Gas Giants differ from the Terrestrial Planets in the sense that Gas planets do not have solid surfaces, but they may have a rocky core or one that is formed from gases which were pushed into a metallic state (iron) by the severe pressure deep within the planet. The gas giants is consist mainly of lighter gases like hydrogen and helium.
