If the planet is on the opposite side of the Asteroid Belt, (away from the Sun), between Mars and Jupiter, it is an outer planet.
If it is on the inside of the Asteroid Belt; Mars, Earth, Venus and Mercury, it is an Inner planet.
Neptune is an Outer Planet. It is far away from the Asteroid Belt, on the outer side of the solar system.
