There are eight planets, which is quite a small number, and half of them are outside the 4 AU distance. That's the way it happened.

The majority of known exoplanets have orbits closer to their host star because these planets are easier to detect. Planets with axes greater than 4 AU are further away from their star, making them more challenging to detect using current observational techniques. Additionally, planets that are farther from their star may have longer orbital periods, meaning they require more time to complete a full orbit, further complicating their detection.

Which planet has been lost from the solar system?
Many. In the early solar system, there were many more planets than there are now. Most hit joined into larger planets and a few were captured and became moons.
Do inner planets have few or many moons?
The inner planets of our solar system have few or no moons. Mercury and Venus have none, Earth has one, and Mars has two.
How many planet has less satellite than earth?
Mercury and Venus have no moons, the earth has one, mars has a few, and the gas planets have dozens

What decimal is greater than 2.1 and less than 2.11?
There are infinitely many which are greater than 2.1 and less than 2.11. A few of them are 2.101, 2.102, 2.10001 etc.
Is the distance between the sun and planets smaller than the stars and planets?
Yes, much smaller. For reference, the time it takes for light to travel from the sun to the planets takes a few minutes for the closest ones to a few hours for the farthest. It takes light more than four years to reach the nearest star to the sun.
Does the outer planet have more moons than outer planet?
Oh no, it is the outer planets which have the most moons. Terrestrial planets such as Earth have relatively few moons.
How big is an asteroid compared to other planets?
Asteroids are smaller than planets. A few of the asteroids are fairly large; Ceres, for example, is a "dwarf planet" that's bigger than Pluto. But many of the asteroids are a few miles, or a few dozen miles, across. That isn't very big, compared to Mars or Earth.
What is bigger than a thunderstorm?
it is the earth, moon and sun and some other few planets if u wish but not anything else
What is a number that is less than -20 but greater than -21?
There are infinitely many numbers less than -20 but greater than -21 (it's a long explanation), with a few examples being -20.11111111, -20.5, and -6.5(2143/22)^0.25.

Many. In the early solar system, there were many more planets than there are now. Most hit joined into larger planets and a few were captured and became moons.
What is bigger a planet or a star?
Stars are much bigger than planets. The only stars that are smaller than planets are neutron stars.

How many planets in our solar system?

What is greater than -5.6?
This is a very stupid question to ask... -5.6 is a negative number so that means that anything that is equal too or larger than 0 is greater than it. -5.5999..., -5.5888..., -5.5777..., and -5.5666... are just a few of the numbers that are greater than -5.6 and less than 0. Think before you ask dumb questions like this.
