Why are mercuryvenusearthand Mars inner planets?

the four inner planets (mercury, venus, earth and mars) are called the inner planets because they are quite close to the sun. where as the four outer planets ( jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptue) are a lot further away from the sun.


How are the inner planets different from each other?

The Inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. They are the planets closest to the sun. They are similar in that they all have solid surfaces, are almost the same size and have at least one moon.


How are planets closest to the sun different from the planets that are farther away?

The planets that are closest to the sun get more heat than the ones more farther away. The four inner planets are dense and rocky. The four other planets have small solid cores surrounded by vast atmospheres. The four inner planets have one significant satellite among them (the moon), while each of the outer planets has many satellites. The four inner planets are small, while the outer planets are massive.


Why are the temperature on each of the other terrestrial planets more extreme than the temperature on earth?

Because there eather closer to the sun or farther way.


How do inner planets and outer planets compare?

The inner planets are having few or no moons at all, and the planet are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. And the puter planets are part of the sun mass and have no solid surface, they are also called the gas giants, and the planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. ----------------------------------------------------------ps. hi:) It's thought that during the solar system's formation, when the planets were still proto-planets, the sun "switched on" and the solar wind blew away the lighter, gaseous component of the inner planets, leaving the heavier core. The outer gas planets are too far away to have this happen.

Which inner planets have rings?

None of the four inner planets have inner rings, while each of the four outer gas planets have a ring system.


What is the difference between a terrestrial planet and a gas giant?

Each of the four inner planets have a clearly defined terrain. They are different to the gas planets, which don't have a clear solid surface. The inner planets are also much smaller and less massive, yet have a higher density than the outer planets. The inner planets have fewr moons due to their smaller mass and size. As they are closer to the sun, they orbit the sun in less time and are also warmer.


How are the inner and outer planets different from each other?

Well, the inner planets are not made up of gas like Saturn and Jupiter but Neptune and Uranus are surrounded by the gas giant


Are inner planets large or small?

The inner, or Terrestrial planets are very small in comparison to the outer, or Jovian planets. The smallest Jovian planet, Uranus, is 14.5 times larger than the largest Terrestrial planet, Earth.

Is each planet an equal distance from one another?

sorta there are inner and outer planets the inner planets are alike and outer planets are alike to but inner and outer planets are different.


Why don't planets bump into each other?

because the gravatational pull from the sun and other planets keep the planets going in a circler motion and not bumping into each other.Answerbecause the gravatational pull from the sun and other planets keep the planets going in a circler motion and not bumping into each other. the planets each have defined Elliptical, not circular, orbits that remain constant because of gravitational pull of the sun and from each other. Pluto does have such an elliptical orbit that for a time it was closer than Neptune, but they will never collide with their current paths.


Are there any planets that are closer to each other than other planets?

Yes - Mercury and Venus Venus and Earth Mars and Jupiter Jupiter and Saturn Saturn and, Uranus and Neptune and Pluto
