What is the difference between a terrestrial planet and a gas giant?
Each of the four inner planets have a clearly defined terrain. They are different to the gas planets, which don't have a clear solid surface. The inner planets are also much smaller and less massive, yet have a higher density than the outer planets. The inner planets have fewr moons due to their smaller mass and size. As they are closer to the sun, they orbit the sun in less time and are also warmer.
What is planet mass all of the planets?
There is no average mass because most planets are not alike. Yes, there's is no "average" planet, but there is still a mathematical average value for their mass. Someone might like to do the math.
Does the escape velocity on a planet depend upon its density or mass?
No, its depends on the planets gravitational pull
What are three ways that planets like mercury is different from a planet like neptune?
The four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets. These are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. These have much smaller diameters than the outer gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) The inner planets have higher densities than the outer planets, despite being smaller and much lower in mass. The inner planets have a clearly defined surface. The inner planets are warmer and are much closer to the sun. The closer to the sun the planet is, the shorter its orbit period.
What are the primary characteristics of a inner planets?
Inner planets are those that are closest to the sun. Mars is reddish due to weathered rocks on its surface that contain iron oxide, planet Earth can support life, Venus has a surface covered by an atmosphere that is full of dense clouds and Mercury has many craters and a weak magnetic field.
The two inner planets most alike in size mass and density are?
Venus and Earth
What are some similarities of the inner and outer planets?
Inner and outer planets have some things that are in common but there mostly way different. For instants they both orbit the sun. On the other hand the outer planets are made mostly by gas, that's why they are called the gas giants. The inner planets are mostly made by rock and dust. The inner planets are called Terrestrial planets and the outer planets are called Jovian planets. The inner planets are closer to the sun, have more density, they have less moons, there about the size of Earth, and they rotate slowly. The outer planets (Jovian Planets) are farther from the sun, they have less density, they have more moons, they are large, about the size of Jupiter, they rotate rapidly, and they have more mass. These planets are alike because they both orbit the sun.
What do the outer planets have that the inner planets do not have?
outer planets are gas giants whille inner planets are just rocky planets. that includes that outer planets have significant amount of mass than the inner planets
Which planets have density?
All of them. Anything with mass has density.
What is a inner planer?
An inner planet is mostly made of iron and has more mass than outer planets, outer planets are mostly made of gasses, makeing them have less mass. The inner planets are the planets between the asteroid belt and the sun
Which of the inner planets have the greatest mass?
Earth
What is the difference between a terrestrial planet and a gas giant?
Each of the four inner planets have a clearly defined terrain. They are different to the gas planets, which don't have a clear solid surface. The inner planets are also much smaller and less massive, yet have a higher density than the outer planets. The inner planets have fewr moons due to their smaller mass and size. As they are closer to the sun, they orbit the sun in less time and are also warmer.
What inner planet has great mass?
Jupiter has great mass, but it's not an inner planet. Earth has most mass of the inner planets, but far less than Jupiter.

Why can't you determine the size of the planets?
But you CAN determine the size of the planets: in diameter, overall mass, and in density.
How are the inner and outer planets different?
There are a lot of differences between the inner and outer planets. First of all, they inner planets are also known as the "Rocky planets". THey are rocky, hence their name "Rocky planets". And the outer planets are also known as "Gas Giants." THey are mainly composed of gas, hence their name, "Gas Giants." Another difference is their mass. The outer planets have greater mass than the inner planets. In other words, they are heavier.The inner planets follow orbital paths which, like those of the outer planets,are centered on the sun. But the inner planets, without exception, are nearerto the sun than any of the outer planets are.
What are theĀ mainĀ characteristicsĀ ofĀ outerĀ planets?
The four outer planets - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune - are gas giants. Compared to the four inner planets:* They are much larger. * They have a much larger mass. * They consist mainly of gas. No surface where you could stand on. * The have a fairly low density.
