All the outer planets probably have solid cores. However, they do not have
what we call a solid surface.
Incidentally, there are only four outer planets altogether.
There are only 4 "outer planets". They do not have a solid surface.

What are the first four outer planets called?
the first four outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
What is the difference between the first four planets and the last four planets?
The four inner planets are smaller than the four outer planets. The inner planets are made up mostly of iron and various types of rock. The outer planets are mostly hydrogen, helium, and ice. The inner planets each completely rotate in less than an earth day. The inner planets all rotate faster than the outer planets.
Why is it convenient to separate the four inner planets from the five outer planets?
First, there are only FOUR outer planets, since Pluto was demoted to "dwarf planet" by the International Astronomical Union. The dividing line is the asteroid belt.
How are planets closest to the sun different from the planets that are farther away?
The planets that are closest to the sun get more heat than the ones more farther away. The four inner planets are dense and rocky. The four other planets have small solid cores surrounded by vast atmospheres. The four inner planets have one significant satellite among them (the moon), while each of the outer planets has many satellites. The four inner planets are small, while the outer planets are massive.
Which planets are called inner planets and which are called outer planets?
The first four planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are the inner planets, because they are rocky and on the inside of the asteroid belt, and the next four planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are the outer planets because they are light and composed of gas, and are on the outside of the asteroid belt.
What outer planet has a solid core?
I guess that would be Mars, which has an orbit outside the Earth's orbit. The first four planets have solid cores, while the four outer planets are gas giants.
The four outer planets do not have solid?
surfaces
What are the first four outer planets called?
the first four outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
How are the four outer planets alike?
The four outer planets are all of the type astronomers call "gas giants", and have no hard, rocky surface per se. The inner planets are all solid rocky "terrestrial" planets. Also, the four outer planets are larger in size and lesser in density than the inner planets.
Are all the first four outer planets bigger then earth?
yes the ONLY four outer planets are bigger than earth
How are inner planets and gas giants similar?
they orbit the sun and are the first four outer planets
What characteristics do the giants have in common?
The first four outer planets-Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune-are much larger and more massive than Earth, and they do not have solid surfaces.
What is the difference between the first four planets and the last four planets?
The four inner planets are smaller than the four outer planets. The inner planets are made up mostly of iron and various types of rock. The outer planets are mostly hydrogen, helium, and ice. The inner planets each completely rotate in less than an earth day. The inner planets all rotate faster than the outer planets.
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.
Why is it convenient to separate the four inner planets from the five outer planets?
First, there are only FOUR outer planets, since Pluto was demoted to "dwarf planet" by the International Astronomical Union. The dividing line is the asteroid belt.
What four inner planets are larger than the outer planets?
The inner planets are smaller than the outer planets.
What are the four solid planets made of?
these planets are small rock solid planets.
