Planets compositions2/1/2024 Just like the Earth, gas giants also have wind bands.Saturn is known as the “ringed planet.” However, the other three gas giants also have their own sets of magnificent rings.It is followed by the previous record-holder Jupiter which has 79. With 82 moons (so far), Saturn holds the record for the most number of natural satellites known. Moons are abundant among gas giant planets.It is nearly 11 hours on Saturn, and about 17 and 16 Earth hours on Uranus and Neptune respectively. While a day on our planet lasts 24 hours, a day on Jupiter is only about 10 hours.The four gas giants in our solar system rotate relatively faster than the Earth and other terrestrial planets. Saturn is also bigger by more than nine times while Uranus and Neptune measure around four times across. In comparison, Jupiter’s diameter is roughly 11 times that of the Earth.
