Planets which began in dense matter regions have greater mass, and are able to hold onto their large, deep atmospheres of light gases like hydrogen and helium. (Jupiter's diameter is mostly atmosphere, while Earth's atmosphere is relatively shallow at about 1% of its diameter.)
What else can I help you with?
What are the 2 kinds of planets?
Rocky planets and gaseous planets.
What planets are gaseous or terrestrial?
Gaseous planets include Jupiter and Saturn, while terrestrial planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Gaseous planets are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with no solid surface, whereas terrestrial planets are rocky, with a solid surface.
Inner planets compared to outer planets?
The inner planets, also known as terrestrial planets, are smaller, rocky planets located closer to the Sun. They include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. In contrast, the outer planets, also known as gas giants, are larger, gaseous planets located farther from the Sun. They include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
What are the names of gaseous planets?
The Outer planets are often referred to as Gaseous planets. The others are the "inner planets" or rocky planets.
Which rocky planets have well-developed atmospheres?
Only Earth and Venus has a well developed atmosphere out of the rocky planets. Note that the rocky planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
Which planet is not gaseous?
The non-gaseous planets, called Rocky planets are Mercury, Venues, Earth and Mars.
What type of planet is rocky or gaseous?
The "terrestrial planets" are rocky and the "gas giant planets" are gaseous.
What are the 5 rocky planets?
The first four planets from sun Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are rocky planets other planets in solar system are gaseous or dusty planets.
What are the 2 kinds of planets?
Rocky planets and gaseous planets.
Which planets are often called the rocky planets and why are they called so?
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the Rocky planets. They are called so simply because they are rocky, their outer layer is solid. All other planets in the solar system are gaseous.
What planets are gaseous or terrestrial?
Gaseous planets include Jupiter and Saturn, while terrestrial planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Gaseous planets are primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, with no solid surface, whereas terrestrial planets are rocky, with a solid surface.
What is the other type of planet other than gaseous?
The other type of planet is terrestrial, which is made up of mostly rock and metal. Terrestrial planets, like Earth, have a solid surface and a thin atmosphere compared to gaseous planets like Jupiter or Saturn.
Which planets are terrestrial and which are gaseous planets?
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are terrestrial planets, characterized by their solid, rocky surface. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are gaseous planets, composed mostly of gas and lacking a solid surface.
If the Jupiter is much larger than the earth why does it have lower density?
because jupiter is a gaseous planet while earth is rocky.
Inner planets compared to outer planets?
The inner planets, also known as terrestrial planets, are smaller, rocky planets located closer to the Sun. They include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. In contrast, the outer planets, also known as gas giants, are larger, gaseous planets located farther from the Sun. They include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Separates the inner planets from the outer planets?
The asteroid belt separates the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) from the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). The inner planets are smaller, denser, and rocky, while the outer planets are larger, gaseous, and have rings.
Are gas planets smaller or bigger than rocky planets?
Gas planets are typically much larger than rocky planets. They are made up mostly of gases like hydrogen and helium and have lower density compared to rocky planets. Gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn can be tens or even hundreds of times larger than rocky planets like Earth.
