Gas Giants
Jupiter possesses a gaseous layer where, because of the Earthlike temperature and pressure, droplets may condense from the water vapor.
Uranus and Neptune may possess large oceans of hot, highly compressed, supercritical water under their thick atmospheres, though their internal structure is not well understood at this time. It is agreed that they are different from the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn—some astronomers would class them separately as 'ice giants'.

Famous quotes containing the words gas and/or giants:
“Shielded, what sorts of life are stirring yet:
Legs lagged like drains, slippers soft as fungus,
The gas and grate, the old cold sour grey bed.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount.... The world has achieved brilliance without wisdom, power without conscience. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants.”
