The orbits of the four inner planets are much closer, all orbiting the sun within ¼ billion km. The outer planets are more spread out, but are much larger in size. Their distances roughly double each time as you go out from Jupiter.
Average distances of inner planets from sun;
Mercury, 57,909,175km
Venus, 108,208,930km
Earth, 149,597,890km
Mars, 227,936,640km
Average distances of outer planets from sun;
Jupiter, 778,412,010km
Saturn, 1,426,725,400km
Uranus, 2,870,972,200km
Neptune, 4,498,252,900km
The inner planets are considerably smaller than the four outer planets. The inner planets diameters range from 4880km (Mercury) to 12742km (earth, while the outer planet diameters range from 49533km (Neptune) to 142985km (Jupiter - the largest).
The inner planets have much higher densities do to them being made up of solids. The large outer planets are made up mostly of gasses making them much less dense. The outer planets are larger making them attract more dust and gas.
Saturn is the least dense planet, being less dense than water (0.68g/cm3). The other gas giants are less dense than the rocky planets. Mars is the least dense rocky planet while Mercury is so dense that it weighs more than any of Jupiter's moons even though it is smaller. Earth is the densest planet (5.5g/cm3) because of gravitation compression. Mercury's high density arises from it's massive core (42% of it's volume compared to Earth's 17%)
The rocky inner planets are more dense than the outer planets, which are made up mostly of gas and ice.

These distances compare from a long distance but one that is not nearly as far as the distance between the outer planets.
The distances between the inner planets is smaller than the distances between the outer planets.
We measure distances between celestial objects (such as suns, planets, and galaxies) by a unit of measurement called "AU" which stands for, Astronomical Unit. One AU is the equivalent to 93 million miles, which is roughly the distance from earth to the sun. Let's compare that to the next closest star to us, Alpha Centauri, which is 4.4 light years away, or about 271,930 AUs! Distances are Immense.
The inner planets are closer together than the outer planets are.
It varies. The planets move in their orbits at different distances from the sun and at vaying speeds. The distances between them is constantly changing.
These distances compare from a long distance but one that is not nearly as far as the distance between the outer planets.
The distances between the inner planets is smaller than the distances between the outer planets.
The distances between the inner planets is smaller than the distances between the outer planets.
They both use the astronomical unit or it can be called AU for short
The distance between stars are much greater than distances between objects in our solar system
The distance between planets are measured in millions of kilometers while the distance between solar systems are measured in light years while the galxies and the universe are measured in AU (astronautical units)
No. They are much greater.
distances are greater between outer planets
The speed of light is normally used to tell the distance between planets. The distance between cities is measured in miles.
The distances between the planets vary all the time since they all orbit the Sun at different rates.
The distances between planets depend on where in their orbit they are.
Scaling down the distance between planets is not feasible. The distances between planets in our solar system are vast, and scaling them down would require compressing the entire solar system. Additionally, altering the distances between planets would disrupt the delicate gravitational balance and have catastrophic consequences for the solar system as a whole.
