Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1992
The classification of the giant planet magnetospheres into two varieties is examined: the large symmetric magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn and the smaller irregular ones of Uranus and Neptune. The characteristics of the plasma and the current understanding of the magnetospheric processes are considered for each planet.

The giant planets contain the bulk of the angular momentum of the solar system and the dominant mass among the planets. The magnetosphere of the Jovian system dwarfs the Sun in size. Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune radiate considerably more energy than they receive from the Sun.

We have already seen (Sect. 1.2.2) that observation of the basic physical parameters of the planets in the Solar System led naturally to their being divided into two categories: the terrestrial planets (see Chap. 6) and the giant planets. The latter, of which there are four — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune — are characterized by large diameters ...

The result that the giant planets are composed primarily of hydrogen and helium and lighter elements can be placed on a quantitative basis for Jupiter and Saturn because of the accuracy with which relevant equations of state are presently known. Current results are consistent with solar composition for Jupiter and perhaps also for Saturn.

Physics Bulletin, 1982
The study of planets as physical objects goes back to the early 17th century, when Galileo discovered Jupiter's four main satellites and initiated the observations that led to Huyghens' discovery of Saturn's rings. But systematic work in planetary science is a comparatively recent development which has accompanied the rise of modern geophysics and ...

The giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune), also called the outer planets, are located between 5 and 30 AU from the Sun. They are large bodies, notably exceeding the terrestrial planets in size. Jupiter and Saturn are composed mostly of hydrogen-helium gases, whereas Uranus and Neptune consist of hydrogen-bearing compounds (e.g., methane,

Interiors of the Giant Planets
Science, 1981Unlike the terrestrial planets, the giant planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—have retained large amounts of the carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen compounds that were present in their zone of formation. A smaller fraction of the available hydrogen and helium was retained. The distribution and relative amounts of these components in the interiors of

Abstract The Giant Planet Systems explores the gas giants, the ice giants, their vast collections of moons, and their ring systems. By far the most massive of the Sun’s children is Jupiter, with Saturn coming in a distant second. Both planets have very deep atmospheres and small rocky cores. The gas giants also have compositions that are

Superflares From Giant Planets
Science, 1999AMERICAN ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY MEETINGAUSTIN, TEXAS-- Thales, the ancient Greek astronomer, is said to have fallen down a well while gazing at the stars and not paying attention to his surroundings. Attendees at the American Astronomical Society meeting, held here from 4 to 9 January, could hardly be accused of the same fault, as they issued dozens of ...
