No. They are much greater.
distances are greater between outer planets
The inner planets are closer together than the outer planets are.
The distance between the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) is comparatively smaller than the distance between the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) in our solar system. The inner planets are closer to the Sun and each other, while the outer planets are much farther apart due to the gap between the terrestrial and gas giant planets.
The distances between inner planets are relatively close compared to the distances between outer planets. For example, the distance between Earth and Venus is around 25 million miles on average, while the distance between Earth and Mars can vary from 34 million to 250 million miles due to their elliptical orbits.
The planets revolve in elliptical orbits. The inner planets have orbits 230 million km or less from the Sun. The outer planets have orbits 775 million km or greater.
The distance between inner planets is much smaller compared to the distances between outer planets. Inner planets such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are relatively close to each other, while outer planets like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are much farther apart. This is due to the difference in their orbits and the spacing in the solar system.
The inner planets listed in order from closest to the sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They are called the inner planets because they are all within 1.52 AU of the Sun, whereas the Jovian planets are at a distance of 5+ AU. One AU is equal to the average distance between the Sun and the Earth or 93,000,000 miles.
The distances between the inner planets is smaller than the distances between the outer planets.
The main difference between the orbits of inner and outer planets is their distance from the Sun. Inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have shorter orbits and are closer to the Sun, while outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have longer orbits and are farther away from the Sun. Additionally, outer planets are larger and predominantly composed of gas and ice, while inner planets are smaller and have rocky surfaces.
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have shorter orbits and faster speeds, completing their orbits in less time than the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). The inner planets are closer to the sun, so they experience stronger gravitational forces that cause them to orbit more rapidly, while the outer planets move more slowly due to their greater distance from the sun.
