What are three ways that the inner planets are different from the putter planets?

The inner planets are rocky, with distinct solid surfaces, and dense, whereas the outer planets are gaseous, have no solid surface and are relatively light in comparison. The density of Saturn, for example, is less than that of water.


Name the outer planets and describe three feature they share?

The outer planets' names are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The 4 outer planets closest to the sun are all known as the gas giants. They all have a longer year than the inner planets. And they all are colder than the inner planets.


List three ways the outer planets are alike.?

The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) are all gas giants composed mostly of hydrogen and helium. They all have ring systems, although those of Jupiter and Uranus are less prominent than those of Saturn. They all have numerous moons, with Jupiter and Saturn having the most extensive moon systems.


Why do outer planets have more moons than inner planets?

The outer 4 planets have many more moons than the 4 inner ones. (Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Earth only have a total of three, whereas Jupiter and Saturn have more than 60 each.) The "outer planets" of our solar system (the 4 gas giants) are much larger than the "inner planets". They also have more space between their orbits, and therefore a larger number of small bodies (some of which were captured as moons). The gravitational effect of the Sun is lower, so satellites can orbit at greater distances without being destabilized.


What are the 3 features that the outer planets have in common?

These are the four outer gas giant planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are all much larger than the inner planets, they all have a similar composition (gaseous atmospheres, mainly of Hydrogen and Helium) and they each have many moons and a ring system. None of the inner planets have a ring system and there are only three moons in total for the four inner planets (one for Earth and two in orbit around Mars).

What are three ways the inner planets are different ftom the outter planets?

Inner planets are rocky and terrestrial, while outer planets are gas giants. Inner planets are smaller in size and have solid surfaces, while outer planets are larger and lack a solid surface. Inner planets have shorter orbital periods and are closer to the sun, while outer planets have longer orbital periods and are farther from the sun.

What has many moons inner planets or outer planets?

the inner plants have a total of three moons. our moon, and two moons of mars. Phobos, and Deimos. but the out planets have many more moons. Neptune has the least amount of moons out of all the outer planets. it has 13 moons. but, the other outer planets have way more. Jupiter even has 63. of course, there are probably many more moons still to be discovered. well, not for earth and mars. in total, the outer planets must have at least 100 moons.

What are the inner three planets sometimes called?

terrestrial planets


What are inner planets and sometimes what are they called?

Inner planets are a group of terrestrial planets that orbit closest to the sun in our solar system. They are also known as the "rocky planets" and include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets have solid surfaces, are composed mainly of rock and metal, and have relatively high densities compared to the outer gas giants.

Do inner planets have more moons than outer planets?

Yes, Jupiter and Saturn each of 60 some moons, while Uranus and Neptune have around twenty. The dwarf planet Pluto has three moons.

What planets have the most amount of moons?

The four outer planets have many moons each, while the inner planets only have three between all of the, two for Mars and one in orbit around the Earth. The planet with the most is Jupiter, with 63 confirmed moons.
