What is the two main gases of the atmospheres of the outer planets?
amonia, hydrogen,
What are the two main gases found in the outer planets?
helium and hydroen
What are the two main gases that make up the inner and outer planets?
Hydrogen and Helium.
What are two major differences in the composition of the inner and outer planets?
the inner planets are rocky and warm and the outer planets are made out of gas and is cold

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).
What are the two major ways that the terrestrial planets and the jovian planets differ?
Terrestrial planets are small, rocky, and have solid surfaces, while jovian planets are large, gaseous, and lack solid surfaces. Jovian planets also have thick atmospheres composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, while terrestrial planets have thinner atmospheres with varying compositions.
Are the inner planets smaller then the outer planets?
Yes, inner planets are generally smaller in size compared to outer planets. Inner planets, also known as terrestrial planets, are made mainly of rock and metal, while outer planets, also known as gas giants, are predominantly composed of gases like hydrogen and helium. This difference in composition contributes to the varying sizes between the two groups.
What are two types of planets an be found in our solar system?
Two types of planets in our solar system are terrestrial planets, such as Earth and Mars, which are rocky and have solid surfaces, and gas giants, such as Jupiter and Saturn, which are predominantly made of gases like hydrogen and helium.
What are the two main reason why Jovian planets have much thicker atmoshperes than the Terrestrial planets?
While terrestrial planets are made of rock and have gases in the atmosphere, jovian planets are made almost entirly of gases. If an atmosphere is made of gases in a planet, then the atmosphere of the planets with more gases will be thicker.
Why are some planets referred to as outer planets?
The planets in the solar system can be sorted to two types: inner planets that are the four closer planets to the Sun, which are rocky and small. And outer planets which are the four other planets which are gaseous and very large.
The inner planets are also known as?
Older texts will refer to the four outer gas giant planets as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.However, later texts will refer to Jupiter and Saturn as the gas giants and Uranus and Neptune as the ice giants.
