What are 3 differences between the outer and inner planets?
The inner planets are small, the outer planets are huge in comparison.The inner planets have rocky surfaces, the outer planets are gas giants.All of the outer planets have rings. None of the inner planets does.All of the outer planets have several moons, some of them quite large.
What characteristics set the inner planets apart from the outer planet and name the outer planets?
The inner planets are all rocky planets, whereas the outer planets are gas giants. Pluto is the exception. The outer planets also make 99% of our planets and are outside the asteroid belt.
What do all the outer planets have in common?
All the outer planets in our solar system are gas giants with no solid surfaces. They are composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, and have thick atmospheres. They are also much larger in size than the inner rocky planets.
Explain how the inner planets are different from the outer planets?
The inner planets, also called terrestrial planets, are closer to the Sun and have solid surfaces, while the outer planets, known as gas giants, are farther from the Sun and composed mostly of gas. Inner planets are smaller and have higher densities, while outer planets are much larger and have lower densities. Additionally, inner planets have few or no moons, while outer planets have numerous moons.
What is a small piece of space rock that enters the earth's atmosphere called?
It is a meteorite
What makes the inner planets different from the outer planets?
The inner planets are small and rocky, the outer planets are much larger and have no solid surface, they are called the gas giants.

What is a small collection of small planets that travel around the sun between the inner and outer planets?
Asteroid belt
What is at the center of all the outer planets?
Outer planets may have small rocky centers, or possibly centers of frozen hydrogen, we are not sure.
How are dwarf planets unlike inner and outer planets?
If you mean "unlike our solar system's inner and outer planets," your question still does not make sense. You may be referring to "brown dwarfs," which are would-be stars that never got enough mass to ignite. Planetoids or planetesimals are small bodies, usually irregular, not round, and much smaller than either inner or outer planets of our solar system. The outer planets are gas giants or frozen-atmosphere small planets. Pluto's status is still a matter of debate. The International Astronomical Society decided it was not a planet, despite the fact that is is round and has a planet-like orbit. They concluded it was too small to be a planet. It is not called a dwarf planet.
The outer planets are made up of what gases?
The outer planets are made up of mostly hydrogen and helium, with small amounts of water, ammonia and methane. The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Is Jupiter the only outer planet that is small and rocky?
It is not small and rocky, it is a gas giant!
What is the main difference between the inner planets and the outer planets?
The inner planets are smaller, and do not have the dense atmospheres of the outer planets. The four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) have warmer temperatures than the exteriors of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune).The "gas giants" have very hot lower atmospheres, caused by the intense pressure. The atmospheres are mostly hydrogen, but for Uranus and Neptune there are higher levels of water, methane, and ammonia. All of the gas giants have multiple moons and rings, the most visible being the ice rings around Saturn.they are divided by inner and outer and the outer planet are the planets that have bigger planets.

Which of the planets has no atmosphere?
Mercury is the smallest of the eight planets, and is the only one not to have an atmosphere. This is due to its small size and close proximity to the sun.
