∙ 14y agoA short explanation:
Small planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, their surface are rocky and they are closer to the Sun.
Large planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, are also called Gas Giants because their surface are gas.
Additional Info:
All seven planets are named after a Roman God (even Pluto).
Our home planet, Earth is not named after a Roman God.
