Inner planets (up until Mars):
- are mostly composed of dense rocky material with high melting points;
- have small diameters;
- have high tempeatures;
- take few time to make a complete turn around the sun;
- have few or no moons;
- all have impact cracters;
Outer planets:
- are mostly composed of gases;
- have very large diameters (compared to the inner planets);
- have low temperatures;
- take a long time to make a complete turn around the sun;
- generally have several moons;
- no impact craters known (so far since no one as made it to the rocky core of these planets).
