I'm not sure what "the five distant planets" means. There are four outer planets in the solar system: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Jupiter and Saturn are mainly hydrogen and helium, and are usually called "gas giants" for this reason.
Uranus and Neptune have substantial atmospheres of hydrogen and helium, but also contain large amounts of methane, water, and ammonia; they're sometimes also called gas giants, but sometimes "ice giants" because in astronomer language, the words "gas" and "ice" don't have their ordinary everyday meanings.
Hydrogen and helium are "gases." Things that, at normal Earth temperatures, are gases or liquids are "ices" as long as they have melting points of at least 100 K. Things that are still solid at very high temperatures are "rocks", even if they're actually metals, because "metal" to an astronomer means "anything that isn't hydrogen or helium".
To add a fifth, we'd need to come in to Mars, which is a rocky body just like Earth is.
What else can I help you with?
Why are the outer planets less dense?
They are made of less dense materials. While the inner planets are made primarily of rock, the outer planets are made mostly of hydrogen and helium.
What are the four outermost planets mostly made of?
The four outermost planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are mostly made of hydrogen and helium gas, with smaller amounts of other elements like water, ammonia, and methane. These planets are known as gas giants because of their composition and lack of a solid surface.
Which planets are mostly made from atmosphere?
The four outer gas giants.
What are planets mostly made out of?
Well, if you take all the planets together, taking into account that Jupiter and Saturn are enormous and consist mostly of hydrogen and helium gasses, then you'd have to say that the planets are made mostly of hydrogen and helium gas. But if you are allowed to give separate answers for the different planets, you'd say that the four terrestrial planets are made mostly out of silicate (rocky) material with a core of nickel-iron alloy, that Jupiter and Saturn are made mostly of a mixture of hydrogen and helium gasses, and that Urnaus and Neptune are made mostly of hydrogen and helium gases with substantial cores of water ice.
Are the inner planets made out of?
Inner planets are made mostly of rock, although the Earth also has quite a substantial metallic core, of nickel and iron.
7. The five distant planets are made mostly of .?
The five distant planets, often referred to as the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn) and ice giants (Uranus, Neptune), are primarily composed of hydrogen, helium, and various ices such as water, ammonia, and methane. While gas giants have thick atmospheres dominated by hydrogen and helium, ice giants possess a higher proportion of heavier elements and ices. These compositions differ significantly from terrestrial planets, which are primarily rocky.
What are Earth and the other planets closest to the sun are made mostly?
Earth and the other planets are mostly made of rock.
Why are the smallest planets the densest?
because they are made of mostly metal and rock while the bigger planets are mostly made of gas
What are the outermost planets mostly made of?
Ices.
Are the inner planets large planets made up of mostly gas?
No, those are the outer planets.
What are the gassy planets made of?
They are made mostly of hydrogen and helium.
What are the giant outer planets made mostly made out of?
Gases
What are the inner planet mostly made of?
The inner planets are mostly made of iron and rock.
What are the giant outer planets mostly made of?
Rocks
What are the gassy planets?
They are made mostly of hydrogen and helium.
Which planets mostly made of atmosphere?
venus and earth.
How are the inner planets different from the outer planets?
The inner planets Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are small, heavy and mostly made of rock. The outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are huge, light and mostly made of gas.
