The Gas Giants, or Jovian Planets are the outer planets of our solar system. (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) The Rocky Planets, or Inner Planets, are much smaller compared to the outer planets. (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) To answer your question, yes, the gas planets are larger than the rocky planets.
Update: Since the voyager space probe, only Jupiter and Saturn are now classified as the Gas giants. Uranus and Neptune are now referred to as the Ice giants.
What else can I help you with?
How do the four rocky planets compare to the four gas giants in size?
All four rocky planets are much smaller than gas planets.
Why do gas planets have more moons than rocky planets?
Gas planets have mor planets then rocky planets because rocky planets are like earth. Gas planets are just difrent in there own way. If im wrong tell me but im pretty sure that's why. they are larger so the gravity captures more satalites
What is the relative size of the inner planets?
The inner planets are smaller than the outer planets. This may be because the outer planets are called gas giants. This means that gas can accumulate in size at times, and this can be one of the situations.
What do the outer planets have that the inner planets do not have?
outer planets are gas giants whille inner planets are just rocky planets. that includes that outer planets have significant amount of mass than the inner planets
Are the outer planets small rocky planets with iron cores?
No, the outer planets, also known as gas giants, are made predominantly of gas and liquid rather than rock and metal. They do not have solid surfaces like the inner rocky planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) and are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium with small rocky cores at their centers.
Are the gas planets bigger or smaller than the rocky planets?
the gas planets are bigger than the rocky planets
Are gas planets smaller or bigger than rocky planets?
Gas planets are typically much larger than rocky planets. They are made up mostly of gases like hydrogen and helium and have lower density compared to rocky planets. Gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn can be tens or even hundreds of times larger than rocky planets like Earth.
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)
How are the planets classifications as a terrestrial plaent or gas giant generally related to their densities?
Rocky planets are denser than gas giants.
How do the four rocky planets compare to the four gas giants in size?
All four rocky planets are much smaller than gas planets.
How do the four rocky planets compare to the four gas giants size?
All four rocky planets are much smaller than gas planets.
Are there more gas planets than rock planets?
Of the 8 planets, four are rocky and four are gas planets, so there are equal numbers.
Which group of planets is more massive than the group of rocky planets?
The gas giants.
Is a dwarf planet bigger than a gas planet?
The gas planets are the largest planets in the solar system. The dwarf planets are smaller than even the smallest planets.
Which planet is solar systems larger rocky planet?
Earth, which is bigger than Mars, Venus and Mercury(other rocky planets). Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are made out of solidified gas, so even though they are bigger than the Earth, they have very few rocks in their core.
What are some things in the outer planets?
gas no life and they are bigger than the inner planets
Why do gas planets have more moons than rocky planets?
Gas planets have mor planets then rocky planets because rocky planets are like earth. Gas planets are just difrent in there own way. If im wrong tell me but im pretty sure that's why. they are larger so the gravity captures more satalites
