Why don't other planets have moons like Jupiter?

They do. Six of the eight planets in the solar system have moons and five of them have large moons. If you are asking why no planet has moons exactly like those of Jupiter, each moon has its own unique history, often interacting with its neighboring moons. So no two moons are alike.

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.
