremely high temperatures in their deep atmospheres due to the immense pressure and heat generated by their massive size and gravitational compression. In contrast, Earth's average surface temperature is much cooler, typically around 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit). However, Earth can experience higher surface temperatures than some of the outer layers of gas giants, but overall, the internal temperatures of gas giants far exceed those on Earth.
Why are gas giants called that?
They are giant - much larger than Earth - and they consist mainly of gas.
Why are you closer to the sun than gas giants?
Because you live on earth.
What is Of all the gas giants?
Sun, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
Is Mars one of the earth planets?
It is earth-like, as opposed to the gas giants, if that's what you mean.
