Why is the atmosphere thick in the outer planets?
The outer planets have thick atmospheres because they are so big. The bigger the planet, the stronger the gravitational pull. This means that the bigger planets pull in more gasses, which creates a bigger, thicker atmosphere.
Explain why the outer planets did not lose the light gases in their atmospheres?
Outer planets like Jupiter and Saturn have stronger gravity due to their larger masses, which helps them retain light gases in their atmospheres. Additionally, the colder temperatures in the outer solar system reduce the speed of gas particles, making it more difficult for them to escape the planets' gravitational pull. These factors combined allow the outer planets to hold on to their light gases.
How do the inner and outer planets atmosphere different?
the outer planets are gaseous and the inner planets are not
Why do inner planets have thinner atmospheres than the outer planets?
An atmosphere is a layer of gas that surrounds a planet; this gas is attracted by gravity and is greater in volume depending on the strength of the gravitational field and the temperature of the atmosphere. The inner planets generally have less mass, resulting in a less strong gravitational field, and a warmer atmosphere meaning the atmosphere is thinner than the colder, larger outer planets.
Why are inner planets of solar system different from outer planets?
The inner planets, such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are rocky and dense, with solid surfaces. They are located closer to the Sun where higher temperatures prevented light gases from accumulating. In contrast, the outer planets, like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are gas giants composed mostly of hydrogen and helium. They are much further from the Sun, allowing them to accumulate these light gases and form large, gaseous atmospheres.
Which planets was formed from the light gases of the outer nebula?
Uranus

Are the outer planets made of gases?
YES
Are the inner and outer planets different?
The inner planets are all rocky planets. The outer planets are completely made up of gases. The inner planets are much smaller than the outer planets.
Why do the outer planets still have an atmosphere?
Because gases exist even at great distances from the sun. Also the large gas planets have internal heating sources emitting from their core.
What keeps the gases of outer planets from escaping?
The planet's strong force of gravity holds the atmosphere down and stops it escaping. Atmospheric gases have masses, and the Earth's atmosphere has a mass of about 1.2 kg per cubic metre.
Could you land on the outer planets?
No. The outer planets do not have solid surfaces. Those planets are made of gases held together by gravity.
How do the inner planets diffrer from the outer planets?
the inner planets made up of rocks while the outer planets are made up of gases and liquids.

What is a characteristic of all outer planets?
The outer plants are made out of gases mostly.
