Among the gas giants in our solar system, Uranus is the most notably tilted, with an axial tilt of about 98 degrees, essentially rolling on its side. Neptune also has a significant tilt of approximately 28 degrees, though it's much less extreme than Uranus. In contrast, Jupiter and Saturn have much smaller axial tilts, around 3 degrees and 27 degrees, respectively, making them less comparable to Earth's tilt of about 23.5 degrees.

What is between the gas and terrestrial planets?

The Asteroid Belt is a demarcation between the gas giants and terrestrial type planets.


Which list is terrestrial plantes in order from smales to largest?

The terrestrial planets, in order from smallest to largest, are Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Earth. Mercury is the smallest, followed by Mars, then Venus, and Earth is the largest of the four. These planets are primarily composed of rock and metal, distinguishing them from the larger gas giants.


What are the three categories of planets?

We have no idea which particular three categories you mean. One possibility is "terrestrial planets", "gas giants", "ice giants". There are others. For example, ice dwarfs, gas dwarfs ("dwarf" in this sense means "less than 10x Earth's mass", and is not related to the term "dwarf planet" used to describe e.g. Pluto; Pluto is a dwarf in both senses, but Earth in only one of them). "hot Jupiters", chthonian planets ... Your question is impossible to answer, because there are a lot more than three categories, and which three are meant depends really on what you're trying to distinguish.


Did earth crash into a planet?

There are theories that claim the Earth was formed by many disdinct, huge rocks or "planets' crashed into each other. The crashes' fragments bonded by gravity, thus making a survivable planet. It is also said that the moon was formed when a premature planet crashed into Earth. The debris joined together into a body, and thus, led to the moon.


Why won't Saturn ever have more and larger moons?

There is no reason to believe that he "won't ever" have more moons. On the contrary, it is quite possible that the gas giants - like Saturn - have gravitationally captured some asteroids, converting them into their moons - and this may happen again.

No, Earth is not a gas giant. It is a terrestrial planet with a solid surface. Gas giants are planets like Jupiter and Saturn, which are primarily composed of gases such as hydrogen and helium.


Why are gas giants important to earth?

The gas giants are important because their strong gravity draws in many large asteroids before they can hit earth.
