There are a lot of differences between the inner and outer planets. First of all, they inner planets are also known as the "Rocky planets". THey are rocky, hence their name "Rocky planets". And the outer planets are also known as "Gas Giants." THey are mainly composed of gas, hence their name, "Gas Giants." Another difference is their mass. The outer planets have greater mass than the inner planets. In other words, they are heavier.
The inner planets follow orbital paths which, like those of the outer planets,
are centered on the sun. But the inner planets, without exception, are nearer
to the sun than any of the outer planets are.

What is the main different between the inner and outer planets?
the inner planets are closest to the sun and the outer planets are farthest from the sun { Answered by a grade 4 student}
How are the compositions of the inner planets and outer planets different?
A basic, simplified answer is: The inner planets are mainly rock with iron cores. The outer planets are mostly gas, or liquefied gases.
What are the inner planets and the outer planets and how do the planets in the two groups differ?
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The outer planets (they are separated by the asteroid belt) are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The outer planets are different than the inner planets because the outer planets are not solid. They are all made up of gas. However, the inner planets are rocky and hard.
