What is the main reason you could not land on outer planets er planets?

The outer planets are gas planets


Could you land on the outer planets?

No. The outer planets do not have solid surfaces. Those planets are made of gases held together by gravity.


Why do think a spacecraft would not be able to land on any of the outer planets?

The outer planets are gas giants, made mostly or entirely of gas, so either there is no surface to land on, or even if there is, it lies underneath such a large amount of atmosphere that the atmospheric pressure would crush any spaceship that tried to land there. However, the outer planets also have lots of moons, which would be very suitable places for spacecraft to land.


Can you land on the moons of the outer planets?

Currently, technology is not at the point where devices carrying humans can reach other planets. Our moon is the farthest a human has ever been from Earth. However, if this technology ever develops farther, we could theoretically land on some of the outer planet's moons. Io, for example, is one of Jupiter's moons. It is made of solid rock and is therefore sturdy enough to land a spacecraft on.


What planet would be the most impossible planet to land on?

In order to land on a planet, it has to have a solid outer crust. The only planets in the solar system with a solid outer core are the 4 inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars). The planets outside the Asteroid Belt are composed primarily of gas, which would make any landing impossible on those planets.


How do the inner planets differ from the outer planets?

The inner planets are solid and aircrafts can land on them. Their temperatures are higher because the are closer to the sun. The outer planets have colder temperatures and less sunlight because they are farther away from the sun. The outer planets are also called the Gas Giants because they are made out of gas. Inner Planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars Outer Planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune Dwarf Planets: Pluto, Ceres, eris, Makemake, Haumea


What planets can you land on?

The only planets you can land on is Earth which we live and Mars because it has an atmosphere, the moon you can land on but no atmosphere. You cannot land on Mercury because its too close to the sun you will burn or freeze to death, you cannot land on Venus because its so hot and has a thick atmosphere and you would last a few minutes before you get crushed. You can't land on the 4 outer planets because they are just gas giants. Pluto is also a gas giant but is not classified as a planet anymore.


Does asteroids hit planets?

How the planets contribute to land formation?

Planets play no role in land formation of the earth


What are some land features of outer space?

Some notable land features in outer space include rocky planets like Mars and Mercury, cratered surfaces on the Moon, icy moons like Europa with subsurface oceans, and unique formations like the Valles Marineris canyon on Mars and the rings of Saturn.


When did the voyager land on Saturn?

The Voyager probes were deep space probes, sent to scout out the outer planets and deep space, so they never really "landed" on any of the planets although voyager I was sent first voyager II overtook it and encountered Saturn on august 1981.
