The rotational period of the inner planets is much faster than the rotational period of the outer planets. The rotation of some planets takes years to complete.

What is the difference of The rotational period of the inner and outer planets?

Rotational time of the planets is random (the length of the planet's day), but the outer planets do spin faster than the inner planets.

Why do you compare outer planets to inner planets?

because inner planets are hot and outer planets are cold


What is the difference between planets that rotations time are shorter than earth to planets rotation time that are longer than earth?

The outer planets all rotate faster than the inner planets. Each of them has a rotational period shorter than an Earth day. All of the inner planets have rotational periods longer than one Earth day. The outer planets are mostly made up of hydrogen, helim, and ice, and they are much larger than the inner planets which are mostly iron and various types of rock.


How the sizes of the inner planets compare to the sizes of the gas giant planets?

The inner planets are smaller than the gas giant (outer) planets.


What is the difference of the rotational preiod of the inner and outer planets?

There isn't any relatonship between the orbital distance of the planet, and its rotational speed.


How do the sizes of the inner planets compare to the sizes of the gas giant planets?

inner planets are small and outer planets are big and cold and gas giants.


How does the temperature of the inner planets compare to the temperature of the outer planets?

What is the rotational period of inner planets?

They are all different. Earth is fastest, at 23 hours 56 minutes; Venus is slowest, at 243 days. (In fact, the "day" on Venus is longer than the "year"!) There really isn't any relationship between the orbital distance and rotational period.


Which planets have a short revolution period inner or outer?

Inner


Are inner planets large or small?

The inner, or Terrestrial planets are very small in comparison to the outer, or Jovian planets. The smallest Jovian planet, Uranus, is 14.5 times larger than the largest Terrestrial planet, Earth.
