Why are objects in the solar system different from each other?
Our solar system consists of the sun, the planets, their moons, and a variety of smaller objects. The sun is at the center of the solar system, with other orbiting around it. The force of gravity holds the solar system together.
Why were objects that formed farther out in space smaller than the planets?
Objects that formed farther out than space are smaller than the planets because there is less matter available to form them further out from the sun. Less matter results in smaller objects, including asteroids and dwarf planets.
Are the inner planets smaller than the outer planets?
yes the inner planets are much smaller then the outer planets
What are the Sun and the eight planets together known as?
Our solar system consists of:The SunThe 8 planetsThe 5 dwarf planetsThe moons that orbit the planets and dwarf planetsThe more than 700,000 smaller objects, known as minor planets, asteroids, and comets

Who created the planets?
Nobody created the planet. It formed by the gravitational accretion of smaller objects.
