The gas giants ("Jovian planets") are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Unlike the terrestrial planets, these planets:
- Are quite a bit larger
- Consist mainly of gas
- Don't have a surface on which you might stand
- Contain more hydrogen and helium, and less of the heavier elements
- Have a lower density

What criteria are the planet placed into either the jovian or terrestial groups?
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.
How does the diameter of the terrestial and jovian planets compare?
Terrestrial planets, which include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, generally have smaller diameters, ranging from about 4,880 km to 12,742 km. In contrast, Jovian planets, such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are significantly larger; for instance, Jupiter has a diameter of about 139,820 km. This stark difference in size reflects their distinct compositions and structures, with terrestrial planets being rocky and smaller, while Jovian planets are gas giants with vast atmospheres.
Can you describe the surface of the Jovian planets?
The Jovian planets are gas giants and have no surface.

Differentiate Jovian planet from terrestrial planet?
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.
Why do Jovian planets have more volotile liquid and gaseous material then terrestial planets?

Is earth terrestial or jovian?
Earth us a terrestrial planet. Jovian planets are gas giants with no solid surface.

The most obvious difference between the terrestrial and the jovian planets is?
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.
How does the diameter of the terrestial and jovian planets compare?
Terrestrial planets, which include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, generally have smaller diameters, ranging from about 4,880 km to 12,742 km. In contrast, Jovian planets, such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are significantly larger; for instance, Jupiter has a diameter of about 139,820 km. This stark difference in size reflects their distinct compositions and structures, with terrestrial planets being rocky and smaller, while Jovian planets are gas giants with vast atmospheres.
Why are jovian planets so cold?
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.
What do jovian planets not have?
Jovian Planets do not have a solid surface to stand on.
Is a Jovian planets is call Inner?
Inner planets are terrestrial planets outer are jovian planets
What is the planet interior of Jovian?
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.
What are the 3 characteristics the jovian planets have in common?
Jovian planets are: -gaseous -farthest planets from the sun -largest planets
Can you describe the surface of the Jovian planets?
The Jovian planets are gas giants and have no surface.
