Does a gas giant planet have craters?
No. Gas giants do not have solid surfaces, so there is nothing for a crater to form on.
Which of the gas giants are made of frozen gas?
which of the gas giants are made of frozen gas
Does Neptune have canyons?
No. Neptune is a gas giant, it is composed entirely of gas. Gas giants do not have any solid surfaces or plate activity. Therefore it is impossible for surface features such as mountains to form.
Are Jupiter and Saturn rocky planets or gas giants?
They are both gas giants
Do the gas giants have volcanoes?
The gas giants have no volcanoes; they are composed entirely or almost entirely of gas, so there is nothing to erupt. However, it should be noted that some of the satellites of the gas giants do have volcanoes.
Why are you closer to the sun than gas giants?
Because you live on earth.
Are planetary rings found in the ecliptic of gas giants?
When you say ecliptic I assume you mean along the equator or latitude lines. Yes and no. While we know that gas giant's often form moons in this area, we have a perfect example in Uranus that shows in exo-solar systems gas giants may also form moons in other locations. In Uranus it's probably closer to the prime meridian or longitudinal lines.
How are the gas giants different from the terrestrial?
Gas giants are much bigger, are more distant from the sun, and are composed mostly of gas (particularly methane and ammonia) whereas the terrestrial planets are composed mostly of rock and metal, are closer to the sun, and are smaller.
Does a gas giant planet have craters?
No. Gas giants do not have solid surfaces, so there is nothing for a crater to form on.
For what reason did the inner planets not collect gas like the gas giants did?
The inner planets did not collect gas like the gas giants did because of their closeness to the Sun. The high temperatures allow for rocky, solid surfaces to form.
Which of the gas giants are made of frozen gas?
which of the gas giants are made of frozen gas
What are the gas giants made of?
The Gas Giants are mostly made up of gas.
Why are the gas giants far away from the sun and the terrestrial planets close?
They are so large travelling closer to the sun they would have an increased velocity losing there gas to solar winds ect.
Does Neptune have canyons?
No. Neptune is a gas giant, it is composed entirely of gas. Gas giants do not have any solid surfaces or plate activity. Therefore it is impossible for surface features such as mountains to form.
Are gas giants made of rocks and ice?
no they are made of gas. which is why they are called GAS giants
Are gas giants a surface type?
Yes because the four outer planets,Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are gas planets. They are known for their gas. The outer planets (closer to the sun) have rocky surfaces. So the outer planets have gas surfaces
A sentence for gas giants?
A sentence for gas giants is: There are four gas giants in the solar system, which are Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn, and Uranus. Another sentence is: The gas giants are mainly composed of various different gases.
