"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
The Terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The Jovian planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Terrestrial planets are the solid planets like Earth and Mars. Jovian planets are those gas planets like Jupiter and Saturn.
When the planets were beginning to form the strong solar wind of the young sun blew most of the hydrogen and helium out of the inner solar system. Some scientists believe that Jupiter, being the innermost of the gas giants, captured much of this outgoing gas, adding it to its mass.
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.

Another name for gaseous planets is Jovian planet meaning Jupiter like.
Jovian Planets do not have a solid surface to stand on.
Inner planets are terrestrial planets outer are jovian planets
The outer planets are Gas Giants, also known as Jovian planets.
Jovian planets are: -gaseous -farthest planets from the sun -largest planets
The Jovian planets are gas giants and have no surface.
It is believed planets form via accretion. However, due to the large size of Jovian planets, there would not be enough time for these to form via accretion. This presents the â??Jovian Problemâ?? which contends that since these type planets abound in planetary systems, there may be another way in which these planets may form.
The four Jovian planets
No. The Jovian planets are much more massive than the terrestrial planets.
The Jovian Planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.... Jovian means Made of Gas.
Just beyond the Jovian planets is the Kuiper Belt.
