Which is the inner planet?
There are four planets called the "inner planets".Of those, Mercury is the innermost planet.From the sun the planets areMercuryVenusEarthMarsJupiterSaturnUranusNeptunePluto
Why must the inner planets orbit faster than the outer planets?
Precisely because: That's the way that gravity works.
Why did planets form within and beyond the frost line?
Planets formed within and beyond the frost line due to the varying temperatures in the early solar system's protoplanetary disk. Inside the frost line, where temperatures were too high for volatile compounds to condense, rocky planets formed primarily from metals and silicates. Beyond the frost line, cooler temperatures allowed for the accumulation of ices and gases, leading to the formation of gas giants and icy bodies. This differentiation in materials available at varying distances from the sun played a crucial role in shaping the diverse planetary system we observe today.
The planets were originally giant comets captured by the sun?
Our current theory of the formation of our solar system is that the planets formed more or less in their present orbits. We do not believe that the planets (with the exception of Pluto) were "captured" by the Sun's gravity.
What planets have a rocky surface?
In this solar system there are four, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
Are inner planets Rocky?
Th inner planets are rocky because as the Sun and planets formed the more volatile elements could not condense into droplets near to the hot Sun. Thus the inner planets are made form stuff with a high melting/boiling point and the outer planets (where it was cooler) are made from the gases.
Why are the inner planets different to the outer planets?
The inner planets are all considered rocky planets in that under atmospheric layers, they have a rocky surface. The outer planets are made of gas and liquid, and are called gas giants. They have no solid surface. Also, all the outer planets have rings while the inner planets do not.
Which is not true in the inner planets?
The inner planets are closer to the Sun compared to the outer planets, have solid rocky surfaces, and are smaller in size compared to the outer planets.
What do the inner planets consit of?
The inner planets are rocky and the outer planets are gas giants.
What are the rock planets?
The Rocky Planets, or Inner Planets, include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
what is another name for the inner planet?
Terrestrial Planets, or Rocky Planets.
Why are the inner planets known as the rocky planets?
they are rocky and have terrain areas the rest of the planets are all gas
Are the inner planets rocky or gassy?
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) are rocky. It is the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) that are gas planets.
What is a another name for the inner planets?
The inner planets are also known as terrestrial planets. This term is used because they have solid rocky surfaces similar to Earth's.
Which planets are rocky in your solar system?
most of inner planets
How are terrestrial planets best described?
Rocky, inner planets.
What are planets in the inner solar system called?
the rocky planets
