How are the inner and outer planets alike and different?

Inner and outer planets are both part of the solar system, but they differ in composition and location. Inner planets are rocky and located closer to the sun, while outer planets are gas giants and located farther away. Both sets of planets have natural satellites, but the outer planets tend to have more moons.

What makes a planet an inner planet?

They number 4 in line, Jupiter, number 5, is the 1st of the Outer Planets and Gas Giants. ----------------------------------- The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars; the outer planets are further away than these. ----------------------------------- Being close enough to the Sun that solar radiation has largely stripped it of volatiles. The outer planets have retained most of their volatiles because they are further away from the Sun.


Why inner planets are closer to the sun than outer planets?

The inner planets are closer to the sun than the outer planets because of the way the solar system formed. When the solar system was still a swirling disk of gas and dust, the inner planets formed closer to the center where it was hotter, while the outer planets formed in the colder regions farther away. This distribution of planets based on temperature led to the inner planets being closer to the sun than the outer planets.
