Because the outer planets are gas giants except for Pluto. Pluto is an outer planet because it is the object (planet) that kept interfering with Neptune's orbit. Pluto is one on hundreds of thousands of meteoroids that a around the size of our moon.

What is the main difference between the inner planets and the outer planets?

The inner planets are smaller, and do not have the dense atmospheres of the outer planets. The four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) have warmer temperatures than the exteriors of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune).The "gas giants" have very hot lower atmospheres, caused by the intense pressure. The atmospheres are mostly hydrogen, but for Uranus and Neptune there are higher levels of water, methane, and ammonia. All of the gas giants have multiple moons and rings, the most visible being the ice rings around Saturn.they are divided by inner and outer and the outer planet are the planets that have bigger planets.
