What is differences between rock planets and gas planets?

The Rocky Planets are:MercuryVenusEarthMarsPluto (considered to be rocky most of the time)The Gaseous Planets are:JupiterSaturnUranusNeptuneThe first four planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Earth) are called the inner planets which are closer to the sun and stripped of their light gasses by the sun's solar winds. The solar winds then carry the debris (elements) to where the winds tend to "die down" which is right near Jupiter. Thus, all the debris is mostly swept up by Jupiter and Saturn (which is why they appear so large), however, Uranus and Neptune are less gaseous because they are just so far away from the sun. Therefore, the first four planets are dense with a hard iron core, whereas the last four planets are gaseous and BIG.


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.

Why are inner planets also called rocky planets?

The inner planets, except earth, are made up of rocks. They have a hard surface. The earth would be one of these except we have water. The outer planets are gas giants and do not have a solid surface.


What are the inner planets and the outer planets and how do the planets in the two groups differ?

The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The outer planets (they are separated by the asteroid belt) are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The outer planets are different than the inner planets because the outer planets are not solid. They are all made up of gas. However, the inner planets are rocky and hard.


What are the rocky planet and what are the gas planet?

As you should know, there are currently 8 planets. Rocky: Rocky Planets are planets made of hard material. Rocky planets can be another word for inner planets or planets located inside the asteroid belt in the Milky Way Galaxy. The four planets that are rocky is Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Gas: Gas planets are technically planets made of ice, dust, and gas. Gas planets can be another word for outer planets or planets located outside the asteroid belt. The four planets known as the gas planet is Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Hoped that Helped!! However, Shoemaker–Levy comet fragments collided with Jupiter's southern hemisphere between July 16 and July 22, 1994, at a speed of approximately 134,000 mph. The scars from the impacts persisted for many months.... So, some say its a gas giant, but if a comet collided with it, made plumes of ash and soil for 1000s of miles across, well... Seems like it has some surface some people won't accept.
