Why would the average densities of the four large outer planets be so low when compared with the average densities of the inner planets?
Because the outer planets are composed of mainly gas or ice, whereas the inner planets are composed of rock which has a higher density.
What is the inner and outer planets and contrast the two groups of planets?
The four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets. These are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The four outer gas giant planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The inner planets are smaller and have a higher average density. The outer planets are much larger, but have no real surface - just atmosphere that gets thicker as you travel inwards. The outer planets all have a ring system (the inner planets dont) while the outer planets have captured a lot more natural satellites or moons than the inner planets.

Why are inner planets different than outer planets?
Inner planets. are inner & outer planets. are outer
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
How do the inner and outer planets atmosphere different?
the outer planets are gaseous and the inner planets are not
Why is the temperature higher on these 4 inner planets than the 5 outer planets?
Because they 4 inner planets are nearer the Sun, which warms them with its heat.
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
Why do you compare outer planets to inner planets?
because inner planets are hot and outer planets are cold
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.
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
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.
