The five distant planets, often referred to as the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn) and ice giants (Uranus, Neptune), are primarily composed of hydrogen, helium, and various ices such as water, ammonia, and methane. While gas giants have thick atmospheres dominated by hydrogen and helium, ice giants possess a higher proportion of heavier elements and ices. These compositions differ significantly from terrestrial planets, which are primarily rocky.
What else can I help you with?
Are the inner planets large planets made up of mostly gas?
No, those are the outer planets.
What are the giant outer planets made mostly made out of?
Gases
What are the gassy planets?
They are made mostly of hydrogen and helium.
Stars and planets are made from what gas?
The atmosphere of the gas giants is usually made up of mostly of hydrogen and what?
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.
What are Earth and the other planets closest to the sun are made mostly?
Earth and the other planets are mostly made of rock.
Why are the smallest planets the densest?
because they are made of mostly metal and rock while the bigger planets are mostly made of gas
What are the outermost planets mostly made of?
Ices.
Are the inner planets large planets made up of mostly gas?
No, those are the outer planets.
What are the gassy planets made of?
They are made mostly of hydrogen and helium.
What are the giant outer planets made mostly made out of?
Gases
What are the inner planet mostly made of?
The inner planets are mostly made of iron and rock.
What are the five distant planets are made mostly of?
I'm not sure what "the five distant planets" means. There are four outer planets in the solar system: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.Jupiter and Saturn are mainly hydrogen and helium, and are usually called "gas giants" for this reason.Uranus and Neptune have substantial atmospheres of hydrogen and helium, but also contain large amounts of methane, water, and ammonia; they're sometimes also called gas giants, but sometimes "ice giants" because in astronomer language, the words "gas" and "ice" don't have their ordinary everyday meanings.Hydrogen and helium are "gases." Things that, at normal Earth temperatures, are gases or liquids are "ices" as long as they have melting points of at least 100 K. Things that are still solid at very high temperatures are "rocks", even if they're actually metals, because "metal" to an astronomer means "anything that isn't hydrogen or helium".To add a fifth, we'd need to come in to Mars, which is a rocky body just like Earth is.
How are the inner planets different from the outer planets?
The inner planets Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are small, heavy and mostly made of rock. The outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are huge, light and mostly made of gas.
What is a inner planer?
An inner planet is mostly made of iron and has more mass than outer planets, outer planets are mostly made of gasses, makeing them have less mass. The inner planets are the planets between the asteroid belt and the sun
What are the giant outer planets mostly made of?
Rocks
What are the gassy planets?
They are made mostly of hydrogen and helium.
