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.
What else can I help you with?
Why do gas giants generally lhave lower average temperaturers than the terrestrial planets?
they are farther from the sun
What separates the terrestrial planets from the gas giants?
One key difference is their composition: terrestrial planets are mainly made of rock and metal, while gas giants are mostly composed of hydrogen and helium. Gas giants are also much larger in size and have thick atmospheres, while terrestrial planets have solid surfaces. Additionally, gas giants are typically located farther from the Sun in the outer regions of a solar system.
What are the planets made of gas called?
There are four planets that are made out of gas: Jupiter, Saturn, Urans and Neptune. These planets are called the "gas giants" . The other four planets (Earth, Mercury, Venus and Mars) are mostly made out of rock.
How are the inner planets and the outer planets different and alike?
The inner planets, also known as terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars), are smaller, rockier, and have solid surfaces. The outer planets, also called gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune), are larger, primarily made of gas, and have no solid surface. Both sets of planets orbit the Sun, but inner planets are closer to the Sun and have shorter orbital periods, while outer planets are farther away and have longer orbital periods.
What planets made of gas?
all planets are gaseous(made out of gas)EXCEPT Pluto because it does not exist any more
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.
Why do outer planets have gas?
because the outer planets are made of gas.
Why are most planets made of gas instead of rock?
Most planets made of gas are located farther from the Sun, where temperatures are cooler. This allows gases like hydrogen and helium to accumulate and form gas giants. In contrast, planets closer to the Sun are composed of heavier elements, like rock and metal, due to higher temperatures and solar winds.
What does the name gas giants suggest about four of the planets?
The planets are made out of gas.
Are otter planets made out of gas?
i think the question is " are other planets made out of gas" because as far as i know there are no otter planets, although that would be cool. not all planets are made out of gas, some are gas though. neptune is a gas giant, that's just one example though
What is the difference between terrestial planets and outer planets?
terrestrial are planets that are the inner planets since there are made up of rock. but on the other hand. the outer planets are the gas giants. or the outer planets. they are made up of various gasses.
What are the four inner planets are they made of gases or rocks?
The four inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They are predominantly made of rocks and metals, with varying compositions and densities. Gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn are located farther out in our solar system.
What are the outer planets and how are they similar?
The outer planets are the planets that are made of gas. Each of the outer planets are mad of gas and can not hold life.
Compare and contrast terrestrial and Jovian planets?
Terrestrial planets, like Earth and Mars, are small, rocky, and have solid surfaces. They have thin atmospheres and are closer to the sun. Jovian planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn, are gas giants with thick atmospheres of hydrogen and helium. They are much larger, have no solid surfaces, and are farther away from the sun.
How do the periods of rotation and revolution for the gas giants planets differ from those of earth?
Their farther awat from the sun
