Is Mercury rocky or gaseous?
Mercury is a rocky planet. The inner planets (first four planets from the sun) are rocky planets (which means that you could stand on them) and are the smallest. While the outer planets (last four planets from the sun) are gas planets and the biggest.
Is a planet closer to the sun more dense than a planet far from the sun?
no because the closer to the sun the hotter the planet and if the planet gets that hot the more steam there is on the planet so therefore it will be dry ____________________ Yes, as a general rule. Scientists think that the reason that the inner planets are 'rocky' while the outer planets are 'gas giants' is because the solar winds blew gaseous materials farther out, leaving the dense rocky material closer to it. When the planets formed out of the resulting accretion disk, the rocky planets formed nearer the sun, and the huge clouds of gas farther out coalesced into the outer planets.
Rocky body that orbits the sun between the planet?
Rocky body that orbits the sun between the planets is called an asteroid.
Which explanation accounts for where rocky planets formed?
Rocky planets are formed when the deepest parts of the rock are warm. The planet's sun or protostar making the heavier elements sink to the deepest parts and stay there by warming the planet. The basic answer is that planets that are mainly gas could not survive close to the Sun. The temperature would cause the gas to escape into space.

The seventh planet from the sun it is a gas planet?
The seventh planet from the sun is Uranus and yes, it is a gas planet.
What is the difference between the sun and a big gas planet?
The sun is a star and the gas planet is a planet.
