What are the inner planets and the outer planets and how do the planets in the two groups differ?

The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The outer planets (they are separated by the asteroid belt) are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The outer planets are different than the inner planets because the outer planets are not solid. They are all made up of gas. However, the inner planets are rocky and hard.

What is the inner and outer planets and contrast the two groups of planets?

The four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets. These are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. 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. The outer planets all have a ring system (the inner planets dont) while the outer planets have captured a lot more natural satellites or moons than the inner planets.


What are two ways that the eight planets can be classified?

They can be classed as terrestrial planets or gas giants, or inner and outer.


Are the inner planets smaller then the outer planets?

Yes, inner planets are generally smaller in size compared to outer planets. Inner planets, also known as terrestrial planets, are made mainly of rock and metal, while outer planets, also known as gas giants, are predominantly composed of gases like hydrogen and helium. This difference in composition contributes to the varying sizes between the two groups.


Is Mars a inner or outer planet?

Mars is considered an INNER planet. It is the 4th of the 8 major planets in distance from the Sun, and is closer to the Sun than the Main Belt of asteroids. All 4 inner planets are terrestrial (smaller, rocky planets) while the outer planets are gas giants.*The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars*The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.Planets past Neptune include all but one of the Dwarf planets, including Pluto, and a large number of smaller icy bodies in the Kuiper Belt.


What are the two main gases that make up the inner and outer planets?

Hydrogen and Helium.


what Scientists refer to half of the planets as inner planets because they are relatively close to the Sun. They refer to the other half as outer planets. Using the data in the table, classify the planets into one of the two groups.?

One-half of eight is four. So, there are four inner planets and four outer planets. According to the distances in the table, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are inner planets. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are outer planets.


What are the two major groups that planets are divided?

Inner rocky planets and outer gas giant planets. (There are also Ice giants and dwarf planets)
