The outer planets are made up of what gases?
The outer planets are made up of mostly hydrogen and helium, with small amounts of water, ammonia and methane. The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
What is Neptune's lithosphere?
Neptune's lithosphere is a rigid outer layer of rock that encompasses its solid surface. It is composed of a mix of water ice, ammonia ice, and silicate rock. Due to the extreme cold temperatures and high pressure on Neptune, the lithosphere likely behaves more as a thick, slushy layer rather than a solid surface like those of terrestrial planets.
Which of the outer planets has a surface more similar to the inner planets than to the outer planets?
Neptune has a surface more similar to the inner planets than to the other outer planets. It is primarily composed of rock and ice, similar to the composition of the inner planets, whereas the other outer planets are predominantly gas giants.
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.
How do the surface materials of the inner and outer planets differ?
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have rocky surfaces composed of silicate minerals and metals. The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have gas surfaces, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. Additionally, outer planets may have icy surfaces due to the presence of water and other ices.
Why do the outer planets spin faster than the inner ones?
The outer planets are composed mostly of gases, which do not have a solid surface like the inner planets. This lack of solid surface allows the outer planets to rotate more quickly, as there is less resistance for their rotation. Additionally, the outer planets have more mass, which also contributes to their faster rotation.
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.
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
What is the surface of the outer planets made of?
it is made up of gas and liquids.
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.
What are the outer planets mostly made from?
Gasses and ice . (:
Of what substance are the outer planets mostly composed?
The outer planets are mostly composed of gasses and ice. The inner planets are mostly composed of iron and rocks. Hope you are a Twilight fan because those ooks are really good. Happy Science! now please enjoy the following ads!:
