What is the length of a year of a gas giant?

The length of a year for a gas giant varies significantly depending on the planet's distance from the Sun and its orbital speed. For example, Jupiter takes about 11.86 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun, while Saturn takes about 29.5 Earth years. These lengthy orbital periods are due to their greater distances from the Sun compared to terrestrial planets. Thus, the length of a year for a gas giant can range from about 12 Earth years (for Jupiter) to over 80 Earth years (for Neptune).

How the sizes of the inner planets compare to the sizes of the gas giant planets?

The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are smaller in size compared to the gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). The gas giants are much larger because they are primarily composed of gas and have thick atmospheres, while the inner planets are rocky and have thinner atmospheres. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system.


Why are gas giants called that?

They are giant - much larger than Earth - and they consist mainly of gas.
