Hydrogen and helium were by far the most abundant elements in the early solar system. When the sun was young, it produced a very intense solar wind that swept most of these lighter gasses away, leaving behind the heavier materials. The outer solar system was less affected, so the planets forming there were able to gather these gasses through gravity.

How do the inner planets differ from the outer planets?
The inner planets are solid and aircrafts can land on them. Their temperatures are higher because the are closer to the sun. The outer planets have colder temperatures and less sunlight because they are farther away from the sun. The outer planets are also called the Gas Giants because they are made out of gas. Inner Planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars Outer Planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune Dwarf Planets: Pluto, Ceres, eris, Makemake, Haumea
Are gas planets closest or farthest from the sun?
farther
What are the main diffenrences between the inner planets and the outer planets?
Outer planets are made up of gas and dust particles, and are farther out due to their gravitational attraction to the sun, while inner planets tend to be rocky and smaller.
How do planets farther from the sun differ from that planets that are closer to the sun?
The four outer planets are gas giants - they are much larger than the four inner planets, and they consist mainly of gas - they don't have a surface on which you can stand.

How do the planets in the two groups different?
The first 4 planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are called rock planets, and the last 4, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are the gas planets. The main differences between these two groups are that the rock planets are made of rock, the gas planets are made of gas, the rock planets are typically smaller than the gas planets, and the gas planets have rings.
