The four Jovian planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
They are all giant gas planets, meaning that they are not only outstandingly giant planets, but also that they are not mainly composed of solid matters such as rock, but of gas!
The Romans named the planet Jove/Jupiter, the name of one of their mythological gods. The word Jovian is the adjective form of Jove.
And the planet Jove/Jupiter is by far the biggest (or 'god'!) of all the Jovian planets!

The most obvious difference between terrestrial and jovian planets is their composition. Terrestrial planets are rocky and dense, while jovian planets are mostly composed of gases and lack a solid surface. Additionally, jovian planets are typically larger in size and have extensive ring systems.
How do Jovian and terrestrial planets compare?
Jovian planets are gas giants made mostly of hydrogen and helium, while terrestrial planets are rocky planets with solid surfaces. Jovian planets are much larger in size and have thick atmospheres, while terrestrial planets are smaller and have thinner atmospheres.

How does the diameter of the terrestrial and jovian planets compare?
Jovian planets generally have larger diameters than terrestrial planets. The average diameter of terrestrial planets like Earth is around 12,742 km, while the average diameter of Jovian planets like Jupiter is around 139,822 km. This difference is due to Jovian planets being mostly composed of gases and having less dense materials compared to the rocky composition of terrestrial planets.
