In order, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Pluto was considered a planet, now its not. The four that are considered planets are gas giants--they are very cold and a great deal of their mass is made up of gasses.

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. The are called the gas giants because their marterial is mostly gasseous and they are significantly larger than the inner planets (which are solid/liquid). The outer planets also have numerous natural satellites (moons) and ring systems.
