What else can I help you with?
Does Jupiter protect the inner planets?
Yes, Jupiter acts as a "cosmic vacuum cleaner" by attracting and absorbing many of the comets and asteroids that might otherwise collide with the inner planets like Earth. This helps reduce the frequency of impacts and protects the inner planets to some extent.
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 the combined diameter of all the inner planets?
the combined diameter of the inner planets is 22,690 miles, or 26% the diameter of Jupiter.
How does Jupiter protect the inner planets being hit by asteroids?
Jupiter doesn't stop other planets from being hit by asteroids. It's actually raises the stakes. Jupiter takes cosmic debris into it's orbit and sometimes launches it at other planets. (including Earth!) Although in some cases Jupiter takes the cosmic debris/asteroids and launches them away from the planets. It's kinda like a cosmic game of dodgeball, lol.
What are two types of planets in our solar system?
There are the four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets. These are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. Then there are the four outer gas giant planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The inner planets are smaller and have a higher average density. The outer planets are much larger, but have no real surface - just atmosphere that gets thicker as you travel inwards.
How is Jupiter different from the inner planets?
jupiter is a gas planet
Does Jupiter protect the inner planets?

Is Jupiter a inner planet is Saturn a inner planet is uranes a inner planet is neptuen an inner planet?
No, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are not inner planets. They are classified as gas giants and are located beyond the asteroid belt in our solar system. The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
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.
Is Jupiter an outer inner or dwarf planet?
Jupiter is one of the Outer Planets.
Is Jupiter one of the inner planets or an outer planet?
Jupiter's one of the outer planets because its a gas giant there you have the answer
What is the basic used for calling inner or outer planets?
The inner planets are called, "Terran" planets after the Latin name for Earth: 'Terra'. The outer planets are called, "Jovian" planets after the name Jupiter. Jupiter??? Yeah, the Greek God Jupiter was called, "Jove" in Latin, hence 'Jovian'.
Are the Jovian planets outer planets or inner?
There are four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) and four outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune). So there are an equal number of inner and outer planets.
Is Jupiter one of the inner plantets?
Jupiter is not one of the inner planets. The solar system has four inner planets, which starting with the one that is closest to the sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, followed by the asteroid belt (which is a division between the inner and outer system) and then the four outer planets, which are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. After that are various dwarf planets, and the comets.
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.
What is the combined diameter of all the inner planets?
the combined diameter of the inner planets is 22,690 miles, or 26% the diameter of Jupiter.
What distinguishes inner planets and outer planets?
Inner planets have a radius orbit shorter than the orbit of Jupiter. Outer planets are all the other planets of the solar system.
