What is the combined diameter of all the inner planets?
the combined diameter of the inner planets is 22,690 miles, or 26% the diameter of Jupiter.
Do Inner planets rings and satellites more rings and satellites than outer planets?
I do not understand the question - the inner planets have no rings, and only Earth and Mars have moons.
Why do the planets that are closer to the sun have a higher density?
They don't. In our own solar system this is at best only approximately true. Each of the four inner planets is more dense than any of the four outer planets, but comparing the planets in order from the sun outward, the relationship between them goes:* Merury is more dense than * Venus, which is less dense than * Earth, which is more dense than * Mars, which is more dense than * Jupiter, which is more dense than * Saturn, which is less dense than * Uranus, which is less dense than * Neptune. So, of the possible ways to choose neighboring planets, the inner one is more dense than the outer one in only 4 of 7 cases. Statistically this is no different from what would be expected had they been chosen entirely at random.It was believed until fairly recently that the inner/outer planet division happened because planets near a star (relatively speaking) would be too hot to retain much gas, so inner planets would be terrestrial (high density) and outer planets would be gas giants (low density). The discovery that "Hot Jupiters" not only exist but seem to be fairly common has cast doubt on previous notions, and it's possible that it will turn out that the way our own solar system is arranged is simply a coincidence.
What sort of surfaces do the inner planets have?
The inner, or terrestrial planets are more dense than the outer planets/gas giants/jovian planets. Through a process of differentiation we find inner planets to typically consist of a molten iron core and a less dense silicate crust.
Of the four planets closest to the sun which is the largest?
With a diameter of 12756 km, Earth is the largest of the four inner planets. Venus is the next largest inner planet after the Earth with a diameter of 12104 km.
What is the size and density of the 5th planet from the sun?
Jupiters density is around 1.33 g/cc on average, less dense than Earth and the other inner planets, but much more massive overall. Diameter of Jupiter (at the equator) is around 88,847 miles (compared to 7926 miles for the earth). Jupiters circumference at the equator is around 449,202 miles (compared with 40,075 miles for the earth). Jupiters volume is 1321 times that of Earths.
What are Jupiters major moons?
Jupiter has 63 confirmed moons, and 8 regular satellites (split into Main Group and Inner Satellites). The four largest (Main Group or Galilean Moons) are terms of relative mass are Ganymede, Callisto, Io and Europa. The other four moons (Inner Satellites or Amalthea Group) are called Metis, Adrastea, Amalthea and Thebe. For further information enter 'moons of Jupiter' in WIKI.
Is the inner core not very dense?
The inner core is very dense. It is the densest part of the planet.
What is more dense inner-core or outer-core?
The inner core is more dense than the outer core.
What is the combined diameter of all the inner planets?
the combined diameter of the inner planets is 22,690 miles, or 26% the diameter of Jupiter.
What is the least dense crust outer core mantle or the inner core?
The crust is the least dense. The inner core is the most dense. So from the middle outwards the layers get less and less dense
What are the adjectives in the sentence The short dense fur of the inner layer of the coat is light in color?
short dense inner and light
Are inner planets small and dense?
no they are not
Do Inner planets rings and satellites more rings and satellites than outer planets?
I do not understand the question - the inner planets have no rings, and only Earth and Mars have moons.
Which is denser the inner or the outer core?
the inner core is more dense
How do you choose bevel gear diameter?
the inner diameter is the shaft diameter the out diameter you have to calculated
What inner planet has the largest diameter?
Earth has the largest diameter of the four inner planets (12,756km at the equator).
