Gaseous planets, also known as gas giants, primarily have thick atmospheres composed mainly of hydrogen and helium. They typically lack a solid surface and possess deep, massive atmospheres that can feature complex weather systems and storms. Additionally, they often have multiple moons and ring systems, distinguishing them from terrestrial planets. Examples of gaseous planets in our solar system include Jupiter and Saturn.
