Explain why the outer planets did not lose the light gases in their atmospheres?
In order for gas to leave a planet it needs to be hot enough and to overcome the planet's gravity. The outer planets are colder and are very massive in comparison to Earth.
What do the outer planets have that the inner planets do not have?
outer planets are gas giants whille inner planets are just rocky planets. that includes that outer planets have significant amount of mass than the inner planets
Did outer planets lose the light gases in their atmosphere?
no.
How are the inner and outer planets different?
There are a lot of differences between the inner and outer planets. First of all, they inner planets are also known as the "Rocky planets". THey are rocky, hence their name "Rocky planets". And the outer planets are also known as "Gas Giants." THey are mainly composed of gas, hence their name, "Gas Giants." Another difference is their mass. The outer planets have greater mass than the inner planets. In other words, they are heavier.The inner planets follow orbital paths which, like those of the outer planets,are centered on the sun. But the inner planets, without exception, are nearerto the sun than any of the outer planets are.
What are 3 differences between the outer and inner planets?
The inner planets are small, the outer planets are huge in comparison.The inner planets have rocky surfaces, the outer planets are gas giants.All of the outer planets have rings. None of the inner planets does.All of the outer planets have several moons, some of them quite large.
Why do outer planets have gas?
because the outer planets are made of gas.
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.
What planets are in the outer planets?
gas giants.
What is the nickname of the outer planets?
gas planets
What is the main reason you could not land on outer planets er planets?
The outer planets are gas planets
Are gas giants a surface type?
Yes because the four outer planets,Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are gas planets. They are known for their gas. The outer planets (closer to the sun) have rocky surfaces. So the outer planets have gas surfaces
Are the inner planets larger then the outer planets and are they made of gas?
No. The outer planets are larger and are mainly gaseous.
What is the other name for outer planets?
The outer planets are Gas Giants, also known as Jovian planets.
What planets are mosty balls of gas?
The outer planets
Explain why the outer planets did not lose the light gases in their atmospheres?

What do outer planets have in common?
Outer planets are gas planets and they are outside the astroid belt and are further away from the sun.
Are outer planets larger and rockier than inner planets?
they are larger but not rockier then the inner planets the outer planets are made of gas.
