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

Answer 1

The orbits of the four inner planets are much closer, all orbiting the sun within ¼ billion km. The outer planets are more spread out, but are much larger in size. Their distances roughly double each time as you go out from Jupiter.

Average distances of inner planets from sun;

Mercury, 57,909,175km

Venus, 108,208,930km

Earth, 149,597,890km

Mars, 227,936,640km

Average distances of outer planets from sun;

Jupiter, 778,412,010km

Saturn, 1,426,725,400km

Uranus, 2,870,972,200km

Neptune, 4,498,252,900km

Answer 2

Well, honey, the inner planets are cozying up to each other like they're at a crowded party, while the outer planets are social distancing like it's the end of the world. The inner planets are huddled close to the Sun, while the outer planets are spread out like they're avoiding each other's bad breath. So, in short, the inner planets are like siblings sharing a room, while the outer planets are like neighbors who only wave from a distance.

Answer 3

Oh, dude, the distances between the inner planets are like a cozy family road trip, while the distances between the outer planets are more like a cross-country trek with your annoying extended relatives. The inner planets are all huddled close to the sun, while the outer planets are just chilling out in the vastness of space, giving each other some serious social distancing.

Answer 4

The distances between the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are much smaller compared to the distances between the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). The inner planets are relatively close to each other, with average distances ranging from about 36 million miles between Earth and Mars to about 93 million miles between Earth and Venus. In contrast, the outer planets are much farther apart, with average distances ranging from about 365 million miles between Jupiter and Saturn to over 1.7 billion miles between Uranus and Neptune.

Answer 5

The inner planets are closer together compared to the outer planets. The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have smaller orbits and are located closer to the Sun, while the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have larger orbits and are further away from the Sun. The distance between inner planets is on average shorter than the distance between outer planets.

Answer 6

The inner planets are considerably smaller than the four outer planets. The inner planets diameters range from 4880km (Mercury) to 12742km (earth, while the outer planet diameters range from 49533km (Neptune) to 142985km (Jupiter - the largest).

Answer 7

The inner planets have much higher densities do to them being made up of solids. The large outer planets are made up mostly of gasses making them much less dense. The outer planets are larger making them attract more dust and gas.

Answer 8

Saturn is the least dense planet, being less dense than water (0.68g/cm3). The other gas giants are less dense than the rocky planets. Mars is the least dense rocky planet while Mercury is so dense that it weighs more than any of Jupiter's moons even though it is smaller. Earth is the densest planet (5.5g/cm3) because of gravitation compression. Mercury's high density arises from it's massive core (42% of it's volume compared to Earth's 17%)

Answer 9

The rocky inner planets are more dense than the outer planets, which are made up mostly of gas and ice.
