In our own solar system, the only planets with many moons are outer planets.

It seems likely that if there were a large planet close to a companion star, the star's gravity would strip away any orbiting moons. However, we have no way of detecting the moons of any extrasoloar planets.

How are outer planets diffrent from inner planets?

The Inner Planets (Mercury, Venus. Earth, and Mars) have many differences between the Outer Planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune), some of the main ones as follows: • All the Inner Planets are terrestrial planets, while the Outer Planets are gaseous planets. • Comparably, the Outer Planets are much bigger than the Inner Planets. • Mars, the Inner Planet with the most moons has no more than 2 moons. However, each of the Outer Planets have at the very least 10 moons each. • The Outer Planets have much longer orbital periods than the Inner Planets, due to the fact that they're further away from the Sun. • Venus, the Inner Planet second closest to the Sun, has extremely hot temperature conditions (an average of 870 F or 450 C), but the Outer Planets have very cold weather, all in negative degrees of at least -240 F or -150 C. Also, Venus is the hottest planet, and Uranus is the coldest one.

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.
