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
Is the distance between inner planets less or greater than the distance between the outer planets?
The inner planets are closer together than the outer ones.
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
How does the distance between the inner planets differ from the distance between the outer planets?
As the names suggest, the inner planets are closer to the Sun than the outer planets.
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.
The four outer planets?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune (in order of distance from the sun).
Characteristics of outer planets?
The four outer planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are all much larger than the inner planets. These outer planets have no real surface, they are composed mainly of Hydrogen and helium gas, which gets thicker and thicker until the extreme pressures closer to the core of the planets change the state of the gases. The outer planets are much colder than the inner planets due to their distance from the sun, they take much longer to orbit the sun due to this distance. The outer planets are a lot larger than the inner planets.
How are planets farther from the sun different?
The "outer planets" (gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are more massive and spin faster than the inner planets. Although their distance from the Sun means they retained cold outer atmospheres, they would be larger even without these dense gaseous envelopes. The outer planets do not have to move as rapidly in their orbits to counteract the Sun's gravity, as this decreases with the orbital distance. During planetary formation, the protostellar disc would have clumped at the appropriate distance for its velocity. Given this lower speed, and the greater distance traveled, the outer planets take much longer to orbit the Sun than Earth.
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 do the outer planets revolve so slowly around the sun?
The outer planets revolve about the same speed they just have to travel a much longer distance so it takes longer.
What are the differences between the outer planets?
they are from different sizes, have different amount of satellites, and different distance from 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
Why do the outer planets in the Solar System have much longer year lengths than the inner planets?
There are two reasons. First, since they are farther from the sun they have longer orbital path. Second at a greater distance from the sun the sun's gravity is weaker, giving the outer planets a slower orbital speed.
What are the outter planets?
Inner planets are closer to the sun than the outer planets. Inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The outer planets are Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter (and maybe Pluto. The inner and outer planets are separated by a large distance and an asteroid belt. The inner planets are "rocky" the outer planets are gaseous (with the exception of Pluto.
Does a planet's distance from the sun affect it's density?
Very generally, the outer four planets are less dense than the four inner rocky planets, but it's more to do with planet type rather than their distance from the sun.
