Jupiter and Saturn, though there is Helium and Hydrogen on Neptune and Uranus. The two buish planets are mostly menthane, which makes them blue. But Jupiter and Saturn have the most helium and hydrogen.

What is the only inner planet with no atmosphere?

Mercury is the only inner planet with no significant atmosphere. Its thin exosphere consists mainly of oxygen, sodium, hydrogen, helium, and potassium.


Why are the outer planets less dense?

They are made of less dense materials. While the inner planets are made primarily of rock, the outer planets are made mostly of hydrogen and helium.


How do the gas planets differ from the inner planets of the solar system?

The terrestrial planets are composed primarily of silicate rocks or metals. They have a solid surface. The gas giants are composed mostly of hydrogen, helium, and water existing in various physical states.


What is a terestrial planet?

A terrestrial planet, telluric planet or rocky planet is a planet that is composed primarily of silicate rocks or metals. Within the Solar System, the terrestrial planets are the inner planets closest to the Sun. The terms are derived from Latin words for Earth (Terra and Tellus), as these planets are, in a certain way, "Earth-like".Terrestrial planets have solid planetary surface making them substantially different from gas giants, which are composed mostly of some combination of hydrogen, helium, and water existing in various physical states.


What are the two main gases in the Sun?

Hydrogen and Helium . When all the hydrogen is used up , it is thought that the helium will convert into carbon, and the Sun will become a Red Giant. At this late stage it will swallow up all the inner rocky planets including Earth; but that is millions of years into the future.

Why did the inner planets lose their hydrogen and helium?

The light hydrogen and helium gasses were swept out of the inner solar system by the intense solar wind of the young sun. The outer planets retained the hydrogen and helium as the solar wind diminished with distance.

What are the inner planet mostly made of?

The inner planets are mostly made of iron and rock.


Are inner planets gas giants?

No, the inner planets are the terrestrial or rocky planets. The outer planets are the gas giant planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are mainly made up of Hydrogen and Helium gas.

Hydrogen and Helium.


Why do humans prefer to live on a rocky planet?

The cloud of gas and dust that formed the solar system was mostly hydrogen and helium. When the sun formed, however, these gases were driven out of the inner solar system. Most of the material left behind was rock, so that is what the inner planets formed from.


Why is Saturn the least dense planet in your Solar System?

Saturn is the least dense planet because it is primarily made up of hydrogen and helium, which are the two lightest elements. These elements have low densities compared to the rocky materials that make up the inner planets like Earth. Additionally, Saturn's large size and low mass contribute to its overall low density.


Why does the composition of giant gas planet different from that of the rocky inner planets?

Early in the history of the solar system the heat and solar wind from the sun drove off most of the hydrogen, helium, and other volatile from the inner solar system, leaving behind objects made mostly of rock and metal. The gas giants in the outer solar system were far enough from the sun to escape this fate.


Why are the inner planets rocky?

The strong solar wind of the young sun blew most of the hydrogen and helium out of the inner solar system. Most of what remained was rock.
