A Jovian planet is another term for a gas giant (Jove was another word for Jupiter) . Gas giants are not primarily made up of rock or another solid material and are commonly composed of hydrogen and helium. Mixes of other gases and water are also possible. They may have a metallic or rock core, but they lack a well defined surface. These planets tend to be quite large; Neptune for instance is around 3.8 times the size of Earth. In our solar system Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are gas giants.
