Do inner planets have few or many moons?
The inner planets of our solar system have few or no moons. Mercury and Venus have none, Earth has one, and Mars has two.
Why do outer planets have more moons than inner planets?
The outer 4 planets have many more moons than the 4 inner ones. (Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Earth only have a total of three, whereas Jupiter and Saturn have more than 60 each.) The "outer planets" of our solar system (the 4 gas giants) are much larger than the "inner planets". They also have more space between their orbits, and therefore a larger number of small bodies (some of which were captured as moons). The gravitational effect of the Sun is lower, so satellites can orbit at greater distances without being destabilized.
List inner planets and why they are inner planets?
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They are "inner" because the are the first 4 planets from the Sun.
How do the massive outer planets differ from the inner terrestrial planets?
The massive outer planets are composed mostly of gas and ice, while the inner terrestrial planets are made primarily of rock and metal. Outer planets are much larger in size and have thick atmospheres, while inner planets are smaller and have thin or no atmospheres. Outer planets also have many moons and rings, while inner planets have few or no moons.

What divides the planets into inner planets and outer planetss?
the 4 inner planets are rock planets and the 4 outter planets are gas planets separated by the asteroid belt
Whos of the inner planets has the bigger moon?
The only "inner" planets or rocky planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Of the 4 only the Earth and Mars have moons. Phobos and Deimos are small rocky satellites. Our Moon is THE biggest natural satellite in this group. It is NOT the biggest in our solar system though. Jupiter (Ganymede, Callisto), Saturn (Titan) and Neptune (Triton) have bigger moons.
What are 4 characteristics that all of the inner planets share?
The inner planets, also known as the terrestrial planets, share several key characteristics. They are primarily composed of rock and metal, giving them solid surfaces. Additionally, they have relatively high densities and smaller sizes compared to the outer planets. Inner planets also have fewer moons and no ring systems, and they exhibit significant geological activity, such as volcanism and tectonics.
What are the four you inner planets?
The 4 inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. THey are considered inner planets because they are closest to the sun.
What are the general characteristics of the 4 outer and 4 inner planets?
The 4 inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are solid planets made of rock. The 4 outer planets are gas giants.
Is mars an inner or outer panet?
The first 4 planets ... out to and including Mars ... are usually considered the "Inner planets".
In our solar system 6 of the 8 planets have moons. What percentage of the planets have moons?
6/8 = 3/4 = 75 percent
