Planets balls of gas?
Planets are celestial bodies that orbit a star, composed of rock, gas, or a combination of both. Gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn are primarily made up of gases like hydrogen and helium, whereas terrestrial planets like Earth and Mars have solid surfaces with rocky compositions.
What are the two main classifications for planets?
The two main classifications for planets are terrestrial planets and gas giants. Terrestrial planets, like Earth, are rocky and have solid surfaces. Gas giants, like Jupiter, are composed mainly of gases and do not have a solid surface.
What is the nickname for the outer planets?
Gas Giants :)
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 because the intense heat and solar wind from the young Sun blew away most of the lighter gases, leaving mostly heavier elements to accrete into rocky planets. The gravity of the inner planets was not strong enough to hold onto light gases due to their proximity to the Sun.
What separates the terrestrial planets and the Gas Giants?
The main difference is their composition. Terrestrial planets like Earth are rocky planets with solid surfaces, while gas giants like Jupiter are composed mainly of gases such as hydrogen and helium and lack a solid surface. Gas giants also have significantly more mass and are much larger in size compared to terrestrial planets.
What makes up frozen gas?
What makes up frozen gases are little particles that are roaming around in the solar system, and the little particles that come off every planet, come together to make frozen gas, and it goes on top of another planet to make it more cold, most likely the planets that are more far away from the sun, like Pluto, or any of the planets with rings, not the planets closer to the sun because the FROZEN gas will just melt and let out into space like how it started off. Now you know what frozen gas is. =]
Are you sure that a cloud is gas?
A cloud is a visible mass of water droplets or frozen water crystals.
What planets are made of gas?
all planets are gaseous(made out of gas)EXCEPT Pluto because it does not exist any more
What are the gas giant planets named after?
the gas planets are named after the greek gods and goddesses like Aries
Do all planets have gas?
No, not all planets have gas. Some planets, like Earth and Mars, have solid surfaces while others, like Jupiter and Saturn, are mostly composed of gas. Gas giants are primarily made up of hydrogen and helium.
What are two types of planets?
Two types of planets are terrestrial planets, which are small, rocky planets like Earth, and gas giant planets, which are large planets primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, such as Jupiter and Saturn.
Is a Gas planet like a regular planet?
No, gas planets have no surface or core.
Are Jupiter and Saturn rocky planets or gas giants?
Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants, not rocky planets. They are primarily made up of gases like hydrogen and helium and do not have a solid surface like rocky planets such as Earth.
Are inner planets gas giants?
No, the inner planets are the terrestrial or rocky planets. The outer planets are the gas giant planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are mainly made up of Hydrogen and Helium gas.
Which planets are terrestial and gas planets?
Terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Gas planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Terrestrial planets have solid rocky surfaces, while gas planets are primarily composed of gases and have no solid surface.
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.
What is the largest classification of planets?
The largest classification of planets is based on their composition and includes terrestrial planets (like Earth) and gas giants (like Jupiter and Saturn). Terrestrial planets are composed mainly of rock and metal, while gas giants are primarily made up of hydrogen and helium.
