Gas giant

A Gas Giant is a type of planet that can be seen in the Space stage. They cannot be visited by the UFO; according to the game, they are "too dangerous". This is probably because Gas Giants don't have a solid surface, and the atmospheric pressure would crush and destroy the UFO. However, some of them have moons that can be visited, mostly ice or lava planets. The Gas Giants come in many colors, and some have rings while others do not. Some Gas Giants appear to be tilted at an angle.

Trivia

 * Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune of the Sol System are Gas Giants. They have many moons and the "surface" is mainly gas. The huge mass of these planets makes them attract a lot of matter with gravity, this is what makes the moons. Like in Spore, some of these natural satellites of the gas giants are large enough to support life if terraformed. Two examples of these are Europa of Jupiter and Titan of Saturn. They also have the tendency to "release" small fractions of their matter in massive explosions every few dozen million years. This is what creates the rings, as well as shards of ice from broken up moons or captured comets.


 * In the Sol System, Uranus is not on its side.


 * If a gas Giant has a moon, and the moon enters the Giants shadow the moon is not eclipsed.

Twin Gas Giants Glitch
Very rarely, there is a glitch where there are 2 or more identical gas giants. This includes the moons as well, which are identical. This glitch is very rare, and it has only ever been recorded twice.
