extraterrestrial...? wait, sorry, it's 'inferior planets'.
Mercury>.>

the first four planets, closet to the sun, are called the "rock planets" these are, in order from the sun outwards : mercury, venus, earth, mars after mars are the gas giants, which are not made of rock, but gas, as the name suggests.
The order of the outer planets, from closet to the sun to furthest away from the sun, is Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, then Neptune.
The 4 Planets closet to the sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, & Mars. the inner or terrestrial planets
When a planet is closest to its sun it's called perihelion.
Very simple. We have 2 asteroid belts in our Solar System that divides the inner planets and outer planets. Very well organized and place you can tell with is the inner (closet to the sun) and which is outer (farther from the sun).
planets stay the same spped at all times ll U
"The Inner Planets" is the common term for the four planets closest to our sun.
the first 4 planets near the sun are called the inner planets or the terrestrial planets as they are made of rocks. the outer planets (jupiter, uranus, neptune and pluto) are called the outer planets or the jovian planets.. theis is because they are made up of liquids/gases.... hope it helped! thanx!! :)
It is called the solar system. Except that the sun has only 8 planets.
The inner planets
