What are some similarities of the inner and outer planets?
Inner and outer planets have some things that are in common but there mostly way different. For instants they both orbit the sun. On the other hand the outer planets are made mostly by gas, that's why they are called the gas giants. The inner planets are mostly made by rock and dust. The inner planets are called Terrestrial planets and the outer planets are called Jovian planets. The inner planets are closer to the sun, have more density, they have less moons, there about the size of Earth, and they rotate slowly. The outer planets (Jovian Planets) are farther from the sun, they have less density, they have more moons, they are large, about the size of Jupiter, they rotate rapidly, and they have more mass. These planets are alike because they both orbit the sun.
Do Jovian planets rotate faster than Terrestrial planets?
Yes, Jovian planets rotate faster than terrestrial planets. For example, Jupiter completes a rotation in about 10 hours, while Earth takes roughly 24 hours. This difference is mainly due to the Jovian planets having a greater amount of mass and their composition, which affects their rotation speeds.
How are planets farther from the sun different?
The "outer planets" (gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are more massive and spin faster than the inner planets. Although their distance from the Sun means they retained cold outer atmospheres, they would be larger even without these dense gaseous envelopes. The outer planets do not have to move as rapidly in their orbits to counteract the Sun's gravity, as this decreases with the orbital distance. During planetary formation, the protostellar disc would have clumped at the appropriate distance for its velocity. Given this lower speed, and the greater distance traveled, the outer planets take much longer to orbit the Sun than Earth.
Do planets near the sun spin faster or slower than planets away from the sun?
The gas giants, the four planets farthest from the Sun, do spin faster than the inner planets. However, rotational speed has almost nothing to do with the distance a planet is from the sun. Having said that, both the Sun and the Moon are responsible for the tides of the oceans which are still slowing the Earth down ever so slightly. The extremely slow rotation of Venus would have had other causes. The rotational speeds of planets are the product of 4½ billion years of events. The angular momentum of the protostellar disc would have been transferred to growing planets. In the case of the gas giants, the tidal effects at their great distance from the Sun are extremely small compared to their masses. So they are still spinning vigorously. Even Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, is not rapidly losing its spin.
Why do planets turn?
Stars and planets form in the collapse of huge clouds of interstellar gas and dust. The material in these clouds is in constant motion, and the clouds themselves are in motion, orbiting in the aggregate gravity of the galaxy. As a result of this movement, the cloud will most likely have some slight rotation as seen from a point near its center. This rotation can be described as angular momentum, a conserved measure of its motion that cannot change. Conservation of angular momentum explains why an ice skater spins more rapidly as she pulls her arms in. As her arms come closer to her axis of rotation, her speed increases and her angular momentum remains the same. Similarly, her rotation slows when she extends her arms at the conclusion of the spin.In our solar system, the giant gas planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) spin more rapidly on their axes than the inner planets do and possess most of the system's angular momentum. The sun itself rotates slowly, only once a month. The planets all revolve around the sun in the same direction and in virtually the same plane. In addition, they all rotate in the same general direction, with the exceptions of Venus and Uranus. These differences are believed to stem from collisions that occurred late in the planets' formation. (A similar collision is believed to have led to the formation of our moon.)Planets rotates beacos the sun tells them to
What planets rotates rapidly?
Jupiter at 9h 55 mins to make one turn, is the most rapidly turning out of all eight planets.
What planet rotates most rapidly?
Jupiter at 9h 55 mins to make one turn, is the most rapidly turning out of all eight planets.
Why was Mercury given it's name?
In Greek mythology, Mercury was the messanger of the Gods, moving rapidly from place to place performing his functions. The planet Mercury has been known to people from ancient times and appears to be the most rapidly moving of the planets. Since the planets were named for the gods, the connection with a rapidly moving god caused the planet to be named Mercury.
Why did the U.S become rapidly industrialized?
The U.S. was rapidly industrialized because Europeans wanted U.S. resources.
What planets has the fastest period rotation?
Jupiter - it has the shortest day and the fastest roational speed
What are the fastest cooling planets?
The fastest cooling planets in our solar system are typically rocky planets with thin atmospheres, like Mercury and Mars. These planets lose heat more quickly due to their lack of insulating atmospheres, which allows them to cool down rapidly after being exposed to sunlight.

These planets are alike because they both orbit the sun.
Why did terrestrial planet move rapidly in there orbits?
Terrestrial planets move faster in their orbits because they are closer to the Sun. Isaac Newton, who discovered the effects of gravity, stated that gravity gets stronger the closer you get to a large, massive body (like the Sun) - and this makes the planets orbit faster than the outer planets, where the force of the Sun's gravity is less. Their orbits are also smaller, so it takes less time for them to go around the Sun.
Which planet rotate most rapidly?
The planet Jupiter is the largest of the 8 major planets and rotates the most rapidly. Depending on the latitude observed, a complete rotation only takes between 9.8 and 9.9 Earth hours.
Which planet rotates rapidly?
Jupiter rotates on its axis most rapidly out of all of the planets, 9h 55m 30s for one full spin. Haumea is a small dwarf planet, it rotates once in only 3h 54m 56s
How do the inner planets travel around the sun than the outer planets?
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have shorter orbits and faster speeds, completing their orbits in less time than the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). The inner planets are closer to the sun, so they experience stronger gravitational forces that cause them to orbit more rapidly, while the outer planets move more slowly due to their greater distance from the sun.
