Are Gas Planets Solid

Do gas planets have any solid?

A gas giant is a large planet mostly composed of helium and/or hydrogen. These planets, like Jupiter and Saturn in our solar system, don’t have hard surfaces and instead have swirling gases above a solid core.

Does gas planets have a surface?

Unlike rocky planets, gas giants do not have a well-defined surface – there is no clear boundary between where the atmosphere ends and the surface starts! The gas giants have atmospheres that are mostly hydrogen and helium.
