Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune (Jovian Planets) differ from Pluto in that they are Gas Giants comprising of mainly hydrogen, whereas Pluto is composed of rock and Ice. Also, they are much larger, by a factor of at least 20:1.

What do all of the outer planets have in common?

All outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are gas giants composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. They are much larger in size and mass compared to the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars). They also have rings around them, although Saturn's rings are the most prominent.


What are the 3 features that the outer planets have in common?

These are the four outer gas giant planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are all much larger than the inner planets, they all have a similar composition (gaseous atmospheres, mainly of Hydrogen and Helium) and they each have many moons and a ring system. None of the inner planets have a ring system and there are only three moons in total for the four inner planets (one for Earth and two in orbit around Mars).
