It's important to clarify that when we talk about "distant planets" we're referring to the outer planets in our Solar System. These are:

* Jupiter

* Saturn

* Uranus

* Neptune

While Pluto used to be considered the ninth planet, it's now classified as a dwarf planet.

All of these outer planets are primarily made up of gas and ice. Here's a breakdown:

* Jupiter and Saturn: These are gas giants, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with smaller amounts of heavier elements like methane, ammonia, and water.

* Uranus and Neptune: These are ice giants, composed primarily of heavier elements like water, methane, and ammonia, in addition to hydrogen and helium. While they have solid cores, the majority of their mass is in the form of ices.

So, while they are all "distant planets" made of gas and ice, their specific composition and ratios vary.
