Are all outer planets gaseous giants?
Yes.
What are the atmospheres of the outer planets like?
they are thick and gaseous, mostly hydrogen and helium. Most have very strong winds.
What do you call the four outer planets in our solar system?
They are called the "outer planets." But also the "gas giants" because they all have thick atmospheres and no accessible surface.
Another name for the inner planets?
The outer planets are also called Jovian planets or gas giants. These planets include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. These outer planets are gaseous with no solid surfaces and only liquid cores.
What is the main difference between the inner planets and the outer planets?
The inner planets are smaller, and do not have the dense atmospheres of the outer planets. The four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) have warmer temperatures than the exteriors of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune).The "gas giants" have very hot lower atmospheres, caused by the intense pressure. The atmospheres are mostly hydrogen, but for Uranus and Neptune there are higher levels of water, methane, and ammonia. All of the gas giants have multiple moons and rings, the most visible being the ice rings around Saturn.they are divided by inner and outer and the outer planet are the planets that have bigger planets.
Do outer planets have atmospheres?
Yes
Why are the four closest planets to the sun are of terrestrial nature and the last four are of gaseous-icy nature?
The gas giants and the terrestrial planets initially formed in similar ways, however, the powerful solar wind of the young sun stripped away the first atmospheres of the inner planets. The outer planets were less affected by this and so retained their thick atmospheres of hydrogen and helium. Today, the outer planets recieve much less heat from the sun than do the inner planets, allowing various ices to form.
Do inner planets have thicker atmospheres than outer planets?
no
What planets have atmospheres?
Inner Planets = Earth Venus Mars Outer Gas Giants = Jupiter Saturn Neptune Uranus So therefore, Mercury isn't included.
How do the inner and outer planets atmosphere different?
the outer planets are gaseous and the inner planets are not
What are characteristics of the outer planets?
made of gaseous material, craters, rings, and large families of satellite's.
Are outer planets gaseeous?
Primarily, yes. The outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are all considered to be "gas giants", with thick and extensive atmospheres. They probably have solid cores, but the nature of the core is currently unknown.
