Jupiter has a composition of about 90% hydrogen and 10% helium
Saturn has a composition of about 96% hydrogen and 3% helium.
The Sun is the closest, with a composition of about 74% hydrogen and 25% helium.
The Sun does, but of course it's a lot hotter and it's very different from those planets.
What else can I help you with?
The discovery that the moon is similar in composition to the outer portions of the earth most supports the theory?
The discovery that the moon is similar in composition to the earth's outer layers supports the giant impact hypothesis. This theory posits that a Mars-sized object collided with Earth early in its history, resulting in the formation of the moon from the debris ejected into space. The composition similarities between the moon and Earth provide evidence for this impactful formation.
Which planets are Terresrial planets on our solar system?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are considered terrestrial planets in our solar system. They are characterized by having solid surfaces, similar in composition, and being relatively small compared to the gas giant planets.
What is the outer planet that is not a gas giant?
Neptune is the outer planet that is not a gas giant. It is classified as an ice giant due to its composition, which includes a significant amount of water, ammonia, and methane ices in addition to hydrogen and helium.
Which theory is supported most by the finding that the moon is similar in composition to the outer portions of the earth?
The "giant impact" theory. The most popular current theory of the Moon's formation is that during the early times of our solar system very shortly after its formation, another planet perhaps as large as Mars collided with the proto-Earth. The cores of the two planets merged (resulting in the unusually massive iron core of the Earth) and the debris blasted into space by the collision partly fell back to Earth and partly formed the Moon.
What is the name of a planet in your solar system that would be described as a gassy giant?
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and is often referred to as a "gassy giant" due to its predominantly gaseous composition of hydrogen and helium, with swirling bands of clouds and a massive storm called the Great Red Spot.
What is Neptune's twin?
Neptune does not have a known twin in our solar system. Its closest "twin" in terms of size and composition would be Uranus, which is a similar ice giant planet.
Is any other planet like Jupiter?
Yes. Jupiter is what we call a gas giant, and planets similar to Jupiter have been detected around distant stars. Here in our own solar system, the only planet similar in size and composition is Saturn.
What type of sun is it rocky or as gas giant?
A gas giant is similar in composition to the Sun. The Sun is much bigger than the gas giants and it is a star not a planet, of course.

What planet and Uranus are almost identical planets?
Neptune is the planet that is most similar to Uranus in terms of size, composition, and atmosphere. Both planets are similar in size, composition, and are classified as ice giant planets.
Which planets are Terresrial planets on our solar system?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are considered terrestrial planets in our solar system. They are characterized by having solid surfaces, similar in composition, and being relatively small compared to the gas giant planets.
Neptune order in the solar system?
Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun. You may say it is the last planet if you exclude Pluto.
What is the composition of the atmospheres of the giant's?
The answers are Hydrogen and Helium.
What is the outer planet that is not a gas giant?
Neptune is the outer planet that is not a gas giant. It is classified as an ice giant due to its composition, which includes a significant amount of water, ammonia, and methane ices in addition to hydrogen and helium.

How are gas giant planets and terrestrial planets similar?
They are are not similar.
What do all the moons in the solar system have in common?
Most moons in the solar system orbit around planets. They vary in size, composition, and distance from their parent planet, but they all are natural satellites. Moons can be either rocky or icy and can have varying surface features depending on their composition and history.
