Sudarsky's classification of gas giants for the purpose of predicting their appearance based on their temperature was outlined by David Sudarsky and colleagues in the paper Albedo and Reflection Spectra of Extrasolar Giant Planets [1] and expanded on in Theoretical Spectra and Atmospheres of Extrasolar Giant Planets, [2] published before any successful direct or indirect observation of an ...
The term gas giant was coined in 1952 by the science fiction writer James Blish [6] and was originally used to refer to all giant planets.It is, arguably, something of a misnomer because throughout most of the volume of all giant planets, the pressure is so high that matter is not in gaseous form.

Located in the Kepler-90 system with eight known exoplanets, whose architecture is similar to that of the Solar System, with rocky planets being closer to the star and gas giants being more distant. This planet is located at 1 AU from its star, which is within the habitable zone of Kepler-90 and thus could theoretically have a habitable Earth ...
The gas giants in our solar system — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune — are much denser. This giant gas planet is as fluffy and puffy as cotton candy Skip to main content
HAT-P-12b is a H/He-dominated gas giant planet with a core mass of 11.3 +2.6 −2.1 M 🜨 and is moderately irradiated by its low-metallicity host star. [ 3 ] Therefore, HAT-P-12b is most likely an H/He-dominated planet with a core of perhaps ~10 M 🜨 , and a total metal fraction of ~15%.
Scientists say they are rethinking how the weather works after creating a 3D map of an exoplanet 900 light-years away and discovering a world with jet streams fueling wild storms.
An artist's rendering of the Oort cloud and the Kuiper belt (inset). Tyche / ˈ t aɪ k i / was a hypothetical gas giant located in the Solar System's Oort cloud, first proposed in 1999 by astrophysicists John Matese, Patrick Whitman and Daniel Whitmire of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
