What do uranus & neptune have in common with other jovian planets ?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Jovian planets are the gas giants of our solar system, which are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

These planets have larger sizes and masses.
Jovian planets do not have solid surfaces.
They are sometimes called gas giants because they are large and made mostly of gases. Small amounts of rocky materials are only found deep in the cores of Jovian planets.
In the solar system, Jovian planets are located farther from the sun than terrestrial planets, and are therefore cooler.
Atmospheres of the Jovian planets in our solar system are made mostly of hydrogen and helium. Compounds containing hydrogen, such as water, ammonia, and methane, are also present.
All Jovian planets have numerous moons. At least 50 moons orbit Jupiter, 53 around Saturn, 27 for Uranus and 13 for Neptune.
Rings circling Saturn make it one of the most recognizable of the larger planets. However, all the larger planets have ring systems though less spectacular than Saturn's.
