Because the outer planets are gas giants except for Pluto. Pluto is an outer planet because it is the object (planet) that kept interfering with Neptune's orbit. Pluto is one on hundreds of thousands of meteoroids that a around the size of our moon.

What is another way you might divide the planets into two groups other than the inner planets and the outter planets?
Stony and Gas Giant. But it still divides the same.
What is the relative size of the inner planets?
The inner planets are smaller than the outer planets. This may be because the outer planets are called gas giants. This means that gas can accumulate in size at times, and this can be one of the situations.
Inner an outer planet similarities?
The inner and outer planets are The same because The Inner planets are not made out of gas The outer planets are bigger than inners The outer planets are the coldest The Inner planets are rocky The inner planets are terrestrial The outer planets can't support life The inner planets have iron cores The outer are the furthest from the sun The outer planets haveno rocky surface
What are the outter planets?
Inner planets are closer to the sun than the outer planets. Inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The outer planets are Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter (and maybe Pluto. The inner and outer planets are separated by a large distance and an asteroid belt. The inner planets are "rocky" the outer planets are gaseous (with the exception of Pluto.
What are 3 differences between the outer and inner planets?
The inner planets are small, the outer planets are huge in comparison.The inner planets have rocky surfaces, the outer planets are gas giants.All of the outer planets have rings. None of the inner planets does.All of the outer planets have several moons, some of them quite large.

What are some things in the outer planets?
gas no life and they are bigger than the inner planets
How do inner planets differ?
Inner planets differ from outer planets because they have rocky core (excepting Pluto), and the are much smaller than outer planets, which are bigger and take more time to orbit Sun than inner planets because of their location. Outer planets are farther from the Sun than inner planets.
What is the relative size of the inner planets?

Is earth the largest of all inner planets?
No Earth isn't the biggest inner planet. Venus is. Even though it is hotter it is bigger than all of the other inner planets.
What is the main difference between the inner planets and the outer planets?
The inner planets are smaller, and do not have the dense atmospheres of the outer planets. The four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) have warmer temperatures than the exteriors of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune).The "gas giants" have very hot lower atmospheres, caused by the intense pressure. The atmospheres are mostly hydrogen, but for Uranus and Neptune there are higher levels of water, methane, and ammonia. All of the gas giants have multiple moons and rings, the most visible being the ice rings around Saturn.they are divided by inner and outer and the outer planet are the planets that have bigger planets.

What are 3 special characteristics of the three outer planets?
The inner and outer planets are The same because The Inner planets are not made out of gas The outer planets are bigger than inners The outer planets are the coldest The Inner planets are rocky The inner planets are terrestrial The outer planets can't support life The inner planets have iron cores The outer are the furthest from the sun The outer planets haveno rocky surface
Why are inner planets different than outer planets?
Inner planets. are inner & outer planets. are outer

What four inner planets are larger than the outer planets?
The inner planets are smaller than the outer planets.
Why do the outer planets have more moons than the the inner planets?
because the planets are bigger and catch the sattelites as they are moving by. the inner planets are smallet and have less gravity, therefore not getting as much to catch some of the heavier sattelites. they are also the last planets to try and get them
