How do the sizes of the inner planets (from the sun to the asteroid belt) compare to the sizes of the outer planets?
The inner planets, which include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are significantly smaller and rockier compared to the outer planets. The outer planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune—are much larger and predominantly composed of gases and ices. For instance, Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, is more than 11 times the diameter of Earth, showcasing the stark contrast in sizes between the two groups. Overall, the inner planets are termed terrestrial, while the outer planets are known as gas giants or ice giants.

Why do they call some planets Inner and Outer planets?
The inner and outer planets are broken up by the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are "inner planets" because they are on the side of the asteroid belt closest to the sun. All other planets are considered "outer planets".
The inner planets and outer planets are separated by?
The inner planets and outer planets are separated by the asteroid belt, which lies between Mars and Jupiter in our solar system. The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, while the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
What is found between the inner and outer planets?
The asteroid belt is between the inner and outer planets, but mostly it is just empty space.
The outer Planets lie beyond what?
The asteroid belt, which lies beyond the "inner planets".
The four outer planets lie beyond what?
The outer planets lie beyond the asteroid belt.
Is the asteroid belt in the inner or outer planets?
The asteroid belt is in-between the inner and outer planets.
Why are planets named inner and outer planets?
The "inner" planets are on the "inside" of the asteroid belt, while the "outer" planets are on the "outside" of it
Is mars in or out of the asteroid belt?
Mars is an "inner planet", but it's not in the main asteroid belt. There are the inner planets, then the asteroid belt, then the outer planets.
Is Jupiter know for the outer or inner for the asteroid?
Jupiter is an outer planet, also called a Gas Giant. The Main Asteroid Belt divides the inner planets from the outer planets.
Separates the inner planets from the outer planets?
The asteroid belt separates the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) from the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). The inner planets are smaller, denser, and rocky, while the outer planets are larger, gaseous, and have rings.
What divides the inner planet and the outer planet?
The asteroid belt, located between Mars and Jupiter, divides the inner terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) from the outer gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). The inner planets are smaller, rockier, and closer to the sun, while the outer planets are larger, gaseous, and farther from the sun.
What is found between the inner planets in the outer planets?
An asteroid belt.
What splits the outer planets from the inner planets?
The main Asteroid Belt.
What is between the inner and the outer planets?
The asteroid belt.
Is saturn one of the inner or outer planets in the asteroid belt?
outer. But it's not in the asteroid belt, of course.

Where is Jupiter located in the inner or outer of the solar system?
Jupiter is the first of the outer planets. The asteroid belt separates the inner and outer planets.
