How are the four outer planets alike?
The four outer planets are all of the type astronomers call "gas giants", and have no hard, rocky surface per se. The inner planets are all solid rocky "terrestrial" planets. Also, the four outer planets are larger in size and lesser in density than the inner planets.

The planet Earth is the largest of the four rocky inner planets; it is smaller than any of the four gas giants.
Are the 4 inner planets more rockey then the 4 outter?
