Jovian Planets
... Also called “gas giants,” the Jovian planets occupy orbits in the outer solar system at distances ranging from 5 (Jupiter) to 30 (Neptune) times the Earth’s distance from the Sun. Unlike the terrestrial planets that make up our inner solar system—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—the Jovian planets do ...
