Roughly speaking, yes: the four inner planets are quite a lot denser than the four outer planets, which are gas giants. However, note that the densest planet is Earth, which is planet #3.
Yes, there is a general trend where planets further from the sun tend to have lower densities compared to planets closer to the sun. This is because closer planets experienced higher temperatures during their formation, leading to the loss of volatile compounds and the retention of denser materials.
Terrestrial planets are made of denser materials than Jovian planets. The planets were primarily formed from the left over disc of dust that orbited our sun when it first formed. The heavier elements were draw closer to the sun by gravity and the lighter ones flung further outward by their high orbital speed.
The planets closer to the Sun than Jupiter are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. So, four planets are closer than Jupiter.
Mercury and Venus are the planets that are closer to the Sun than Earth.
Planets Mercury and Venus are closer to the Sun than Earth.
The inner planets are closer to the sun than the outer planets because of the way the solar system formed. When the solar system was still a swirling disk of gas and dust, the inner planets formed closer to the center where it was hotter, while the outer planets formed in the colder regions farther away. This distribution of planets based on temperature led to the inner planets being closer to the sun than the outer planets.
"The Inner Planets" is the common term for the four planets closest to our sun.
There are 2 planets that are closer to the Sun than Earth, the planets obviously being Mercury and Venus.
There are 2 planets closer to the Sun from the Earth
They are closer to the Sun.
because they are smaller and closer to the sun
2. Mercury and Venus. All other planets are past the earth.
