Gas giants all share the same characteristic. 1.) they are composed of hydrogen and helium, and they may contain some methane (Uranus is a planet that contains methane, also the reason why it has a blue-green appearance) so there is a possibility that some of the gas giants contain methane. It is technically the reason why they are called gas giants.

What other planets has analogy similar to Jupiter?

All of the gas giant planets are similar: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. They differ mainly in size and the concentration of certain gases in their atmospheres.


Which twin planet is mostly made of gas?

Uranus and Neptune, which are fairly similar in size and composition, have sometimes been referred to as twin planets to each other, and are mostly gas (although both are believed to have a rocky core).


How are the inner planets similar to dwarf planets?

Inner planets and dwarf planets are similar in that they both orbit around the sun, have a solid surface, and are relatively small compared to gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn. However, inner planets typically have a more defined orbit and are part of the traditional eight planets in our solar system, while dwarf planets are smaller bodies that have not cleared their orbits of other debris and therefore have a different classification.


What are the jovan planets made up of?

Jovian planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn, are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, similar to the composition of the Sun. They also contain traces of other gases and materials, such as methane, water, and ammonia. These planets have massive gas atmospheres that can extend for thousands of kilometers.


Which planets have densities similar to earth?

The four inner, terrestrial or rocky planets all have similar densities, much higher than the four outer gas giant planets (though the outer planets are much larger and more massive).

What are the outer planets and how are they similar?

The outer planets are the planets that are made of gas. Each of the outer planets are mad of gas and can not hold life.


How the inner planets are similar to each other?

The four inner planets are all made of rock or are rock based but the four outer planets are all made of gas or gas based.


How are gas giant planets and terrestrial planets similar?

They are are not similar.


Which of the outer planets has a surface more similar to the inner planets than to the outer planets?

Neptune has a surface more similar to the inner planets than to the other outer planets. It is primarily composed of rock and ice, similar to the composition of the inner planets, whereas the other outer planets are predominantly gas giants.

Which planets gas might be close to the amount on earth?

If by gas you mean an atmosphere, there are no planets with an atmosphere anywhere similar to Earth.


How are the inner and outer planets different from each other?

Well, the inner planets are not made up of gas like Saturn and Jupiter but Neptune and Uranus are surrounded by the gas giant

How are the outer planets similar?

The outer planets, also known as gas giants, are similar in that they are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium gases. They are all much larger and more massive than Earth, and they do not have solid surfaces like the inner planets. Additionally, these planets have numerous moons and ring systems.


How are inner planets and gas giants similar?

they orbit the sun and are the first four outer planets
