Giant planets are a class of planets in our solar system that are primarily composed of gases and have a significantly larger mass and size compared to terrestrial planets. These planets include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Giant planets are typically located farther from the Sun than terrestrial planets and are known for their massive atmospheres, extensive ring systems, and numerous moons. Research in this area focuses on understanding the formation, composition, and dynamics of giant planets, as well as their moons and ring systems. Studies also explore the influence of giant planets on the structure and evolution of the solar system as a whole.
