What keeps the gases in the gas giants from escaping?
Gravity, combined with low surface temperatures.
What aspect of gas giants is most reasonable for low temperatures?
Not all gas giant planets have low temperatures (most exoplanets are hot "jupiters"). In our solar system the relatively low temperature are a result of the distance they are from the Sun.
Why would the gas giants be made of gas when they are so cold?
The gas giants are composed of hydrogen and helium, which can remain in a gaseous state at extremely low temperatures, even lower than thous found in the atmospheres of the gas giants. In reality, though, most of the volume of the gas giants is not gas. Deep within the atmospheres of these planets the enormous pressure renders the hydrogen and helium into a supercritical state, which is characteristics between those of a liquid and a gas. Even deeper the hydrogen enters an exotic metal-like state. The interiors of the gas giants are very hot.
Which kinetic molecular theory assumptions fail at low temperatures?
At low temperatures it is assumed that the volume of a gas(an ideal gas) is zero and also they show no attraction or repulsion. it is incorrect.
Conditions to liquify gas?
Low temperatures and/or high pressures.

Do temperatures decrease tremendously from the outer to inner layer of the gas giants?
No. The temperature usually increasesgreatlytowards the interiors ofthe gas giants.
What type of stars have high absolute magnitude but low temperatures?
Red giants.

For what reason did the inner planets not collect gas like the gas giants did?
The inner planets did not collect gas like the gas giants did because of their closeness to the Sun. The high temperatures allow for rocky, solid surfaces to form.
Conditions to liquify gas?
Low temperatures and/or high pressures.
Why are the temperatures of the gas giants colder than those of the inner planets?
Because they are further from the sun.
Under which conditions does a real gas behave most like an ideal gas?
During low pressure, and low temperature conditions
Substances that can be transformed to a gas at relatively low temperatures are termed?
volatile
What aspect of gas giants is most responsible for their low tremperatures?
Distance from the sun.
