How are planets closest to the sun different from the planets that are farther away?
The planets that are closest to the sun get more heat than the ones more farther away. The four inner planets are dense and rocky. The four other planets have small solid cores surrounded by vast atmospheres. The four inner planets have one significant satellite among them (the moon), while each of the outer planets has many satellites. The four inner planets are small, while the outer planets are massive.
Why inner planets are closer to the sun than outer planets?
The inner planets are closer to the sun than the outer planets because of the way the solar system formed. When the solar system was still a swirling disk of gas and dust, the inner planets formed closer to the center where it was hotter, while the outer planets formed in the colder regions farther away. This distribution of planets based on temperature led to the inner planets being closer to the sun than the outer planets.
What are the differences between the outer planets?
The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are larger and mostly composed of gas, while the inner planets are smaller and rocky. The outer planets are also much colder, have more moons, and are located farther from the Sun compared to the inner planets. Additionally, the outer planets have ring systems, while the inner planets do not.
What planets have a longer revolutions?
The ones that are farther from the sun have longer revolutions.
What conclusion can you draw about a planets's property just by knowing how far it is from the sun?
The distance of a planet from the sun can provide information about its temperature, composition, and potential for liquid water. Planets that are closer to the sun tend to be warmer and have different compositions compared to those farther away. The distance from the sun also influences the planet's orbit and potential habitability.
What characteristics do most planets that are farther from the sun have in common?
They are generally colder.
Do planets get colder when there away from the sun?
Yes, planets get colder when they are farther away from the sun because they receive less sunlight and heat. The distance from the sun determines the amount of solar energy a planet receives, which affects its average temperature.
How does the of the planet temperature vary with the distance from the Sun?
Roughly speaking, as you go farther away from the Sun, planets get colder.
Is any of the other nine existing planets cold?
All the planets farther away from the Sun is colder than Earth.
How are the planets closr to the sun different from those that are located farther from the sun?
Planets closer to the sun are typically smaller, rockier, and have higher temperatures due to their proximity to the sun. Planets farther from the sun are generally larger, colder, and composed mostly of gas and ice. Additionally, planets closer to the sun have shorter orbital periods and higher gravitational influences.
How come being so much farther from the sun would effect the outer planets?
The outer planets are colder, and life cannot be supported there in such cold conditions.
Does the sun give heat to every planet?
Yes it does but the planets closer to the sun get more heat and the planets that are farther away get less heat. That is why Venus is hotter than our Earth and Mars is colder.
How does the temperature of the inner planets compare to the temperature of the outer planets?
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.
Why do the further planets have longer years and lower temperatures?
The further planets have longer years because their orbits are farther away from the sun, so it takes them longer to complete one orbit. The lower temperatures are a result of receiving less heat and light from the sun due to their distance, making them colder compared to the planets closer to the sun.

Is Pluto closer to the sun?
Pluto is farther from the sun than any of the 8 major planets. There are other dwarf planets farther from the sun than Pluto though.
What effect do you think being so much farther from the sun would have on the outer planets?
it would be much much colder and revolve slower because of weaker gravity
