What distinguishes inner planets and outer planets?
Inner planets have a radius orbit shorter than the orbit of Jupiter. Outer planets are all the other planets of the solar system.
What can be thought of as the dividing line between the inner planets and outter planets?
Between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter, there is the asteroid belt. This is made up of millions of small rocks that are in a direct orbit around the sun.
How are outer planets similar to inner planets?
They are similar in that both the inner and outer planets all orbit the sun.
How is Pluto not like the 4 inner planets?
Pluto is different from the inner planets in that it has not cleared it's orbit from asteroids.
What distinguish the inner and outer planets?
This is a very basic answer, but maybe it's what you're looking for. The inner planets are rocky, have no rings, and are smaller. The outer planets are large, gaseous, and have rings.
What are two similarities about the inner and outer planets?

How is a moon different to a planet?
Planets are in direct orbit around the sun, while moons are in orbit around the planets.
What are inner and outer planets What is the difference?
In our solar system; Inner planets are planets that have an orbit which lies within the asteroid belt. Outer planets are planets which have an orbit which lies outside the orbit of the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt lies between Mars and Jupiter. Therefore the inner planets would be in order away form the sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The outer planets in the same order are; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
How are inner planets and gas giants similar?
they orbit the sun and are the first four outer planets
Do inner planets move?
Yes. All planets move in orbit around their host star.
What takes long to orbit the sun inner or outer planets?
The outer planets take longer.
How are inner and outer planets the same?
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, while the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are the same in that they are spherical, the orbit the Sun in the same direction and they have an elliptical orbit.
