"Jovian" planets are named after our Solar System's premiere gas giant, Jupiter. "Jove" is another name for the old Roman god "Jupiter" after which the planet was named.
Jovian planets are: -gaseous -farthest planets from the sun -largest planets
Uranus is the planet out of the Jovian planets that does not have rings.
The most obvious difference between terrestrial and jovian planets is their composition. Terrestrial planets are rocky and dense, while jovian planets are mostly composed of gases and lack a solid surface. Additionally, jovian planets are typically larger in size and have extensive ring systems.
The four Jovian planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.They are all giant gas planets, meaning that they are not only outstandingly giant planets, but also that they are not mainly composed of solid matters such as rock, but of gas!The Romans named the planet Jove/Jupiter, the name of one of their mythological gods. The word Jovian is the adjective form of Jove.And the planet Jove/Jupiter is by far the biggest (or 'god'!) of all the Jovian planets!For more information, see Related links below.
