Why don't astronomer's know much about the cores of the gas giants?
Because the gas giants are hundreds millions of miles away and their cores are hidden under thousands of miles of dense opaque gas.
True or false none of the gas giants has a solid surface but all have a solid core?
True. Edit: Unfortunately, even today, we can't be sure about the cores of the gas giants.
Do gas giant planets have solid cores?
The four gas giants of our solar system are thought to have small, dense cores of metal and rock, but mainly consists of liquid hydrogen and helium at immense pressure.
Why do you thik the winds speeds on the gas giants are so mush greater that the wind speeds on earth?
Their cores are spinning faster.
Another name for the inner planets?
The outer planets are also called Jovian planets or gas giants. These planets include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. These outer planets are gaseous with no solid surfaces and only liquid cores.

What characteristics do the four gas giants have in common?
All the gas giants have rings and no solid rocky cores.
Why are gas giants hard to investigate?
The cores are so deep in the planets
Is earth the only planet with a core?
No. The other terrestrial planets likely have metallic cores similar to Earth's. The gas giants likely have rocky cores.

Can you land on any of the gas giants?
No, the planets are composed of gases, except for the cores of the planets which are made up of rock.
Why do you thik the winds speeds on the gas giants are so mush greater that the wind speeds on earth?
Their cores are spinning faster.
Which planet is a giant ball of gasses?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all "gas giants". The existence and nature of solid cores is uncertain.
Can you describe the surface of the Jovian planets?
The Jovian planets are gas giants and have no surface.
Is there any planet of the solar system having a gaseous core?
Yes, the four gas giants have gaseous cores - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
