No, Earth is not a gas giant. It is a terrestrial planet with a solid surface. Gas giants are planets like Jupiter and Saturn, which are primarily composed of gases such as hydrogen and helium.

Which layer acts like a giant magnet why does it attract?

The outer core of the Earth acts like a giant magnet due to the movement of molten iron within it. This movement generates a magnetic field through a process called the geodynamo effect, creating the Earth's magnetic field.


Gravity on Saturn?

The equatorial acceleration due to gravity on Saturn is 1.065g , just a little bit more than Earth's.Edit: Yes, that's what most sources seem to say, but not all. There are some difficulties such as defining where the "surface" begins. Also some sourcesmean "effective " or "apparent" gravity and that takes into account the"centrifugal" effect of the planet's rotation.In fact NASA give different values on different web pages.This is particularly irritating for Saturn because it means things "weigh"more, or less, than on Earth, depending on the definition.Its surface gravity is similar to the Earth's. Some sources say it's a bit more, others say it's a bit less.
