The "outer planets" refers to the four farthest planets from the Sun (the four largest planets, all gas giants) : Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Pluto, once considered the ninth planet, is currently classed as a dwarf planet.
Memory Aid
The mnemonic "My Very Excited Mother Just Served Us Nachos" can provide the names and order for all of the planets : "Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune".

Can you differentiate the outer planets from the inner planets?
The inner planets, which are closest to the Sun, are:MercuryVenusEarthMarsThe outer planets, which are farther away from the sun are:JupiterSaturnUranusNeptune
What order do the outer planets occur from the sun?
The order of the outer planets, from closet to the sun to furthest away from the sun, is Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, then Neptune.
Are the inner planets warmer than the outer planets?
The outer planets generate their own heat and the inner planets are warmed by the sun.
How do the inner planets travel around the sun than the outer planets?
Inner planets travel faster than outer planets
What takes long to orbit the sun inner or outer planets?
The outer planets take longer.
Can you differentiate the outer planets from the inner planets?
The inner planets, which are closest to the Sun, are:MercuryVenusEarthMarsThe outer planets, which are farther away from the sun are:JupiterSaturnUranusNeptune
Why does it take the outer planets so long to orbit the Sun?
The outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun, because they are farther away from the Sun. It make its gravitational pull weaker to the farther planets. That means that the outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun.
How are the inner planets different than then outer planets?
The inner planets are hotter because they are the closest to the sun the outer planets are the coldest because they are the farthest planets from the sun
What order do the outer planets occur from the sun?

What do outer planets have in common?
Outer planets are gas planets and they are outside the astroid belt and are further away from the sun.
How are outer planets similar to inner planets?
They are similar in that both the inner and outer planets all orbit the sun.
What is the main different between the inner and outer planets?
the inner planets are closest to the sun and the outer planets are farthest from the sun { Answered by a grade 4 student}
How do the inner planets travel around the sun than the outer planets?
Inner planets travel faster than outer planets
Are the inner planets warmer than the outer planets?
The outer planets generate their own heat and the inner planets are warmed by the sun.
Where are the outer planets located in relationship to the sun?
They follow orbital paths which, like those of the inner planets, are centered on the sun, but the outer planets, without exception, are farther from the sun than any of the inner planets is.
What takes long to orbit the sun inner or outer planets?
The outer planets take longer.
