Want this question answered?
I think the question is probably about "light elements".The inner planets are relatively warm and small. This means they have notbeen able to keep the lightest elements, hydrogen and helium, as gases.
Heavy elements.
They are completely different stars are made of hydrogen and helium while planets are made of various elements
Mainly hydrogen and helium. The reason for this is simply that these are the most common elements in the Universe.
Yes such as carbon dioxide, nickel nitrogen, sulphuric acid, Iron, and boiled water morphed in with the surfice.

Light Spectrum Analysis. Different elements reflect different wavelengths of light. Simply put if you look at th different colors of light that is reflected from something you can determine the basic elements it is composed of.
Heavy elements.
Because they are primarily made of light elements, and ices, without much of a rocky core.
Hydrogen and helium
Planets are made up of many different particles. Such as iron, rock, metal, lighter rock elements.
i am doing a class worksheet, and i have a question what are the interior planets? it kinda surprised me that you guys dont have it answered.. but it will really help me out if you did. thanks.

The inner planets Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are small, heavy and mostly made of rock. The outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are huge, light and mostly made of gas.
Th inner planets are rocky because as the Sun and planets formed the more volatile elements could not condense into droplets near to the hot Sun. Thus the inner planets are made form stuff with a high melting/boiling point and the outer planets (where it was cooler) are made from the gases.
No. Any kind of light is not made up of elements, but rather of photons, which have no rest mass.
