What else can I help you with?
How do you divided the inner planets and the outer planets?
inner are terestrial and outter are jovian
What is the basic used for calling inner or outer planets?
The inner planets are called, "Terran" planets after the Latin name for Earth: 'Terra'. The outer planets are called, "Jovian" planets after the name Jupiter. Jupiter??? Yeah, the Greek God Jupiter was called, "Jove" in Latin, hence 'Jovian'.
The most obvious difference between the terrestrial and the jovian planets is?
The most obvious difference between terrestrial and jovian planets is their composition. Terrestrial planets are rocky and dense, while jovian planets are mostly composed of gases and lack a solid surface. Additionally, jovian planets are typically larger in size and have extensive ring systems.
Are the Jovian planets outer planets or inner?
There are four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) and four outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune). So there are an equal number of inner and outer planets.
Compared to the terrestrial planets the Jovian planets are?
The Jovian planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) are composed of gases and pressurized liquids. Whereas, the four inner terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) are composed of rock and iron.
Is Mercury jovain?
Mercury is not a jovian planet because all planets after Jupiter and Jupiter are all jovian planets. So Jupiter, Saturn , Uranus , Neptune and the poor old Pluto that was booted from the planets are all jovian.
What sort of surfaces do the inner planets have?
The inner, or terrestrial planets are more dense than the outer planets/gas giants/jovian planets. Through a process of differentiation we find inner planets to typically consist of a molten iron core and a less dense silicate crust.
What do jovian planets not have?
Jovian Planets do not have a solid surface to stand on.
Are the 8 planets terrestrial or jovian planets?
There are 4 terrestrial planets:MercuryVenusEarthMarsThere are 4 Jovian planets (gas giants):JupiterSaturnUranusNeptuneFurthermore, all 5 dwarf planets are terrestrial:CeresPlutoHaumeaMakemakeEris
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
What are the 3 characteristics the jovian planets have in common?
Jovian planets are: -gaseous -farthest planets from the sun -largest planets
What are the inner planets sometimes call?
