What divideds the inner planets?
gravity
How do the inner planets differ from the outer?
The outer planets are mostly composed of gases and the inner planets are mostly made of rock, metals.
Why do the inner planets have fewer moons?
The inner terrestrial planets are far less massive than the giant outer planets and therefore have weaker gravity.
What 3 ways do inner planets differ from outer planets?
The inner planets are smaller and rockier than the outer planets which are made mostly of gases. Plus they are on different sides of the asteroid belt.
Why do the outer planets have more moons than the the inner planets?
because the planets are bigger and catch the sattelites as they are moving by. the inner planets are smallet and have less gravity, therefore not getting as much to catch some of the heavier sattelites. they are also the last planets to try and get them
Do the inner planets have gravity?
Yes. All planets have gravity. Earth is one of those inner planets.
Which inner planet has enough gravity to hold on to most gases?
I think it is Venus or Earth.
What are outer planets made off?
I think you mean of? Anyways if so, they are made up of gases. Only the outer planets are able to have gases because its cool enough there. Inner planets get more sun so its too warm for gas planets in the inner part. Hope this helped.
What divideds the inner planets?
gravity
Are the inner and outer planets different?
The inner planets are all rocky planets. The outer planets are completely made up of gases. The inner planets are much smaller than the outer planets.
How do the inner planets differ from the outer?
The outer planets are mostly composed of gases and the inner planets are mostly made of rock, metals.
How do the inner planets diffrer from the outer planets?
the inner planets made up of rocks while the outer planets are made up of gases and liquids.
What reasondid the inner planets not collect gas like the goants did?
The inner planets are closer to the sun, so they are warmer. That means that the gas molecules haVe enough energy to escape the gravitational field of the planet. Jupiter is made mostly of hydrogen gas which is very light, but it is also very cold, so the molecules don't move around very fast and cannot escape the gravity of Jupiter. The other gas planets are even colder. If you look at the gases that ARE on the inner planets, you will find that they are generally heavier, like nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide so their molecules cannot gain enough speed to escape the gravity of the planet.
What force holds inner planets tightly to the sun?
Gravity :) (Gravity also holds the outer planets tightly to the Sun.)
Why do the inner planets have fewer moons?
The inner terrestrial planets are far less massive than the giant outer planets and therefore have weaker gravity.
How are the compositions of the inner planets and outer planets different?
A basic, simplified answer is: The inner planets are mainly rock with iron cores. The outer planets are mostly gas, or liquefied gases.
What force holds inner planets tighter to the sun?
Gravity.
