Light element found in most of the outer planets?

Hydrogen is the most abundant light element found in the outer planets of our solar system, including Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. It can exist in different forms, such as molecular hydrogen and metallic hydrogen, under the extreme pressure and temperature conditions found in these giant planets.


Explain why the outer planets did not lose the light gases in their atmospheres?

Outer planets like Jupiter and Saturn have stronger gravity due to their larger masses, which helps them retain light gases in their atmospheres. Additionally, the colder temperatures in the outer solar system reduce the speed of gas particles, making it more difficult for them to escape the planets' gravitational pull. These factors combined allow the outer planets to hold on to their light gases.


What do the outer planets have that the inner planets do not have?

outer planets are gas giants whille inner planets are just rocky planets. that includes that outer planets have significant amount of mass than the inner planets
