There are four inner, or rocky planets. these are Mercury, Venus, earth and Mars. The average sun to Earth distance is how one Astronomical Unit is defined (1 AU).
The average distances of the four inner planets from the sun are as follows;

Can you differentiate the outer planets from the inner planets?
The inner planets, which are closest to the Sun, are:MercuryVenusEarthMarsThe outer planets, which are farther away from the sun are:JupiterSaturnUranusNeptune
Why are the inner planets losing heat?
They are getting farther away from the sun.
How far away from the sun are the dwarf planets?
1cm
How far is Pluto from the other planets as it orbits the sun?
How far away is Pluto from all the pther planets?
Do planets far away from the sun have less gravity Yes or no?
No.
How are the inner and outer planets alike and different?
inner are closer to the sun. outer are far away from the sun.
Can you differentiate the outer planets from the inner planets?
The inner planets, which are closest to the Sun, are:MercuryVenusEarthMarsThe outer planets, which are farther away from the sun are:JupiterSaturnUranusNeptune
Why are the surfaces of the inner planets rocky and solid yet the surfaces of the outer planets are gasous with icy centers?
There is no particular reason why the outer planets are gas and the inner planets are rock, but the outer planets have icy cores because they are all far away from the sun.
Why are the inner planets losing heat?
They are getting farther away from the sun.
What is the difference between the inner planets and outer plants of the solar system?
Location, location, location. Inner planets = Mars and inward (towards the sun); outer planets = Jupiter and outward (away from the sun).
Why are the inner planets so much smaller then the gass giant outer planets?
They believe that the inner planets had gases at one point in time, but the sun burned them away.
How far away from the sun are the dwarf planets?
1cm
How far is Pluto from the other planets as it orbits the sun?
How far away is Pluto from all the pther planets?
Why do the outer planets travel slower than the inner planets?
Because they are farther away from the gravitational pull of the sun.
Do the inner planets or the outer planets get more of the sun's energy?
the inner planets
Which inner planet is the coolest?
Mars. Because it is the inner planet that far away from sun.
Do planets far away from the sun have less gravity Yes or no?
No.
