  1. In addition to terrestrial planets, we also have gaseous planets.
  2. There are four gas giant planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and
  3. Neptune. These planets are found in the outer solar system.
  4. They are characterized by their massiveness and gashes composition.
  5. A gas giant also known as a Jovian planet after
  6. the planet Jupiter.
  7. Gaseous giant or giant planet, is a large planet which
  8. has at least 10 times the mass of earth.
  9. So let's take a look at Jupiter.
  10. Jupiter was named after the Roman King of the gods.
  11. Jupiter is fitting of its name.
  12. With a mass of 1.90 times 1027 kg and a
  13. mean diameter of 139,822 kilometers.
  14. Jupiter is easily the largest and most massive planet in
  15. the solar system.
  16. To put this in perspective, it would take 11 earth's
  17. lined up next to each other to stretch from one
  18. side of Jupiter to the other, and it would take
  19. 317 Earths to equal the mass of Jupiter.
  20. Saturn. Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun and
  21. second largest planet of the solar system in terms of
  22. diameter, and Mass.
  23. If compared, it's easy to see why Saturn and Jupiter
  24. have been designated as relatives, from atmospheric composition to rotation.
  25. Thes two planets are extremely similar because of these factors.
  26. Saturn was named after the father of the God Jupiter
  27. in Roman mythology, Uranus, Uranus is named after the father
  28. of the Roman God Saturn.
  29. It's the seventh planet in the solar system and the
  30. third of the gas giants.
  31. It is the third largest planet by diameter, yet the
  32. fourth most massive.
  33. And lastly, there's Neptune.
  34. Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun and last
  35. of the known planets.
  36. While it is the third largest planet with respect to
  37. mass, it is only the fourth largest in terms of
  38. diameter due to its blue coloration.
  39. Neptune was named after the Roman god of the sea.
