They don't...

An inner planet such as Mercury has an orbital speed of 107,00 MPH when compared to the outer most "planet" Pluto which rotates at 10,500 MPH. The gravitational restraints of the sun is greater on the inner planets than the outer allowing them to rotate faster without flying off into space. It's simple physics, the concepts of Centrifugal Force.

Comparing inner and outer planets movement?

The inner planets travel faster around the Sun because they are closer, while the outer planets take more time. The outer planets spin faster on their axis than the inner planets.


What is the difference of The rotational period of the inner and outer planets?

Rotational time of the planets is random (the length of the planet's day), but the outer planets do spin faster than the inner planets.


Why do the outer planets spin faster than the inner ones?

The outer planets are composed mostly of gases, which do not have a solid surface like the inner planets. This lack of solid surface allows the outer planets to rotate more quickly, as there is less resistance for their rotation. Additionally, the outer planets have more mass, which also contributes to their faster rotation.


How do the inner planets travel around the sun than the outer planets?

The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have shorter orbits and faster speeds, completing their orbits in less time than the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). The inner planets are closer to the sun, so they experience stronger gravitational forces that cause them to orbit more rapidly, while the outer planets move more slowly due to their greater distance from the sun.

What do the outer planets have that the inner planets do not have?

outer planets are gas giants whille inner planets are just rocky planets. that includes that outer planets have significant amount of mass than the inner planets


Are the inner and outer planets different?

The inner planets are all rocky planets. The outer planets are completely made up of gases. The inner planets are much smaller than the outer planets.


Is Saturns inner ring faster than the outer ring?

What are 3 differences between the outer and inner planets?

The inner planets are small, the outer planets are huge in comparison.The inner planets have rocky surfaces, the outer planets are gas giants.All of the outer planets have rings. None of the inner planets does.All of the outer planets have several moons, some of them quite large.


Why must the inner planets orbit faster than the outer planets?

Precisely because: That's the way that gravity works.
