Which fact is true of superior planets?
The terms "inferior planet" and "superior planet" were originally used in the geocentric cosmology of Claudius Ptolemy to differentiate those planets (Mercury and Venus) that were between the stationary Earth and the orbiting Sun from those planets (Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn), which lay beyond the Sun's orbit.The terms are now used with the heliocentric model."Inferior Planets" have orbits closer to the Sun than the Earth's orbit.They are Mercury and Venus.The "Superior Planets" have orbits outside the Earth's orbit.They are Mars,Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.So, the meaning is slightly different from "Inner Planets" and "Outer Planets".
