Why are the far distant planets still some what a mystery to scientists on earth?

Because they are so far away, we cannot see them very well, even with our best telescopes, and we have not sent probes to their surfaces, if they have surfaces. Gas giants like the outer planets may not have any stable surface, just thicker and thicker atmospheres. The huge amount of energy needed to send objects to the other planets makes it expensive to try to find out what they are like.
