Are the rocky planets larger or smaller compared to gas giants?
The rocky inner planets are much smaller. That's why the giants are called giants.
Are planets more likely to be gas giants or terrestrial planets?
Bigger planets are more likely to be gas giants while smaller ones are more likely to be terrestrial. This of course is not the answer to your question which is, of all planets that may exist, is there a greater likelyhood of there being terrestrial planets or gas giants?
How do the four rocky planets compare to the four gas giants size?
All four rocky planets are much smaller than gas planets.
How big is Mother Nature compared to the other planets from your neighborhood?
The planet Earth is the largest of the four rocky inner planets; it is smaller than any of the four gas giants.
How does earth's size compare to other planet?
Earth is the biggest of the terrestrial or rocky planets, but smaller than any of the gas giants.
Are the rocky planets larger or smaller compared to gas giants?
The rocky inner planets are much smaller. That's why the giants are called giants.
How do gas giants differ from the tererestrial planets?
they ar very smaller than gas giants
How do the four rocky planets compare to the four gas giants in size?
All four rocky planets are much smaller than gas planets.
How are outer planets alike?
The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are all gas giants. That is, they are huge compared to Earth, and the consist mainly of gas. They don't have a surface on which you could stand.
Are planets more likely to be gas giants or terrestrial planets?
Bigger planets are more likely to be gas giants while smaller ones are more likely to be terrestrial. This of course is not the answer to your question which is, of all planets that may exist, is there a greater likelyhood of there being terrestrial planets or gas giants?
Inner planets have large diameters like those of the gas giants?
Not in our solar system. The inner planets are smaller.
How do the sizes of inner planets compare to the sizes of gas giants?
The sizes of inner planets are generally smaller compared to the sizes of the gas giants. The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The gas giants are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
How do the four rocky planets compare to the four gas giants size?
All four rocky planets are much smaller than gas planets.
What types of planets are in the solar system?
There are two types of planets in the solar system. These are, the smaller, rocky planets, which are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, and the gas giants, which are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
What is the relative size of the inner planets?
The inner planets are smaller than the outer planets. This may be because the outer planets are called gas giants. This means that gas can accumulate in size at times, and this can be one of the situations.
Are gas planets bigger than Rocky planets?
The Gas Giants, or Jovian Planets are the outer planets of our solar system. (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) The Rocky Planets, or Inner Planets, are much smaller compared to the outer planets. (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) To answer your question, yes, the gas planets are larger than the rocky planets.Update: Since the voyager space probe, only Jupiter and Saturn are now classified as the Gas giants. Uranus and Neptune are now referred to as the Ice giants.
Is jupitre a gassey planet?
Yes. Jupiter and so are the other outer planets are called "Gass Giants". Though they're massive, they can rotate faster than the inner planets.
