What characteristics distinguish inner plants from outer planets?
Mainly, they are closer to the Sun, hence the name. Also they are smaller and therefore have much thinner atmospheres, so they show their rocky exteriors, hence they are known as the rocky planets.
Do the gas giants have thinner atmosphere than the terrestrial planets?
No. As the name gas giant implies, these planets are made largely of gas. They have extremely thick atmospheres.
Why planets nearer to sun is smaller and farther to sun is larger?
Initially the sun was surrounded by a disk of gas, it was probably denser towards the middle. The planets formed from this gas. A small fraction of the gas could condense to form rock and metal, which then sank to the centre of the gas planets. The inner planets have had their gas blown away by the solar wind, leaving only the rocky core, perhaps with a thin atmosphere. The Middle planets (Jupiter and Saturn) have kept all their gas and so are much larger. The Outer planets (Uranus, Neptune) formed from part of the original disk that was thinner and so they are somewhat smaller than Jupiter.Beyond Neptune their are only icy remenants, In that region was beyond the main disk that formed the solar system there are only very small (dwarf) planets there.
What makes the inner terrestrial planets unique?
The inner terrestrial planets, including Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are unique in several ways. They are closer to the Sun and have shorter orbital periods compared to the outer planets. They also have solid, rocky surfaces and higher densities. Additionally, the inner terrestrial planets have thinner atmospheres, with Mars having a very thin and mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere, while Earth has a thick atmosphere that supports life.
What part is the thinner and denser part of the Earth's crust?
The continental crust is lighter, older, and generally thicker than the oceanic crust.
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.

Which is smaller the 14G or 16G for the horseshoe piercing?
16gauge is smaller. The larger the number, the smaller(thinner) the gauge
What is the difference in an iPod and an iPod Nano?
Nano's are thinner and slightly smaller
Do thinner people have smaller bones than bigger people?
yes
Is the iPad 2 smaller than the first iPad?
No just thinner.
What is the difference in sound of drums with goat vs cow rawhide?
Goat is thinner and generally used for smaller drums such as 5"-12" drums or tom toms. Cow is generally thicker and used for larger drums, due to the deeper tone it gives off.
Do the gas giants have thinner atmosphere than the terrestrial planets?
No. As the name gas giant implies, these planets are made largely of gas. They have extremely thick atmospheres.
Is mars crust smaller in the north than the south?
The crust is thinner in the north.
Does it matter how much horsepower a lawn mower has or are they all about the same?
More horsepower means a faster mower that cuts better at higher speeds. Lower horsepower is generally better for smaller yards or thinner grass.
Why is air thin on earth?
Planets generally retain an amount of atmosphere that their gravitation field can hold, against the tendency of a gas to leak away into outer space. Thus, the atmosphere of the Earth is denser than that of Mars, but thinner than that of Jupiter.
Which is thinner 24 gauge floral wire or 30 gauge floral wire?
Bigger guage number = smaller diameter wire. 30 guage is thinner
