In the inner solar system, at distances of less than 5 AU from the Sun.
Because the inner planets are made of rock but the outer planets are made of gas(except for Pluto).
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are planets in our solar system that are made of rock. There may be many more in other star systems.
The four planets in our Solar System are:MercuryVenusEarthMarsIf you want to know the rest of the planets here they are but they are not in our Solar System, after mars is:JupiterSaturnUranusNeptunePluto comes after Neptune but Pluto isn't known as a planet, it is known as a rock because all it is made out of is rock and is so tiny!Thank you for reading :D x
hey
Most of the Outer Planets beyond the Astroid Belt are made of gas, except for Pluto (if you consider Pluto to still be a planet). Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are all made out of gas, but they do have particles of rock and ice surrounding them, too.
tiny mollecules of rock and dirt
Because the inner planets are made of rock but the outer planets are made of gas(except for Pluto).
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are planets in our solar system that are made of rock. There may be many more in other star systems.
There are 4 rocky planets and 4 gaseous planets in the solar system
rock and gas
Yes. Earth is the largest rocky planet in the solar system Four planets in the solar system are larger than Earth, but they are made primarily of gas.
Most of the gasses were swept out of the inner solar system by the solar wind, leaving rock as the most abundant material to form planets and moons.
The Solar System[c] is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it. The largest of such objects are the eight planets, in order from the Sun: four terrestrial planets, named Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars; and four giant planets, including two gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn, and two ice giants, named Uranus and Neptune. The terrestrial planets have a definite surface and are mostly made of rock and metal. The gas giants are mostly made of hydrogen and helium, while the ice giants are mostly made of volatile substances such as water, ammonia, and methane. In some texts, these terrestrial and giant planets are called the inner Solar System and outer Solar System planets respectively.
Most planets are made of some kind of terrain and atmosphere. Most planets in our solar system have a terrain that consists of some kind of rock, ice, sand, or dirt that forms the planet and an atmosphere that consists of a gas.

Because of the rock and carbon dioxide
Early in the history of the solar system the heat and solar wind from the sun drove off most of the hydrogen, helium, and other volatile from the inner solar system, leaving behind objects made mostly of rock and metal. The gas giants in the outer solar system were far enough from the sun to escape this fate.
