Gas giants, aptly named for their massive size and gaseous composition, dominate our outer solar system. Jupiter and Saturn, the two largest planets, are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, much like the Sun. These giants possess thick atmospheres with swirling storms, the most famous being Jupiter''s Great Red Spot, a centuries-old hurricane.
Uranus and Neptune, though smaller, are still significantly larger than Earth and share the "gas giant" classification. However, their compositions differ, containing higher amounts of ices like water, ammonia, and methane. This difference earns them the additional label of "ice giants." Methane in their atmospheres absorbs red light, giving these planets their striking blue hues.
All four gas giants boast ring systems, though Saturn''s are the most prominent and easily observed from Earth. These rings, composed of ice and rock fragments, likely formed from shattered moons or captured comets. Additionally, numerous moons orbit each gas giant, creating miniature solar systems of their own.
