Each of the four inner rocky planets have a 'rocky' terrain, a well defined solid surface. The four outer planets, the gas giants, dont have a clear surface, they are made of gas which gets thicker and thicker further into the planet. So the answer is yes.

How does the length of a year compare between inner and outter planets?

The outer planets take longer to go round because (i) they are further away and (ii) they move more slowly because the Sun's gravity is weaker out there.

Which type of planets have more moons?

Gas giants tend to have more moons compared to terrestrial planets. This is because gas giants have larger mass and stronger gravitational pull, allowing them to capture and retain more moons in their orbit.


Are comets more similar to the inner planets or the outer planets?

They are more similar to the inner planets, since they are rocky and icy in nature instead of gaseous.

How are the inner planets different then the outer planets how?

The inner planets have rocky, hard surfaces, are small, and have a more presentage of containing metal objects.


Are the outer planets lighter than the inner planets?

No, the outer planets are not lighter than the inner planets. In fact, the outer planets are generally much larger and more massive than the inner planets. This is because they are primarily composed of gases and ice, which makes them less dense but more massive.


How do inner planets differ?

Inner planets differ from outer planets because they have rocky core (excepting Pluto), and the are much smaller than outer planets, which are bigger and take more time to orbit Sun than inner planets because of their location. Outer planets are farther from the Sun than inner planets.


Comparing inner and outer planets movement?

The inner planets travel faster around the Sun because they are closer, while the outer planets take more time. The outer planets spin faster on their axis than the inner planets.


Which group of planets has more in common the inner planets or the outer planets?

The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have more in common with each other compared to the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). The inner planets are often referred to as terrestrial planets and are characterized by their solid surfaces and relatively small sizes, while the outer planets are gas giants with no solid surface and much larger sizes.

Which of the outer planets has a surface more similar to the inner planets than to the outer planets?

Neptune has a surface more similar to the inner planets than to the other outer planets. It is primarily composed of rock and ice, similar to the composition of the inner planets, whereas the other outer planets are predominantly gas giants.
