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.
Venus and Earth have similar compositions, both being terrestrial planets with rocky surfaces. They also have similar densities, indicating similar compositions of silicate rock and metal elements.
Compare: They are both satellites of gas giant planets. Contrast: Io and Titan could hardly be more different. Io orbits Jupiter; it may be the most volcanic body in the solar system, with volcanoes that erupt throwing sulfur into ORBIT. Titan orbits Saturn, and is cold enough to have lakes of methane.
All four rocky planets are much smaller than gas planets.
Neptune and Uranus
This is because when the big bang theory was in it session it made a big plasma wave that had moved the compositions of every planet depending on its distance .
Too badd (:
Stars are all over Hollywood, planets are above us in the sky.
Outer: big, cold, gas giants (and lots of satellites) Inner: small, rocky, warn (to hot).

Neptune is the farthest planet in the Sun system.
The inner planets are typically warmer than the outer planets. This is because the inner planets are closer to the sun and receive more direct sunlight, leading to higher temperatures. In contrast, the outer planets are much farther from the sun and are colder as a result.
A basic, simplified answer is: The inner planets are mainly rock with iron cores. The outer planets are mostly gas, or liquefied gases.
dwarf planets are smaller than regular planets
Planets closer to the sun tend to be smaller and have rockier compositions, while planets farther from the sun tend to be larger and have more gaseous compositions. This is due to the different conditions and materials available at varying distances from the sun during the formation of the solar system.
The distance between two stars is typically much greater than the distance between two planets. Stars are usually light-years apart, while planets in the same star system are typically within a few astronomical units of each other.
Planets are tremendously closer than the stars are. Even the closest star (other than the sun, which is also a star) is tens of thousands of times farther away than the most distant planet in our solar system.
