From what I understand, it's impossible for a rocky planet that big to form. That's why all the really big planets are gas giants.

Hmmm. I wonder why? I can understand there being a size limit to a gas giant, (When it gets big enough, it's not a planet, it's a star!) but I don't see a limit to how many rocks you could pile in one place?
