∙ 6y agoJupiter and Saturn are mostly hydrogen and helium, while Uranus and Neptune have rocky cores and an outer mantle containing a hot slush of water, ammonia, and methane.
Most of the hydrogen on Jupiter and Saturn is compressed into liquid and solid forms, deep within their dense atmospheres. This is in spite of the very high temperatures near their tiny rocky cores.

What 2 gases are the gas giants made up of?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are composed of Hydrogen 90%, and Helium 10%.
Do Jovian planets have a solid surface?
Jovian planets can also be called gas giants. They are Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. They are mostly made up of gas, but they have a rocky core, (somewhere!). They are said to lack a solid surface, But they actually don't really have a surface at all! The gases that they're made up from get thinner and thinner as you get closer to the core.
Which planet is made mostly of gases?
These are the four outer gas giant planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.This is the view of the older text books. However, since the voyager flybys, it was detected that Uranus and Neptune had different chemical composition than Jupiter and Saturn and they contained more ice. For that reason, they are now considered Ice Giants and not Gas Giants.JupiterJupiterJupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus are referred to as the "Gas Giants"due to their being comprised of non-rocky materials.Of these four, Jupiter and Saturn are comprised mostly of gases.-S.M.

Do uranus and neptune have rings?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune all have rings. Jupiter's ring is thin and dark, and cannot be seen from Earth. Saturn's rings are the most magnificent; they are bright, wide, and colorful. Uranus has nine dark rings around it, and Neptune's rings are also dark, but contain a few bright arcs.
What are the planets that have rings?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. All the outer planets.
