No. For one thing, most gas giants are believed to have solid cores of rock and metal similar to terrestrial planets. Additionally, the extreme pressure inside a gas giant means that most of the "gas" that makes them up is not in a gaseous state. Below a certain level the hydrogen and helium transition into a supercritical fluid, a state of matter with traits of both a liquid and a gas. Below that you find a degenerate state of matter known as liquid metallic hydrogen.

What are gas giants made of?
Gas giants are primarily made up of hydrogen and helium, with small amounts of other gases such as methane and ammonia. They have no solid surface and their atmosphere becomes increasingly dense towards the core.
Are gas giants planets?
A gas giant is a large planet that is not primarily made up of rock or other solid matter. Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus, and Saturn are gas giants in our Solar System. However, some scientists refer to Uranus and Neptune as "ice giants". Planets that over 10 Earth masses are termed giant planets.
Each of the gas giants is surrounded by circles called?
Each of the gas giants is surrounded by rings made up of dust, rock, and ice particles.
Which planets are mostly made from atmosphere?
The four outer gas giants.
What 2 gases are the gas giants made up of?
Gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn are primarily made up of hydrogen and helium. These two gases are the most abundant elements in the universe and make up a large part of the composition of gas giants.
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.
Are gas giants made of rocks and ice?
no they are made of gas. which is why they are called GAS giants
Why are the 4 gas giants called the gas giants?
it is actually a simple answer. they are all huge planets (4 to 5 times earths size) that are completely composed of gas
How are the gas giants simmilar?
they are all made of gas.
How does gravity play a role in gas giants?
gravity is what holds the gas giants. As the gas giants are made up of gases...gravity must hold them in place or they will run off to space..that rhymes.
What does the name gas giants suggest about four of the planets?
The planets are made out of gas.
Why are planets named gas giants?
Because they are mostly made out of gas and they are big or giant
Are planets mostly made out of gas?
Some are (the gas giants), but the others, like Earth, are not.
How are the inner planets and the gas giants different?
Inner planets are rocky and mostly composed of metal and silicate materials, with solid surfaces. Gas giants, on the other hand, are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium gases, with no solid surface. Gas giants are much larger in size and have thick atmospheres, while inner planets are smaller and have thin atmospheres.
What do all gas giants have that terrestrial plants do not have?

They have a large mass, and they have rings.Gas giants have enormous atmospheres, it may be said they consist only of atmosphere.

How are rocky plants different then gas giants?
Please tell me you mean Planets not Plants, that is an odd image. Rocky Planets are made mostly of Rock ie solid stuff. Gas Giants are made mostly of Gas. Most gas giants are much bigger than the rocky planets. So far most of the extra solar planets are gas giants (they are bigger so easier to find)
