Interior of the Planet Overview The Giant planets do
not have the same kind of layers inside that the Earth-like
planets do. Their evolution was quite different than that of
the Earth-like planets, and they have much more gas and ice
inside.

Ring System Evidence for incomplete arcs around Neptune
first arose in the mid-1980's, when stellar occultation experiments
were found to occasionally show an extra "blink" just
before or after the planet occulted the star. Images by Voyager
2 in 1989 settled the issue, when the ring system was found
to contain several faint rings, the outermost of which, Adams,
contains three prominent arcs now named Liberty, Equality and
Fraternity.
