Why are the temperatures on the gas giants to low?
They are farther from the sun.
Why would the gas giants be made of gas when they are so cold?
The gas giants are composed of hydrogen and helium, which can remain in a gaseous state at extremely low temperatures, even lower than thous found in the atmospheres of the gas giants. In reality, though, most of the volume of the gas giants is not gas. Deep within the atmospheres of these planets the enormous pressure renders the hydrogen and helium into a supercritical state, which is characteristics between those of a liquid and a gas. Even deeper the hydrogen enters an exotic metal-like state. The interiors of the gas giants are very hot.
What keeps the gases in the gas giants from escaping?
Gravity, combined with low surface temperatures.
What aspect of gas giants is most reasonable for low temperatures?
Not all gas giant planets have low temperatures (most exoplanets are hot "jupiters"). In our solar system the relatively low temperature are a result of the distance they are from the Sun.
What happens to the volume of an object when temperature decrease?
According to Charles law, the volume of gas decreases with lower temperatures and increases with higher temperatures
Why are the temperatures on the gas giants to low?
They are farther from the sun.
Do temperatures decrease tremendously from the outer to inner layer of the gas giants?
No. The temperature usually increasesgreatlytowards the interiors ofthe gas giants.
Why do gas giants generally have lower average lower average temperatures than the terrestrial?
The gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are much farther from the Sun than the inner planets, and so receive less solar heating. They are very hot in their interiors, however, due to compression from the large overlying atmosphere.It is difficult to accurately theorize what their mass, size, and composition would be if they were in closer orbits, but they would have higher average temperatures. The second reason for the low average temperature of gas giants is their large diameter, with a greater volume of atmosphere farther from the layers that have higher compression and heat retention. Even for Earth, the majority of the atmosphere (in the higher altitudes) is extremely cold by surface standards.

Gravity, combined with low surface temperatures.
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.
Why are the temperatures of the gas giants colder than those of the inner planets?
Because they are further from the sun.

What is the EGR in cars?
Exhaust Gas Recirculation. A small amount of exhaust gas is fed back into the cylinder to lower combustion temperatures and lower tail pipe emissions.
