How do the surface materials of the inner and outer planets differ?

The inner planets' surface materials differ from the outer planets because the inner planets have rocky surfaces and the outer planets have gas surfaces.


Why are the inner planets different to the outer planets?

The inner planets are all considered rocky planets in that under atmospheric layers, they have a rocky surface. The outer planets are made of gas and liquid, and are called gas giants. They have no solid surface. Also, all the outer planets have rings while the inner planets do not.


What are 3 special characteristics of the three outer planets?

The inner and outer planets are The same because The Inner planets are not made out of gas The outer planets are bigger than inners The outer planets are the coldest The Inner planets are rocky The inner planets are terrestrial The outer planets can't support life The inner planets have iron cores The outer are the furthest from the sun The outer planets haveno rocky surface


What make up the surface of the outer planets?

Very little is known about the make up of the surface of the outer planets. The outer planets are generally referred to as gas giants. While most of them are made up of mostly gasses, it is is believed that their cores are made up of liquified heavy metals.


How are the four outer planets alike?

The four outer planets are all of the type astronomers call "gas giants", and have no hard, rocky surface per se. The inner planets are all solid rocky "terrestrial" planets. Also, the four outer planets are larger in size and lesser in density than the inner planets.

Which of the outer planets has a surface more similar to the inner planets than to the outer planets?

None of them do. All the outer planets are gas planets while all the inner planets are rocky. You might be thinking of Pluto. It has a solid surface, but it is no longer considered a planet.

What makes the inner planets different from the outer planets?

The inner planets are small and rocky, the outer planets are much larger and have no solid surface, they are called the gas giants.


The first four outer planets do not have solid?

All the outer planets probably have solid cores. However, they do not havewhat we call a solid surface.Incidentally, there are only four outer planets altogether.There are only 4 "outer planets". They do not have a solid surface.


What are 3 differences between the outer and inner planets?

The inner planets are small, the outer planets are huge in comparison.The inner planets have rocky surfaces, the outer planets are gas giants.All of the outer planets have rings. None of the inner planets does.All of the outer planets have several moons, some of them quite large.

Are gas giants a surface type?

Yes because the four outer planets,Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are gas planets. They are known for their gas. The outer planets (closer to the sun) have rocky surfaces. So the outer planets have gas surfaces
