The inner planets are smaller than the outer planets. This may be because the outer planets are called gas giants. This means that gas can accumulate in size at times, and this can be one of the situations.

Which planets are closest together-the inner or the outer planets?
The inner plants. The size and distance of the outer planets means they have longer and more spaced out orbits
What are the two inner planets most alike in size?
The Earth and Venus.
What are some similarities of the inner and outer planets?
Inner and outer planets have some things that are in common but there mostly way different. For instants they both orbit the sun. On the other hand the outer planets are made mostly by gas, that's why they are called the gas giants. The inner planets are mostly made by rock and dust. The inner planets are called Terrestrial planets and the outer planets are called Jovian planets. The inner planets are closer to the sun, have more density, they have less moons, there about the size of Earth, and they rotate slowly. The outer planets (Jovian Planets) are farther from the sun, they have less density, they have more moons, they are large, about the size of Jupiter, they rotate rapidly, and they have more mass. These planets are alike because they both orbit the sun.
The most obvious difference between the terrestrial and the jovian planets is?
The size. The gaseous Jovian planets are far larger than the inner terrestrial planets.
What are the main differences between the inner planets?
The size, atmosphere, composition, and crust activity.
How is the size of the outer planets different from the size of the inner planets?
They are all bigger
What is the major difference between smaller inner planets and larger outer?
The relative size of the gaseous atmosphere - mostly due to the amount of hydrogen in that atmosphere.
Are all inner planets the same size?
No.
What is the relative size of the outer planets?
the relative size of the other planet is Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus.
Which planets are closest together-the inner or the outer planets?
The inner plants. The size and distance of the outer planets means they have longer and more spaced out orbits
What are the two inner planets most alike in size?
The Earth and Venus.
None of the inner planets have what?
none of the inner planets
Why are inner planets different than outer planets?
Inner planets. are inner & outer planets. are outer
Which characteristics do all inner planets share?
High density, small size.
List inner planets and why they are inner planets?
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They are "inner" because the are the first 4 planets from the Sun.

What is the largest of the inner planets?
Of the four inner planets in our solar system, Earth's moon boasts the largest size. Mercury and Venus have none; the moons of Mars are tiny by comparison.
