Probably yes, but planetary scientists are still not certain about it.
True. Gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn do not have a solid surface; instead, they are composed mostly of gases such as hydrogen and helium. However, they are believed to have a dense, solid core made up of rock and metal at their centers.
Gas giants do not have solid surfaces like terrestrial planets do. Instead, their outer layers consist mainly of dense gases, such as hydrogen and helium. As you descend towards the core of a gas giant, the pressure and temperature increase immensely, but it does not transition to a solid surface.
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.
Well friend, gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn are like giant cosmic mosaics of swirling gas and dust. While we can't see inside them to be totally sure, based on what we know, it's believed they likely have a smaller, dense core buried beneath all those swirling layers of gas. Quite fascinating, isn't it? Beauty can be found in the smallest of things, even in the heart of a massive, swirling gas giant.
Large planets are typically called gas giants. These planets are composed mostly of gases such as hydrogen and helium, with a relatively small solid core. Examples of gas giants in our solar system include Jupiter and Saturn.
They're called gas giants because of this fact.
Gas giants are not solid like rocky planets. They are made up mostly of gases such as hydrogen and helium, with a small solid core at their center. The outer layers of gas giants are composed of thick atmospheres.
A small rocky core where solid debris has accumulated.

I guess you mean a solid core. Probably Jupiter and Saturn do. Uranus and Neptune perhaps do. Even planet scientists are not sure yet.
Neptune? Yes, it is made of gas; it is one of the 'gas giants'. It is 'composed of a deep atmosphere around a liquid surface and sometimes a solid core'.

Yes, Mercury is believed to have a large iron core, which makes up about 60% of its mass. This core is thought to be solid due to the planet's slow rotation and lack of a strong magnetic field, which suggests that the core is not convecting.

The inner core is solid.
