What else can I help you with?
Are outer planets made rock and ice?
Not really, but they probably have rocky cores, far beneath gases and liquefied gases. Also, Neptune and Uranus probably do have some "ices" in their interiors.
Why are outer planets made of gas?
Outer planets are made of gas because they formed far from the sun where it was cooler, allowing volatile gases like hydrogen and helium to condense and accumulate. The enormous gravitational forces of these planets then captured and retained these gases, preventing them from escaping into space.
what are the characteristics of a Jovian planet?
They have no solid surfaces. They are much larger than the terrestrial planets. They orbit far from the sun. They are composed of gases.
Are otter planets made out of gas?
i think the question is " are other planets made out of gas" because as far as i know there are no otter planets, although that would be cool. not all planets are made out of gas, some are gas though. neptune is a gas giant, that's just one example though
Why are the planets closest to the sun made of solids and the far planets made of gas?
The planets closest to the sun are made mostly of solids because the heat from the sun prevented lighter gases from accumulating there. The outer planets are farther away and cooler, allowing them to capture and retain lighter gases like hydrogen and helium, making them gas giants.
Why do gases have small sizes?
GAses are made up of tiny particles which are far apart from one another
Are the out planets the same as the inner planets?
No. All of the outer planets, (unincluding the dwarf planet Pluto) are all made of gas, and far larger than the inner planets.
Is Jupiter made out of gasses or rock?
gasses Jupiter is a gas giant. So far we have determined that Jupiter is all gases. however, there are speculations that there could be a small solid core of frozen gases at teh center of the planet.
Why are the surfaces of the inner planets rocky and solid yet the surfaces of the outer planets are gasous with icy centers?
The inner planets are rocky and solid because they formed closer to the sun where it was too hot for volatile gases to condense. The outer planets formed in colder regions where volatile gases like hydrogen and helium could condense, leading to their gaseous composition and icy centers.
How are uranus and neptune different from the other gas planets?
Because since they are so far away from the sun, the gases on their surfaces are frozen solid. They are definitely gas giants, but are also made of ice. Some people may even call them ice giants
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.
How did Neptune get made?
Neptune was made from an exploding nebula far off in space , in which all of the other planets , including the sun , was formed.
