The jovian planets contain a large percentage of the gases?
Hydrogen and Helium
Are the planets that have a higher density the Terrestrial planets or the Jovian planets?
The Terrestrial planets have a higher density. Their structure includes a large percentage of rock, while the Jovian planets are composed mostly of gas.
Why are gaseous planets larger than rocky planets like earth?
Planets which began in dense matter regions have greater mass, and are able to hold onto their large, deep atmospheres of light gases like hydrogen and helium. (Jupiter's diameter is mostly atmosphere, while Earth's atmosphere is relatively shallow at about 1% of its diameter.)
What are large planets called?
The large planets of the Solar system are Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus. They are considered gas giants because they consist mostly of gas with no solid surface.
What is the primary difference in composition between the Sun and the terrestrial planets is?
Dependant on how the debris from supernovae is moving, the proportions of certain materials present, and the initial conditions of solar systems forming different combinations of terrestrial and Jovian planets are formed. Terrestrial planets are comprised of heavier particles (ie. of higher relative atomic mass) meaning they have stronger gravity which leads to higher density planets than the gaseous Jovian planets. A Jovian planet can be thought of as a failed star - it has all the elements needed to fuel nuclear fusion, but not enough gravity to attain the nuclear activation energy required. So the Sun started as a large cloud mostly comprising of gases, and terrestrial planets were formed from clouds mostly consisting of heavy solids.
What are the jovian planets like?
They are very large, and consist of mostly gases.
What planets are large fast moving and mostly made of gasses?
well its your mom and dad
What planets are large fast moving and made mostly of gas?
The exoplanets called "Hot Jupiters."
What planets are large fast moving and made mostly of glass?
No planet is made of glass, as far as I know. The giant planets - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune - are large, and made mostly of gas. However, they are not fast-moving.The inner planets - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars - are slow, fast-moving, and made basically of rock.
Why are the gases in the sun always moving?
the sun is a very large gasious fire ball,if the gases dont move the sun will exploade and burn earth and some other planets to a crisp.:)
Are the inner planets large planets made up of mostly gas?
No, those are the outer planets.
What is the differences between large planets and small planets?
The difference between large planets and small planets are that large planets are made up of gases and therefore don't have soild surfaces where as small planets are made up of rocks and other materials liek that and have soild surfaces.
The jovian planets contain a large percentage of the gases?
Hydrogen and Helium
What planets are large fast moving and made of gasses?
Jupiter
Is Mercury large and made mostly of gases?
No its a small planet. It has a radius of 2439 km or 1515 miles. Its not made of gas...its a rocky planet made of mostly iron. Planets that do fit your description are Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus.
The large planets in the solar system are composed primarily of what?
The large planets in our solar system are composed mainly of gases, as is the Sun. They have dense, gaseous atmospheres around a smaller core. Uranus and Neptune have a higher percentage of methane, ammonia and water than Saturn and Jupiter, which are mostly hydrogen and helium.
What are large planets called gas or terrestrial?
large planets are called the outer planets or the JOVIAN PLANETS which are made up of gases and viscous liquids... terrestrial planets are the inner planets! inner planets- MERCURY VENUS EARTH MARS outer planets- JUPITER SATURN URANUS NEPTUNE
