The inner planets are solid and aircrafts can land on them. Their temperatures are higher because the are closer to the sun. The outer planets have colder temperatures and less sunlight because they are farther away from the sun. The outer planets are also called the Gas Giants because they are made out of gas.
Inner Planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars
Outer Planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Dwarf Planets: Pluto, Ceres, eris, Makemake, Haumea

∙ 13y agoAll four of the inner planets are warmer, smaller and denser than the four outer planets. The four inner planets have a clear surface, while the four outer gas planets don't have a well defined surface.

∙ 12y agoThe inner planets, also known as the terrestrial planets, are the planets closest to the sun, and are the only solid planets in our solar system. The outer planets, known as the Gas Giants, are made mostly made up of gases such as helium, hydrogen, and nitrogen. They DO contain some small solid matter such as Iron and whatnot, but it doesn't make up the majority of the planet. Pluto is the only exception to this rule, but it is no longer classified as a planet. It is now classified as a Dwarf Planet.

How does the distance between the inner planets differ from the distance between the outer planets?
As the names suggest, the inner planets are closer to the Sun than the outer planets.
Inner an outer planet similarities?
The inner and outer planets are The same because The Inner planets are not made out of gas The outer planets are bigger than inners The outer planets are the coldest The Inner planets are rocky The inner planets are terrestrial The outer planets can't support life The inner planets have iron cores The outer are the furthest from the sun The outer planets haveno rocky surface
How do the inner and outer planets atmosphere different?
the outer planets are gaseous and the inner planets are not
Why do you compare outer planets to inner planets?
because inner planets are hot and outer planets are cold
What do the outer planets have that the inner planets do not have?
outer planets are gas giants whille inner planets are just rocky planets. that includes that outer planets have significant amount of mass than the inner planets
How do the surface materials of the inner and outer planets differ?
The inner planets' surface materials differ from the outer planets because the inner planets have rocky surfaces and the outer planets have gas surfaces.
How do the inner planets differ from the outer?
The outer planets are mostly composed of gases and the inner planets are mostly made of rock, metals.
How do inner planets differ?
Inner planets differ from outer planets because they have rocky core (excepting Pluto), and the are much smaller than outer planets, which are bigger and take more time to orbit Sun than inner planets because of their location. Outer planets are farther from the Sun than inner planets.
How does the distance between the inner planets differ from the distance between the outer planets?
As the names suggest, the inner planets are closer to the Sun than the outer planets.
How do inner planets differ from the outer one?
They have rocky surfaces.
What are the inner planets and the outer planets and how do the planets in the two groups differ?
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The outer planets (they are separated by the asteroid belt) are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The outer planets are different than the inner planets because the outer planets are not solid. They are all made up of gas. However, the inner planets are rocky and hard.
What 3 ways do inner planets differ from outer planets?
The inner planets are smaller and rockier than the outer planets which are made mostly of gases. Plus they are on different sides of the asteroid belt.
