What is another word for outer planet?
Pronunciation: [ˈa͡ʊtə plˈanɪt] (IPA) 
The term "outer planet" is typically used to refer to the four planets in our solar system that orbit beyond the asteroid belt: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. However, there are several other synonyms that can be used to refer to these distant worlds. Some of these include "gas giants," which reflects their predominantly gaseous composition, and "Jovian planets," due to their resemblance to Jupiter. Another common term is "ice giants," which is used specifically to refer to Uranus and Neptune due to their icy mantles. Lastly, some scientists refer to these planets as "trans-Saturnian planets," to emphasize their position beyond the orbit of Saturn.
