Are planets bigger than an asteroid?
Yes, planets would be much bigger.
What other planets is bigger than the Milky Way?
I'm not really sure what you're asking. Planets are not bigger than galaxies.
Which group of planets is more massive than the group of rocky planets?
The gas giants.
How many planets is bigger than earth?
Four: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Why are gas planets larger than terrestrial?
The masses of the gas giants are greater, which would make them larger, and their gravity can hold more massive atmospheres. Due to limits on the compressibility of atmospheric gases, these atmospheres are very deep. The lower solar heating farther from the Sun also plays a role in allowing these planets to maintain a high percentage of their lighter gases (hydrogen, helium) than the inner planets. So, even without their atmospheres, the cores of gas giants would have greater diameters than the terrestrial planets. They are simply bigger planets.
How are rocky plants different then gas giants?
Please tell me you mean Planets not Plants, that is an odd image. Rocky Planets are made mostly of Rock ie solid stuff. Gas Giants are made mostly of Gas. Most gas giants are much bigger than the rocky planets. So far most of the extra solar planets are gas giants (they are bigger so easier to find)
What is bigger than all the terrestrial planets?
Gas giants like Jupiter and stars like our Sun.
Which is the largest of the terrestial planets?
Earth is the biggest Terrestrial Planet of the SOLAR SYSTEM. Bigger ones are Gas Giants. Bigger than Gas Giants are Stars. Bigger than Stars are Black Holes. The LARGEST TERRESTRIAL PLANET is unknown. It says Largest of THE Terrestrial Planets. The Answer is changing because in seconds, a new planet is formed.
Are the gas planets bigger or smaller than the rocky planets?
the gas planets are bigger than the rocky planets
How are the planets classifications as a terrestrial plaent or gas giant generally related to their densities?
Rocky planets are denser than gas giants.
What is the relative size of the inner planets?
The inner planets are smaller than the outer planets. This may be because the outer planets are called gas giants. This means that gas can accumulate in size at times, and this can be one of the situations.
Are gas planets bigger than Rocky planets?
The Gas Giants, or Jovian Planets are the outer planets of our solar system. (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) The Rocky Planets, or Inner Planets, are much smaller compared to the outer planets. (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) To answer your question, yes, the gas planets are larger than the rocky planets.Update: Since the voyager space probe, only Jupiter and Saturn are now classified as the Gas giants. Uranus and Neptune are now referred to as the Ice giants.
Are planets bigger than an asteroid?
Yes, planets would be much bigger.
How big are planets?
well some planets are bigger than the earth but from the inside earth is of course bigger than all of the other planets
How do the four rocky planets compare to the four gas giants in size?
All four rocky planets are much smaller than gas planets.
Do the bigger planets rotate slower than smaller planets?
no
What are three things outer planets have in common?
* All bigger that Earth * All gas giants * All have more than one moon * All have rings
