Uranus and Neptune are not as big as Jupiter and Saturn because in the beginning of the creation of the solar system, there was a big explosion and rocks formed the interior planets and the remaining gas OUTSIDE of the solar system formed the gas and the gas closer to the sun was much greater than the outside. so what i mean is the gas in one section closer to ther sun made Jupiter and the other section didnt have as much gas as the first one, made Saturn. while the other section made uranus and neptune at the same time. which gives different amounts of mass and quantity of each one in the solar system. hope this helps
