How do the inner and outer planets atmosphere different?
the outer planets are gaseous and the inner planets are not
How are the inner planets protected from many asteroids strikes?
The atmosphere protects the inner planets the same way as for meteors.
Do only the inner planets have atmospheres?
Negative, not only do the inner planets have atmospheres, but the outer planets also have atmospheres. The masses of the outer planets are great, enough easily to hold an atmosphere. In fact it's Mercury, an inner planet, that has almost no atmosphere. True, Mercury has a less mass and the closeness to the sun make it impossible to hold on a atmosphere. As matter in fact, Mars had a atmosphere, but the solar wind had almost eaten all the atmosphere that Mars had.
Why do inner planets have thinner atmospheres than the outer planets?
An atmosphere is a layer of gas that surrounds a planet; this gas is attracted by gravity and is greater in volume depending on the strength of the gravitational field and the temperature of the atmosphere. The inner planets generally have less mass, resulting in a less strong gravitational field, and a warmer atmosphere meaning the atmosphere is thinner than the colder, larger outer planets.
Why do all the inner planets have in common?
The inner planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars are are all relatively small, they are all rocky, they all have a relatively thin atmosphere.
Are the inner planets warmer than the outer planets?
No, the inner planets are not necessarily warmer than the outer planets. While the inner planets are closer to the Sun and therefore receive more sunlight, factors such as atmosphere composition, greenhouse gases, and internal heat sources can also impact a planet's temperature. For example, Venus, the second planet from the Sun, is hotter than Mercury, which is closest to the Sun, due to its thick atmosphere trapping heat.
Is earth a inner or outter planet?
Earth is an inner planet because it has an atmosphere. Earth Rocks!
Which of the inner planets is the most gaseous?
Of the inner planets, Venus is the most gaseous given its think and toxic atmosphere. The many volcanoes that cover its surface contribute to the release of gases.
Do all inner planets have thick atmospheres?
No. Only Venus has a really thick atmosphere. Mars has only a thin atmosphere and Mercury has almost no atmosphere.
Do all inner planets have a thin atmospheric shell?
Each of the four inner planets has an atmosphere, except Mercury. Mercury is too small and close to the sun for its gravity to sustain a proper atmosphere, although a tenius and unstable exosphere it thought to exist.
None of the inner planets have what?
none of the inner planets
What is the inner and outer planets and contrast the two groups of planets?
The four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets. These are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The four outer gas giant planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The inner planets are smaller and have a higher average density. The outer planets are much larger, but have no real surface - just atmosphere that gets thicker as you travel inwards. The outer planets all have a ring system (the inner planets dont) while the outer planets have captured a lot more natural satellites or moons than the inner planets.
