Haumea is primarily composed of rock and ice, similar to other dwarf planets in our solar system. It has a rocky core surrounded by a layer of ice, believed to be a mix of water ice, methane, and other organic compounds. Gas giants are typically much larger planets composed mostly of gases like hydrogen and helium.
No. The four outer planets are not rock. Jupiter and Saturn are what we call gas giants, composed mostly of hydrogen and helium. Uranus and Neptune are sometimes called ice giants, with mantles composed of water, ammonia, and methane ices kept solid by pressure rather than cold. All four of these planets are believed to have rocky cores.

Neptune is a gas giant - or to be precise an ice giant.
Gas
Outer planets are mostly composed of gas and ice, such as hydrogen, helium, ammonia, methane, and water. These planets do not have solid surfaces like the inner rocky planets, but instead have thick atmospheres surrounding a small, dense core.

The outer planets are mostly composed of gasses and ice. The inner planets are mostly composed of iron and rocks. Hope you are a Twilight fan because those ooks are really good. Happy Science! now please enjoy the following ads!:

Gasses and ice . (:
Nptune is made mostly out of gas

Uranus is mostly gas by volume, however there is a solid inner core of the planet that is composed of ice and rock.
Mars is a rocky planet. The rocky planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Dwarf planets like Pluto may contain rock, but also presumably much ice.
Because the outer planets are composed of mainly gas or ice, whereas the inner planets are composed of rock which has a higher density.
The four outermost planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are mostly made of hydrogen and helium gas, with smaller amounts of other elements like water, ammonia, and methane. These planets are known as gas giants because of their composition and lack of a solid surface.
