Best Answer

There are four planets that are considered giant gas planets: Jupiter, Saturn,

Uranus, and Neptune.

All of them are much larger than Earth, and wrapped

in an envelope of gases of unknown depth.

Sometimes Uranus and Neptune are called "ice giant planets".

So, you could say there are, perhaps, only two real "giant gas planets".

They would be Jupiter and Saturn.
