Why might the solar wind have a stonger effect on inner planets than on outer planets?

Because they are closer to the sun and so they get the most of it so by the time it gets to the outer planets they get very little of the solar wind

Why might the solar wind have a stronger effect on inner planets than on outer planets in the solar system?
Because the inner planets are closer to the sun than the outer planets.
What inner planet does not have water and oxygen?
Mercury and Venus are inner planets that does not have water and oxygen. Mars might be another, but we don't know. It might have water. Now Earth....if there was no water and oxygen, I wouldn't be replying to this(except if I was alien, eh?)!
What is an unusual charesteristic of Jupiter saternneptune and uranes?
Compared to the four inner planets, these planets:* Are quite large* Are quite massive* Consist mainly of gas* Don't have a surface where you might stand on* Have a low density
How does the inner planets distance from the sun relate to the average surface temperature of the planet?
You might expect a planet to be hotter if it's nearer the Sun. This is true apart from Venus, which is the exception. Venus has a higher average surface temperature than Mercury. We believe this is because of the "greenhouse effect" of the atmosphere of Venus.
Do planets have Ozone?
Earth has an ozone layer in atmosphere. It is present in the stratospheric region. Other planets which have oxygen in their environment might have ozone.Some planets like earth do. Others might have.
Why might the solar wind have a stronger effect on inner planets than on outer planets in the solar system?
Because the inner planets are closer to the sun than the outer planets.
Which of the outer planets has a surface more similar to the inner planets than to the outer planets?
None of them do. All the outer planets are gas planets while all the inner planets are rocky. You might be thinking of Pluto. It has a solid surface, but it is no longer considered a planet.
What is another way you might divide the planets into two groups other than the inner planets and the outter planets?
Stony and Gas Giant. But it still divides the same.
What is the composition of inner planets and outer planets?
The compositions of the inner planets and outer planter are nickel, iron, and rock formations. Some of the gases are methane and ammonia and water.2nd Answer:The 'inner' planets, better called, "Terran" planets (Earth is Terra) are solid per the above answer. The 'outer' planets, better called, "Jovian" planets (Jove is a more 'English' form of Jupiter) are all gas giants - they are not solid, although some think that their cores might be rocky.
What inner planet does not have water and oxygen?
Mercury and Venus are inner planets that does not have water and oxygen. Mars might be another, but we don't know. It might have water. Now Earth....if there was no water and oxygen, I wouldn't be replying to this(except if I was alien, eh?)!
What are some physical properties of an inner planet?
The four inner planets - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars - are small (compared to the other four), and rocky. They have a solid surface. In contrast, the outer planets are several times larger, and they are gas giants - no surface on which you might stand.
Think about plotting the distances as points on a number line where 0 represents the position of the Sun. what is one challenge of modeling the distances of inner and outer planets using the same scale?
The distance between an inner planet and the Sun is small compared with the distance between an outer planet and the Sun. If inner and outer planets are drawn to the same scale on a number line, the inner planets will bunch near zero (the Sun’s position) and might appear on top of one another.
What is an unusual charesteristic of Jupiter saternneptune and uranes?
Compared to the four inner planets, these planets:* Are quite large* Are quite massive* Consist mainly of gas* Don't have a surface where you might stand on* Have a low density
What effect would the destruction of one of the solar system's outer planets have on the Earth?
Probably very little, but the mechanism of that destruction might be important. If the planet were shattered, it's possible that fragments of the (presumably solid, but with a gas giant that isn't certain) core might be scattered inward toward the inner solar system.
Most of the smaller inner planets in the solar system are composed of the heavier elements and most of the huge outer planets are composed of the lighter elements What might you conclude by that fact?
Lighter elements could not condense in areas around the sun.
How does the inner planets distance from the sun relate to the average surface temperature of the planet?
You might expect a planet to be hotter if it's nearer the Sun. This is true apart from Venus, which is the exception. Venus has a higher average surface temperature than Mercury. We believe this is because of the "greenhouse effect" of the atmosphere of Venus.
Is earth weaker or stonger?
the earth is a place where people,animals and many more things live .I belived that if more people come into the earth it might start dropping down it is ok for now but it might happen
