How do the inner planets differ from the outer planets?

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

All 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.

Answer 3

The 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.

Answer 4

The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are smaller, denser, and rocky, with solid surfaces. The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are larger, gaseous, and have no solid surface. They also have rings and many moons.

Answer 5

The inner planets are like big rocks. The outer planets are like big balls of gas.

Answer 6

The inner planets are made of small bodies made of rock and outer planets are made of gas called gas giants.

Answer 7

Mercury Venus Earth and Mars (the inner planets) are the rock planets and, Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune (outter planets) are the gas planets

Answer 8

They are smaller, less massive; and they have rocky surfaces.
