The farther away from the sun, the farther apart the orbits of the planets become (the planets farther away from the sun are more spaced out).
The average distance between Mercury and Venus, the two closest planets to the sun, is about 0.779 au.
The average distance from Mars to Jupiter, the two planets in the middle, is about 5.32 as.
The average distance from Uranus to Neptune, the two planets farthest from the sun, is about 33.2 au.

Is Pluto closer to the sun?
Pluto is farther from the sun than any of the 8 major planets. There are other dwarf planets farther from the sun than Pluto though.
Why do different planets have different length orbits?
Different planets have different orbit lengths because of their distance from the sun. Planets closer to the sun have shorter orbits, and planets farther away have longer orbits.
Which planets have a greater period than one earth year those closer to the sun than to the earth or those farther from the sun than from the earth?
The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer it takes to revolve around it.
Why is the temperature higher on other planets?
IT depends, if a planet is closer to the sun the temperature is high. Take Mercury for example it is very hot due to its location near the sun. However planets farther away are much cooler.
How does a year on earth differ with other planets?
A year on Earth is longer than it is on two other planets, and shorter than it is on the remaining five. The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer its year is.
How do planets farther from the sun differ from that planets that are closer to the sun?
The four outer planets are gas giants - they are much larger than the four inner planets, and they consist mainly of gas - they don't have a surface on which you can stand.
Is Pluto closer to the sun?
Pluto is farther from the sun than any of the 8 major planets. There are other dwarf planets farther from the sun than Pluto though.
Will a planet or comet be moving faster in its orbit when it is closer to or farther from the sun?
Planets and comets move faster when they are closer to the sun.
Will a planet or comet be moving faster in it orbit when it is farther from or closer to the sun?
Planets and comets move faster when they are closer to the sun.
Why does the sun look different from other planets?

Are the inner planet farther from the sun than the outer planets?
no the inner planets are called "inner" planets bcuz there closer

Their farther awat from the sun
How does the distance between the inner planets differ from the distance between the outer planets?
As the names suggest, the inner planets are closer to the Sun than the outer planets.
