The gas planets, in our solar system at least, are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, in order from least to greatest distance from the Sun. They are all found beyond the Asteroid Belt. The gas planets, or "Gas Giants" if you will, are larger and less dense than the other planets. They all have rings and several moons.

What are the planets called located furthest from the sun?
gas giants
What are the rocky planet and what are the gas planet?
As you should know, there are currently 8 planets. Rocky: Rocky Planets are planets made of hard material. Rocky planets can be another word for inner planets or planets located inside the asteroid belt in the Milky Way Galaxy. The four planets that are rocky is Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Gas: Gas planets are technically planets made of ice, dust, and gas. Gas planets can be another word for outer planets or planets located outside the asteroid belt. The four planets known as the gas planet is Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Hoped that Helped!! However, Shoemaker–Levy comet fragments collided with Jupiter's southern hemisphere between July 16 and July 22, 1994, at a speed of approximately 134,000 mph. The scars from the impacts persisted for many months.... So, some say its a gas giant, but if a comet collided with it, made plumes of ash and soil for 1000s of miles across, well... Seems like it has some surface some people won't accept.
Can gas planets have craters?
No. Gas planets do not have solid surfaces.
What is what are three characteristics of the outer planets?
The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are large in size, composed mostly of gases and liquids, and have ring systems. They are located beyond the asteroid belt in our solar system and have multiple moons.

Inner planets compared to outer planets?
The inner planets, also known as terrestrial planets, are smaller, rocky planets located closer to the Sun. They include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. In contrast, the outer planets, also known as gas giants, are larger, gaseous planets located farther from the Sun. They include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
What does the inner and outer planets have incomon?
Both inner and outer planets are part of our solar system and orbit around the sun. However, inner planets are rocky and located closer to the sun, while outer planets are gas giants and located further away.
Why can't gas leave the gas planets?

Which planets are terrstrial which planets are gas planets?
Terrestrial:Mars Gas: Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune
What set of planets have more moons terrestrial or gas?
gas planets
Why do outer planets have gas?
because the outer planets are made of gas.
What are the outer planets and how are they similar?
The outer planets are the planets that are made of gas. Each of the outer planets are mad of gas and can not hold life.
How are all the inner gas planets the same?
there are no inner gas planets only outer gas planets but they are the same because they all have rings, they are all made of gas.
