Why do the inner planets rotate on their axis's slower compared to that of the outer planets?
Since the inner planets are composed mainly of rocks, they are heavier, and rotate slower.
What are some similarities of the inner and outer planets?
Inner and outer planets have some things that are in common but there mostly way different. For instants they both orbit the sun. On the other hand the outer planets are made mostly by gas, that's why they are called the gas giants. The inner planets are mostly made by rock and dust. The inner planets are called Terrestrial planets and the outer planets are called Jovian planets. The inner planets are closer to the sun, have more density, they have less moons, there about the size of Earth, and they rotate slowly. The outer planets (Jovian Planets) are farther from the sun, they have less density, they have more moons, they are large, about the size of Jupiter, they rotate rapidly, and they have more mass. These planets are alike because they both orbit the sun.
Inner an outer planet similarities?
The inner and outer planets are The same because The Inner planets are not made out of gas The outer planets are bigger than inners The outer planets are the coldest The Inner planets are rocky The inner planets are terrestrial The outer planets can't support life The inner planets have iron cores The outer are the furthest from the sun The outer planets haveno rocky surface
Which planets rotate from east to west?
Venus and Uranus are the planets which rotate from East to West.
What do the outer planets have that the inner planets do not have?
outer planets are gas giants whille inner planets are just rocky planets. that includes that outer planets have significant amount of mass than the inner planets
Why do the inner planets rotate on their axis's slower compared to that of the outer planets?
Since the inner planets are composed mainly of rocks, they are heavier, and rotate slower.
What is the characteristics of the outer planets?
All outer planets have a gaseous atmosphere and are larger than planets the inner planets it also takes them longer to rotate the sun they are typically colder and have more moons.
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 are inner planets different than outer planets?
Inner planets. are inner & outer planets. are outer
Is jupitre a gassey planet?
Yes. Jupiter and so are the other outer planets are called "Gass Giants". Though they're massive, they can rotate faster than the inner planets.
How are outer planets different from outer planets?
its not different at all they are just outer planets
Are outer planets or inner planets larger?

Do all planets except earth rotate?
All planets rotate. Even earth.
Which planets rotate on an axis?
All of the planets in the Universe rotate on an axis. They all do.
What are the outer planets and how are they similar?
The outer planets are the planets that are made of gas. Each of the outer planets are mad of gas and can not hold life.
What are 3 special characteristics of the three outer planets?
The inner and outer planets are The same because The Inner planets are not made out of gas The outer planets are bigger than inners The outer planets are the coldest The Inner planets are rocky The inner planets are terrestrial The outer planets can't support life The inner planets have iron cores The outer are the furthest from the sun The outer planets haveno rocky surface
