What is the order of the outer planets from the earth?

Next after Earth is Mars, then the four "outer planets": Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.


Is earth an inner or outer planet?

Earth is an inner planet. The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The inner planets are warmer and have solid, rocky cores. The outer planets are much cooler, bigger and are mostly, if not entirely, gas.


Is Earth a gas giant?

Earth is a rocky planet because the gas giants are in the outer planets and earth is in the inner planet.


What has many moons inner planets or outer planets?

the inner plants have a total of three moons. our moon, and two moons of mars. Phobos, and Deimos. but the out planets have many more moons. Neptune has the least amount of moons out of all the outer planets. it has 13 moons. but, the other outer planets have way more. Jupiter even has 63. of course, there are probably many more moons still to be discovered. well, not for earth and mars. in total, the outer planets must have at least 100 moons.


What do the planets appear to do from earth?

In most cases they just appear to cross the sky in one direction. But the outer planets can sometime appear to go forward, then backward, then forward again over a period of time. To visualizer this affect, look away from where you are standing and imagine you are the earth and you are looking at a planet out in front of you. Because it is an outer planet, it takes longer to go around the sun and not all the planets have the same orbital speed. Now, as you pass the outer planet it will appear to rise and move across your line of site. As you pull away and the outer planet is located on the other side of the sun, it will appear to move across your field of vision in the opposite direction. When it comes back around, it will slowly start to move forward again. There are days when I have a lot time on my hands.

How do the distances between the inner planets compare?

The distances between inner planets are relatively close compared to the distances between outer planets. For example, the distance between Earth and Venus is around 25 million miles on average, while the distance between Earth and Mars can vary from 34 million to 250 million miles due to their elliptical orbits.


Which is closer to the earth- the sun or the outer planets?

The Sun is closer to the Earth than the outer planets areThe Sun is about 150 million km from the Earth. The closest outer planet, Jupiter, is about 629 million km from the Earth. The Sun is closer to the Earth than the outer planets are.These distances are based on measurements along the widest parts of the Earth's and Jupiter's orbits. The distances can be shorter or longer depending on the positions of the bodies in their orbits. But, the Sun is always closer to the Earth than Jupiter and the other outer planets are


How do the distances between inner planets compare to distances between the outer planets?

The distances between inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are much smaller compared to the distances between outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). The inner planets are closer to each other, with relatively small gaps between their orbits, while the outer planets are much farther apart, with larger gaps between their orbits.


Is earth a outer planet?

No, its an inner planet, the inner planets are, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.


Does the terrestrial planets have more moons than the outer planets?

Oh no, it is the outer planets which have the most moons. Terrestrial planets such as Earth have relatively few moons.


How does the temp of the inner planets compare to the temp of the outer planet?

The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are generally warmer compared to the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) due to their closer proximity to the sun. The outer planets are much colder because they receive less heat and light from the sun.


How do the sizes of the inner planets compare to the sizes of the gas giant planets?

inner planets are small and outer planets are big and cold and gas giants.


Are the planets with rings inner or outer planets?
