The first four are the smaller `Rocky` planets, then the last four are known as the 'gas giants'. The gas giants are further out from the sun, with Neptune being the furthest planet away from our sun (in our solar system).
Pluto is further out still, but since 2006 it has been downgraded to a 'Dwarf Planet', so is no longer a `planet`. There have been a few other dwarf planets discovered that are even further out than Pluto, but of similar size, such as Makemake and Sedna.
What else can I help you with?
Does the diameter of the planets get smaller the further they get from the sun?
No.
Do the planets look smaller than the sun because they are further away?
No. Planets look smaller than the sun because they actually are smaller.
What do outer planets have in common?
Outer planets are gas planets and they are outside the astroid belt and are further away from the sun.
Why do the planets closet to the sun move faster than planets that are further?
they have a greater distance to travel
The planets look smaller than the sun because they are further away?
The planets appear smaller than the sun because they are much smaller in size compared to the sun. Even though they may be further away, it is primarily their smaller size that makes them look smaller in the sky.
How and why does the period of revolution change as planets get further away from the sun?
Caca
Which planets are colder than earth?
All of the planets which are further from the sun; Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Why is the temperature higher in the inner planets than the outer planets?
Planets closer to the sun will receive more of the suns energy per unit of area on their surface than planets further from the sun, so will generally be hotter.
What is the force that keeps the planets from moving closer or further from the sun?
centripetal force.
Why do the further planets have longer years and lower temperatures?
The further planets have longer years because their orbits are farther away from the sun, so it takes them longer to complete one orbit. The lower temperatures are a result of receiving less heat and light from the sun due to their distance, making them colder compared to the planets closer to the sun.
Do planets tend to have more earth days the further they are from the sun?
Yes, planets that are farther from the sun have larger orbits and it takes then longer to revolve around the sun. Therefore, they have more earth days.
Does the sun have the same pull on the other planets?
The further the planet is from the sun, the weaker the gravitational pull. Outer planets even move through space much slower than inner planets due to this.
