Do rock planets or gas planets have more moons?
The gas planets have more moons. Of all the gas planets non has fewer than 14 moons. Of the rocky planets, none has more than two. Mercury and Venus have none at all.
Why do gaseous planets have a grater gravitational pull?
all the gas planets in our solar system are extremely large, so despite the low density of gas they are much heavier than the rock planets, that's why they have more pull
How do the planets in the two groups different?
The first 4 planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are called rock planets, and the last 4, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are the gas planets. The main differences between these two groups are that the rock planets are made of rock, the gas planets are made of gas, the rock planets are typically smaller than the gas planets, and the gas planets have rings.
Which of the outer planets has a surface more similar to the inner planets than to the outer planets?
Neptune has a surface more similar to the inner planets than to the other outer planets. It is primarily composed of rock and ice, similar to the composition of the inner planets, whereas the other outer planets are predominantly gas giants.
Which group of planets is more massive than the group of rocky planets?
The gas giants.
Are mercury and mars gas planets?
No, they are not, they are both rock planets.
Are the gas planets bigger or smaller than the rocky planets?
the gas planets are bigger than the rocky planets
Is gas more dense then rock?
rock is denser than gas because it is a solid
Does the asteroid belt separate the rock planets from the gas planets?
yes
Do gas planets rotate around their axes faster than rock ones?
Yes, gas planets tend to rotate faster around their axes than rocky planets. This is because gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn have less dense atmospheres and larger sizes, which allows them to rotate more quickly due to conservation of angular momentum. Rock planets like Earth and Mars have denser compositions and smaller sizes, leading to slower rotation speeds.
What planets are made of rock and gas?
All
Why are terrestrial planets smaller and denser?
Terrestrial, or mostly solid, planets are much denser than Jovian, or gas, planets. This is because they, as you may have noticed, are much closer to the Sun. They actually used to have gas surrounding them, though because of the Sun's powerful solar rays, were blown off of their surfaces. Solar rays are also gradually affecting the gas planets. Each year, 2 centimeters of Jupiter's surface is blown off.
