The gas giants are composed of hydrogen and helium, which can remain in a gaseous state at extremely low temperatures, even lower than thous found in the atmospheres of the gas giants. In reality, though, most of the volume of the gas giants is not gas. Deep within the atmospheres of these planets the enormous pressure renders the hydrogen and helium into a supercritical state, which is characteristics between those of a liquid and a gas. Even deeper the hydrogen enters an exotic metal-like state. The interiors of the gas giants are very hot.

No because there is nothing to land on. This is why they are called gas giants. They are made of only gas and maybe a few rocks. Also, some gas giants consist of deadly gas. Overall, it would be too dangerous to enter a gas giant, let alone try to "land" on one.

How are rocky plants different then gas giants?

Please tell me you mean Planets not Plants, that is an odd image. Rocky Planets are made mostly of Rock ie solid stuff. Gas Giants are made mostly of Gas. Most gas giants are much bigger than the rocky planets. So far most of the extra solar planets are gas giants (they are bigger so easier to find)
