What are the outer planets' cores made up of?
Terrestrial planets have a rock composition (and are also smaller), giant planets are made up from mostly hydrogen, helium and icy and rocky materials. However, the two giants, Jupiter and Saturn, have a very small inner core of icy and rocky materials and a larger outer core of hydrogen and helium. The two subgaints, Neptune and Uranus, have a larger inner core of icy and rocky material and a smaller outer layer of hydrogen, helium and icy materials.
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.
What do all the outer planets have in common?
All the outer planets in our solar system are gas giants with no solid surfaces. They are composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, and have thick atmospheres. They are also much larger in size than the inner rocky planets.
How are the four inner planets similar?
THEY ARE SMALL AND HAVE ROCKY SURFACESThey have a rocky surface, also known as terrestrial planets.They are rocky in their composition.They are roughly similar in size and density, and are all closer to the sun than the gas planets.
What characteristics set the inner planets apart from the outer planet and name the outer planets?
The inner planets are all rocky planets, whereas the outer planets are gas giants. Pluto is the exception. The outer planets also make 99% of our planets and are outside the asteroid belt.
Is Jupiter the only outer planet that is small and rocky?
It is not small and rocky, it is a gas giant!
What planets are mosty balls of gas?
Jupiter and Saturn are primarily composed of gas, with small rocky cores at their centers. They are known as gas giants due to their large volumes of hydrogen and helium gases.

What is at the center of all the outer planets?
Outer planets may have small rocky centers, or possibly centers of frozen hydrogen, we are not sure.
What makes the inner planets different from the outer planets?
The inner planets are small and rocky, the outer planets are much larger and have no solid surface, they are called the gas giants.

Which of our solar system's planets are considered gas giants?
These are the four outer planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
How are the inner planets different then the outer planets how?
The inner planets have rocky, hard surfaces, are small, and have a more presentage of containing metal objects.

Compare and contrast the outer planets of the solar system with the inner planets?
Outer: big, cold, gas giants (and lots of satellites) Inner: small, rocky, warn (to hot).
