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.


Which of the outer planets has a surface more similar to the inner planets than to the outer planets?

Neptune has a surface more similar to the inner planets than to the other outer planets. It is primarily composed of rock and ice, similar to the composition of the inner planets, whereas the other outer planets are predominantly gas giants.


Is this true or false that the inner plants are gas giants and the outer planets are rocky?

False. The outer planets are gas giants (although they have a solid core). The inner planets are 'rocky'.


Are inner planets known as Terrestrial planets?

Yes, inner planets are known as terrestrial planets because they are rocky in nature and have solid surfaces. The inner planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, all of which have similar characteristics compared to the outer gas giants.


Are inner planets gas giants?

No, the inner planets are the terrestrial or rocky planets. The outer planets are the gas giant planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are mainly made up of Hydrogen and Helium gas.


Inner planets have large diameters like those of the gas giants?

Not in our solar system. The inner planets are smaller.


Why do inner planets have similar substances?

Inner planets have similar substances because they formed from the same protoplanetary disk of gas and dust around the young Sun, leading to similar composition of rocky material. Additionally, gravitational forces favored the accumulation of heavier elements closer to the Sun, resulting in the presence of more metallic and rocky substances on inner planets compared to outer gas giants.


How are the gas giants and inner planets similar?

Firstly they are all roughly spherical. Secondly they orbit the sun. Thirdly they spin on their axes.


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.
