Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jovian planets are the gas giants, and include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto is no longer classified as a planet. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are commonly referred to as the jovian planets because they are similar in size, composition, and structure to Jupiter (also known as Jove), the largest planet in our solar system. Pluto, although once considered a planet, is now classified as a dwarf planet and is not one of the jovian planets. Option E is incorrect as it includes asteroids and other small bodies, which are not planets.
