gas giants

Gas giants are large planets composed mainly of gases like hydrogen and helium, with thick atmospheres and deep, sprawling interiors. Unlike rocky planets (such as Earth), they lack solid surfaces and are characterized by their immense sizes and mass. Examples include Jupiter and Saturn in our solar system. They often have strong magnetic fields, many moons, and complex weather systems. Their extensive gaseous envelopes and relative absence of solid ground distinguish them from terrestrial planets, making them fascinating objects of study in understanding planetary formation and the dynamics of our solar system and beyond.
