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.


How do the surface materials of the inner and outer planets differ?

The inner planets' surface materials differ from the outer planets because the inner planets have rocky surfaces and the outer planets have gas surfaces.


Are the 4 inner planets more rockey then the 4 outter?

Each of the four inner rocky planets have a 'rocky' terrain, a well defined solid surface. The four outer planets, the gas giants, dont have a clear surface, they are made of gas which gets thicker and thicker further into the planet. So the answer is yes.
