Are gas planets smaller or bigger than rocky planets?

Gas planets are typically much larger than rocky planets. They are made up mostly of gases like hydrogen and helium and have lower density compared to rocky planets. Gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn can be tens or even hundreds of times larger than rocky planets like Earth.


Are inner planets gas giants?

No, the inner planets are the terrestrial or rocky planets. The outer planets are the gas giant planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are mainly made up of Hydrogen and Helium gas.


What are the 5 major differences in Gas Giants and Rocky planets?

The five major differences between the gas giant planets and the rocky planets are as follows: 1. Gas giants are larger, both in diameter and in mass. 2. Gas giants have a much larger proportion of hydrogen and other light weight elements. Rocky planets have more rock. 3. Gas giants are farther away from the sun. 4. Gas giants are much colder. 5. Gas giants are made mostly (in some cases, perhaps entirely) of gas, while rocky planets are mostly solid with comparatively little gas. Edit: Here's another, if you want 6 differences: The Gas Giants have extensive systems of moons (and they have rings too).


How do the four rocky planets compare to the four gas giants size?

All four rocky planets are much smaller than gas planets.


What planets are the rocky planets?

The rocky planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets have solid surfaces primarily made of rock and metal, unlike the gas giants which are mostly composed of gases such as hydrogen and helium.
