Gaseous planets have very large masses and so a strong gravitational field.

Could you list the planets in order from the thickest to thinest atmospheres?
The terrestrial planets in order from the thickest to thinnest atmospheres Venus, Earth, Mars, and Mercury. Since the gas giants are almost entirely made of gas, it is difficult to determine where the atmospheres end.
Why are inner planets of solar system different from outer planets?
Because the inner planets are made of rock but the outer planets are made of gas(except for Pluto).
What are the outer planets mostly made from?
Gasses and ice . (:
Are the inner planets made of rocks?
All the inner planets are rocky or terrestrial planets.
Why are the outer planets less dense?
They are made of less dense materials. While the inner planets are made primarily of rock, the outer planets are made mostly of hydrogen and helium.
Are there planets made of pure lava and fire?
A planet could not be made of fire, but there are probably planets in the universe that are entirely covered in lava. These would usually be very young planets.
Is water available on the planet Neptune?
Neptune is one of several planets made up almost entirely of ice, so technically, yes it is.
Is there dirt on Saturn?
No. Saturn is one of the "gas giant" planets, which means it is made up entirely of gases, some of which condense due to the planet's tremendous gravity.
What other planets-other then earth-may support life?
Life probably does not exist on any of the known planets (except earth). But if life does exist on one of those planets, it would probably be on Mars. Venus is way too hot, Mercury does not have an atmosphere, and the other four planets are made up almost entirely of gas.

What planets are rock planets that the just the planets core made from rock?
there are 9 planets
How do the inner planets diffrer from the outer planets?
the inner planets made up of rocks while the outer planets are made up of gases and liquids.
What three planets are made of mass?
All the planets are made of "matter" and that has "mass".
Why are inner planets of solar system different from outer planets?
Because the inner planets are made of rock but the outer planets are made of gas(except for Pluto).
What are the four solid planets made of?
these planets are small rock solid planets.
Why are the inner planets not made of light?
I think the question is probably about "light elements".The inner planets are relatively warm and small. This means they have notbeen able to keep the lightest elements, hydrogen and helium, as gases.
What planets are just made of gases?
Type your answer here... all planets are made of gasses
