Outer Planets. Jun 24 2009 The outer planets are so much larger than the inner planets that they make up 99 percent of the mass of the celestial bodies that orbit the Sun. Jupiter has more than 60 moons including the four largest the Galilean moons. The four outer planets or giant planets sometimes called Jovian planets collectively make up 99 of the mass known to orbit the Sun. Their compositions are mostly gases such as hydrogen and small amounts of rocky material mostly at their cores.
Gas giants are large planets that contain more than 10 times the mass of Earth they are also known as the Jovian or Outer Planets. The inner planets in order of distance from the sun closest to furthest are Mercury Venus Earth and Mars. The outer planets have a lot of atmosphere. At the center is a rocky core.

It adds Kerbalized versions of Saturn Uranus Neptune and Pluto just like real-life.
Jupiter by far the largest planet in the solar system has bands of different colored clouds and a long-lasting storm called the Great Red Spot. It adds Kerbalized versions of Saturn Uranus Neptune and Pluto just like real-life. Jupiter is the largest while Neptune is the smallest. Characterized by thick atmospheres and cold temperatures. This is a really fun hands on unit to help kids learn while having fun. It is known as a gas giant because it is made up mostly of gases hydrogen and helium.
