The gas giants ("Jovian planets") are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Unlike the terrestrial planets, these planets:
Planets are placed into either the Jovian or terrestrial group based on their composition, size, and distance from the sun. Jovian planets are gas giants, much larger in size and primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. Terrestrial planets, like Earth, are smaller, rocky planets with solid surfaces.
The Jovian planets are gas giants and have no surface.
The four Jovian planets
The four Jovian planets in our solar system are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The four terrestrial planets are Earth, Venus, Mars and Mercury. The difference between the Jovian planets and the terrestrial planets is that Jovian planets are enormous and made of gasses and ices while terrestrial planets are relatively small and made of rocks and metals. Other differences are that terrestrial planets have high densities, rotate slowly, have no moons or magnetic fields and have thin atmospheres (Earth is an exception because it has a moon and a magnetic field), while Jovian planets have low densities, rotate rapidly, have many moons and a magnetic field and have thick atmospheres.
The Jovian planets have much higher escape velocities.

Earth us a terrestrial planet. Jovian planets are gas giants with no solid surface.
Planets are placed into either the Jovian or terrestrial group based on their composition, size, and distance from the sun. Jovian planets are gas giants, much larger in size and primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. Terrestrial planets, like Earth, are smaller, rocky planets with solid surfaces.
The most obvious difference between terrestrial and jovian planets is their composition. Terrestrial planets are rocky and dense, while jovian planets are mostly composed of gases and lack a solid surface. Additionally, jovian planets are typically larger in size and have extensive ring systems.
Jovian Planets do not have a solid surface to stand on.
Inner planets are terrestrial planets outer are jovian planets
Jovian planets are cold because they are located much farther from the sun than terrestrial planets like Earth. Since they receive less sunlight and heat, they have lower average temperatures. Additionally, the atmospheres of Jovian planets are primarily composed of cold gases like hydrogen and helium, which contribute to their overall cold temperatures.
The cores of all four Jovian planets are made of rock, metal, and gasses. The difference between the planets are the layers that surround the cores.
Jovian planets are: -gaseous -farthest planets from the sun -largest planets
The Jovian planets are gas giants and have no surface.
The four Jovian planets
No. The Jovian planets are much more massive than the terrestrial planets.
