"The Inner Planets" is the common term for the four planets closest to our sun.
The planets closer to the Sun than Jupiter are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. So, four planets are closer than Jupiter.
The closest planet to the sun is Mercury. The order of planets is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Planets after Mars are much farther away from the sun then the Mars and the closer planets. The first four planets are called the inner planets. The last four are called the outer planets.
because they are smaller and closer to the sun
The four inner, or rocky planets, sometimes known as the terrestrial planets. These are closer to the sun and are hotter.
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.
The first four planets closest to the Sun are the four terrestial planets.
The first four planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are called inner planets because they are located closer to the sun in our solar system compared to the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). They are also known as terrestrial planets because they have solid rocky surfaces.
no the inner planets are called "inner" planets bcuz there closer
Mercury and Venus, because their orbits are closer to the Sun than Earth' orbit is.
The four inner planets, in order of closest to furthest from the Sun, are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These are the four terrestrial planets, composed of mostly rock instead of mostly gas.
Those that are closer to the Sun. It may refer either to those that are closer to the Sun than Earth (i.e., Mercury and Venus), or to the FOUR innermost planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars), which share certain characteristics.
the four inner planets (mercury, venus, earth and mars) are called the inner planets because they are quite close to the sun. where as the four outer planets ( jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptue) are a lot further away from the sun.
