Which planets are not among the gas giant planets?
All of the inner planets are rocky planets: Mars, Earth, Venus, and Mercury
How do the periods of rotation and revolution for the gas giant planets differ from those earth?
It is so much greater because the planets are made out of gas and gas are inside a wind storm or should i say a wind cycle and that is my answer.

Why the wind speeds on the gas giant planets are so much greater than the wind speeds on earth?
Probably the biggest reason is that there is no land to slow down the wind. Also, wind is caused by differences in air pressure, which are caused by uneven heating and cooling. The gas giants have not only the heat from the sun but also their own internal heat. Jupiter is so massive that it generates more heat than it receives from the sun.
Why do you think the wind speeds on the gas giant planets are so much greater than the wind speeds on earth?
There are three reasons. First, the gas planets have no definite surface to generate friction. Second, the gas planets rotate faster than Earth does, creating a stronger Coriolis effect. Third, the gas planets, especially Jupiter and Neptune, generate large amounts of internal heat that is transmitted directly to their atmospheres, causing convection.
Why does Jupiter have 16 moons and the earth only has one?
This is clearly related to its greater mass. The other giant planets also have several moons each.
How many rings do the giant planets have?
It depends on the term 'giant'. If 'giant' refers to larger than earth, then all of the giant planets in our solar system have 3 rings in total.
