what did you notice about the inner planet compared to the other planet?
The inner planets are small rocky bodies, whereas the outer planets are gas giants, large balls of gas with ring systems and a large quantity of Moons.
How The inner planets are alike?
All the inner planets in our solar system are all terrestrial planets. They are all small rocky planets with a relatively small atmospheres when compared to the gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn or the ice giants like Neptune and Uranus. This however is not true of other stars. Many stars have large planets very small orbits.
What are 3 differences between the outer and inner planets?
The inner planets are small, the outer planets are huge in comparison.The inner planets have rocky surfaces, the outer planets are gas giants.All of the outer planets have rings. None of the inner planets does.All of the outer planets have several moons, some of them quite large.
How are Inner planets of the solar system different from outer planets?
Inner planets (up until Mars): - are mostly composed of dense rocky material with high melting points; - have small diameters; - have high tempeatures; - take few time to make a complete turn around the sun; - have few or no moons; - all have impact cracters; Outer planets: - are mostly composed of gases; - have very large diameters (compared to the inner planets); - have low temperatures; - take a long time to make a complete turn around the sun; - generally have several moons; - no impact craters known (so far since no one as made it to the rocky core of these planets).
What are the four inner planets of the solar system?
The four inner planets of the solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They are also known as the terrestrial planets because they are primarily composed of rock and metal. These planets are located closer to the sun compared to the outer gas giants.
What is the main difference between the inner planets and the outer planets?
The inner planets are smaller, and do not have the dense atmospheres of the outer planets. The four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) have warmer temperatures than the exteriors of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune).The "gas giants" have very hot lower atmospheres, caused by the intense pressure. The atmospheres are mostly hydrogen, but for Uranus and Neptune there are higher levels of water, methane, and ammonia. All of the gas giants have multiple moons and rings, the most visible being the ice rings around Saturn.they are divided by inner and outer and the outer planet are the planets that have bigger planets.
Is there a small gap in space between the terrestrials and the gas giants?
No, there is a large interval between the inner, terrestrial planets and the outer gas giants, which is filled by the asteroids. It is not a gap in the sense that it is filled with other things.

Are the inner planets large and have rocky surfaces?
The best answer to the question as stated is "no".Until recently, in the only planetary system we had any knowledge the inner planets as rocky, and that led to the conjecture that proximity to the central star would drive away most of the gas and prevent gas giants from forming there.We now know that "hot Jupiters" are surprisingly common, and it may just be a coincidence that, in the Solar system, the inner planets happen to be rocky.However, while the inner planets in the Solar system are rocky, they are not "large"; the largest of the inner planets is 5th in a system of 8 ... and it's not a close 5th, either. The smallest of the outer planets is many times larger than the largest of the inner planets.
Are the inner planets large planets made up of mostly gas?
No, those are the outer planets.
What are large planets called gas or terrestrial?
large planets are called the outer planets or the JOVIAN PLANETS which are made up of gases and viscous liquids... terrestrial planets are the inner planets! inner planets- MERCURY VENUS EARTH MARS outer planets- JUPITER SATURN URANUS NEPTUNE
Why are the outer planets call the gas giants?
The outer planets (with the exception of the dwarf planet - Pluto) are called "gas giants" for two reasons - they are GIANT (in size/mass/gravity etc.) compared to Earth and the inner solar system "rocky" or "terrestrial" planets and are composed mainly of a gaseous atmosphere (with, its hypothesized, a small rocky core at the center).
