"Weight" is not really a good word to use. A better term is "mass".
The outer planets all have moons, and these can be used to get a value for the planet's mass ... the orbital period of a satellite depends on the mass of the primary and the semi-major axis of the orbit. It's possible to get quite good mass values for the outer planets by studying the orbits of their moons.
What else can I help you with?
Are the inner and outer planets different?
The inner planets are all rocky planets. The outer planets are completely made up of gases. The inner planets are much smaller than the outer planets.
Are outer planets denser than smaller planets?
No. The outer planets are gas planets, which are much less dense than the inner terrestrial planets.
Are the inner planets smaller than the outer planets?
Yes, the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are smaller than the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). The outer planets are known as gas giants and are much larger in size compared to the inner terrestrial planets.
What are the distances between planets greater between the inner or outer planets?
The inner planets are closer together than the outer planets are.
What makes the inner planets different from the outer planets?
The inner planets are small and rocky, the outer planets are much larger and have no solid surface, they are called the gas giants.
Characteristics of outer planets?
The four outer planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are all much larger than the inner planets. These outer planets have no real surface, they are composed mainly of Hydrogen and helium gas, which gets thicker and thicker until the extreme pressures closer to the core of the planets change the state of the gases. The outer planets are much colder than the inner planets due to their distance from the sun, they take much longer to orbit the sun due to this distance. The outer planets are a lot larger than the inner planets.
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
What characteristics set the inner planets apart from the outer planet and name the outer planets?
The inner planets are all rocky planets, whereas the outer planets are gas giants. Pluto is the exception. The outer planets also make 99% of our planets and are outside the asteroid belt.
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
Are the outer planets much closer together than the inner planets?
No. The reverse is true.
Which planets have densities similar to earth?
The four inner, terrestrial or rocky planets all have similar densities, much higher than the four outer gas giant planets (though the outer planets are much larger and more massive).
Pluto differs from the outer planets in that?
Pluto differs from the outer planets in that it is considered a dwarf planet, not a full-sized planet like the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). It also has a highly inclined and elliptical orbit compared to the more circular orbits of the outer planets. Additionally, it is much smaller in size compared to the outer planets.
