the inner orbit faster
The planets revolve in elliptical orbits. The inner planets have orbits 230 million km or less from the Sun. The outer planets have orbits 775 million km or greater.
One major difference is their size. Pluto is significantly smaller than the solid inner planets like Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury. Another difference is their composition. Inner planets are primarily composed of rock and metal, while Pluto is composed mostly of ice and rock. Additionally, inner planets have clear and defined orbits around the Sun, while Pluto's orbit is more eccentric and tilted.
There is a collection of asteroids between the orbits of mars and Jupiter, known as the asteroid belt.
Mercury has a shortest year of the inner planets - it orbits the sun once every 87.969 Earth days.

Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are all Inner Planets. They are called such because their orbits fall between the sun and the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

the asteroid belt, which is between Mars' and Jupiter's orbits.
Inner planets are mostly rock and outer planets are mostly gas.

The inner plants. The size and distance of the outer planets means they have longer and more spaced out orbits
All the planets have direct orbits round the Sun.
They are closer to the sun because their orbits are smaller.
'Inner planets' are traditionally defined as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.This is because of a vast difference in orbital distances separating 'Inner' planets from the 'Outer' planets.It has been theorized that the Asteroid Belt, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, is the remains of a fifth inner planet that was destroyed by collisions with other minor 'Planetoids' or asteroids. and earth is cool
Mercury has a shortest year of the inner planets - it orbits the sun once every 87.969 Earth days.
The asteroid belt orbits between the rocky planets and the gas giants.
