What 2 planets are known as the ice giants?
Uranus and Neptune are the two planets known as the ice giants in our solar system. They are composed mostly of elements such as water, ammonia, and methane, which exist in solid form within their atmospheres.
How many gas planets are there?
In our Solar System, there a four gas planets. To be factually correct, there are only 2 gas planets - Jupiter and Saturn. and 2 ice planets - Uranus and Neptune. Combined, they a colloquially known as the Gas giants or Jovian planets.
How many gaseous planets in our solar system?
There are 4 planets that are considered the "Gas Giants." Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Uranus and Neptune are also called the "Ice Giants." All of the planets have gases in their composition, but the Gas Giants have the highest amounts.
What is the name of the outer planets?
Do you mean dwarf planets or the Kuiper Belt?, because only 2 or 3 of like 8 or 9 dwarf planets are beyond Neptune.
What two planets are referred as ice giants?
Uranus and Neptune are referred to as ice giants because they are composed mainly of elements such as water, ammonia, and methane, which exist in solid form in their atmospheres. This differentiates them from gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn.

Why are there two main types of planets?
There are two main types of planets because the two categories separate the planets into more specific groups. 1. Terrestrial planets have a rocky surface and are inside of the asteroid belt that separates the Terrestrial planets from the Gas Giants The Terrestrial planets are: (in order of distance to the sun (close to far) Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. 2. Gas Giants are mostly made up of gasses and are very large in size Gas Giants are: (in order of distance to the sun (close to far) Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Which has the most moons terrestrial planets or gas giant planets?
In our solar system and likely all others Gas Giants. There are only 2 Terrestrial Planets with moons, The Earth and Mars they are Luna (The Moon), Phobos and Deimos. Jupiter has 67 Known moons Saturn has 62 Known moons Uranus has 27 Known moons Neptune has 13 Known moons On a side note Pluto which is a dwarf planet has 5 moons Charon, Niz, Hydra, P4 and P5
What are the 5 major differences in Gas Giants and Rocky planets?
The five major differences between the gas giant planets and the rocky planets are as follows: 1. Gas giants are larger, both in diameter and in mass. 2. Gas giants have a much larger proportion of hydrogen and other light weight elements. Rocky planets have more rock. 3. Gas giants are farther away from the sun. 4. Gas giants are much colder. 5. Gas giants are made mostly (in some cases, perhaps entirely) of gas, while rocky planets are mostly solid with comparatively little gas. Edit: Here's another, if you want 6 differences: The Gas Giants have extensive systems of moons (and they have rings too).
Which planet are considered the inner planets?
The inner planets, also known as terrestrial planets, are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets are closest to the Sun in our solar system and are primarily composed of rock and metal. They have solid surfaces and thin atmospheres compared to the outer gas giants.
Why do inner planets have shorter revolution periods than the gas giants?
It doesn't matter that the gas giants are giant; what matters is their distance from the Sun. Inner planets have shorter revolution periods for two reasons: (1) they move faster; and (2) the total distance they have to travel is less.
