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.

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
Compare and contrast the outer planets of the solar system with the inner planets.?
INNER PLANETS-Rocky SurfaceInside the Meteor BeltMercury, Venus, Earth, and MarsThin closer to the sun than outer planets areOUTER PLANETS-Gas planetsMost are bigger planets ( other than Pluto)Uranus, Saturn, Neptune, Jupiter, and Pluto.Called Gas giantsPluto is a dwarf planet
Inner an outer planet similarities?
The inner and outer planets are The same because The Inner planets are not made out of gas The outer planets are bigger than inners The outer planets are the coldest The Inner planets are rocky The inner planets are terrestrial The outer planets can't support life The inner planets have iron cores The outer are the furthest from the sun The outer planets haveno rocky surface
What is the relationship between the diameter of the planets and their positions from the sun?
There is no real relationship between their diameter and distance from the sun, except that you could say that the four outer gas planets are much bigger than the four inner rocky (or terrestrial) planets.
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?
They are larger, at least based on the planets in our solar system.
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?

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?

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.
What type of mars is it rocky or gas planet?
Mars is a rocky planet.....the 4 inner planets are rocky and the 4 outer planets are gas (gas giants)
