∙ 8y agoThe Inner Planets areMercury,Venus, Earthand Mars. These are the four planets closest to the Sun. Although each planet is very different from each other, they do all share a number of characteristics. The main similarities are that they all have solid surfaces, are fairly similar in size, especially when compared with the Outer Planets, possess a small number of moons and take a relatively short length of time to complete an orbit around the Sun. In space terms, they are also quite close to each other. The diagram below shows the orbits of the four Inner Planets. It shows how close they are to each other when compared to Jupiter, the first of the Outer Planets.

How are planets closest to the sun different from the planets that are farther away?
The planets that are closest to the sun get more heat than the ones more farther away. The four inner planets are dense and rocky. The four other planets have small solid cores surrounded by vast atmospheres. The four inner planets have one significant satellite among them (the moon), while each of the outer planets has many satellites. The four inner planets are small, while the outer planets are massive.
Why are the inner planets closer to each other?
BEcause they smell nice or because they are. Why wouldn't they be closer to each other. I remember one time when I went to mars
Why are the orbit of the planets different?
So they don't run into each other.
Why are mercuryvenusearthand Mars inner planets?
the four inner planets (mercury, venus, earth and mars) are called the inner planets because they are quite close to the sun. where as the four outer planets ( jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptue) are a lot further away from the sun.
What is the difference between the first four planets and the last four planets?
The four inner planets are smaller than the four outer planets. The inner planets are made up mostly of iron and various types of rock. The outer planets are mostly hydrogen, helium, and ice. The inner planets each completely rotate in less than an earth day. The inner planets all rotate faster than the outer planets.
How are the inner and outer planets different from each other?
Well, the inner planets are not made up of gas like Saturn and Jupiter but Neptune and Uranus are surrounded by the gas giant
Is each planet an equal distance from one another?
sorta there are inner and outer planets the inner planets are alike and outer planets are alike to but inner and outer planets are different.
How the inner planets are similar to each other?
The four inner planets are all made of rock or are rock based but the four outer planets are all made of gas or gas based.
What kind of planets are the first four inner?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are the first four inner planets. The asteroid belt is what separates the inner and outer planets from each other. There are thousands of asteroids in the asteroid belt.
Which inner planets have rings?
None of the four inner planets have inner rings, while each of the four outer gas planets have a ring system.

What is the difference between a terrestrial planet and a gas giant?
Each of the four inner planets have a clearly defined terrain. They are different to the gas planets, which don't have a clear solid surface. The inner planets are also much smaller and less massive, yet have a higher density than the outer planets. The inner planets have fewr moons due to their smaller mass and size. As they are closer to the sun, they orbit the sun in less time and are also warmer.
How is the outer planets different from the inner planets and how are they the same?
differences: the outer planets are much bigger and some are made of gas, such as Jupiter and Saturn. the inner planets are smaller and are al solid samilarities: both are in orbit around the sun, and there are the same amount of each, yes we all know Pluto is not a planet
Why are the orbit of the planets different?
So they don't run into each other.
What is some information on asteroid belts?
The asteroid belt in our solar system, separates the inner and outer planets from each other.
Why does each planet have different facts?
planets have diffrent facts of other planets because of there size and distance from sun
