Is earth larger or smaller than all the other planets?
Of the seven other planets that orbit the sun, three are smaller than Earth and four are larger.
How do planets farther from the sun differ from that planets that are closer to the sun?
The four outer planets are gas giants - they are much larger than the four inner planets, and they consist mainly of gas - they don't have a surface on which you can stand.
Which planet is four larger planets and four smaller planets?
That doesn't make any sense. A planet is only a single body in space, not multiple ones.
Are Jupiter Saturn Neptune and Uranus bigger than terrestrial planets?
Yes, all four of those planets are larger than the terrestrial planets.
What are the main characteristics of outer 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.
How are the four outer planets alike?
The four outer planets are all of the type astronomers call "gas giants", and have no hard, rocky surface per se. The inner planets are all solid rocky "terrestrial" planets. Also, the four outer planets are larger in size and lesser in density than the inner planets.
Which planets have densities similar to earth?
The four inner, terrestrial or rocky planets all have similar densities, much higher than the four outer gas giant planets (though the outer planets are much larger and more massive).
Are outer planets or inner planets larger?
The outer planets are larger.
Which planets are larger then Earth?
In our solar system there are 4 planets larger than Earth, which are collectively known as the gas giants; these are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. There are many other planets larger than Earth in other solar systems as well.
Why are some planets referred to as the inner planets and others as the outer planets?
Because the four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are the four planets closest to the sun. These smaller planets are all inside the asteroid belt. The larger planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are outside the asteroid belt and thus called the outer planets.
