They don't...

An inner planet such as Mercury has an orbital speed of 107,00 MPH when compared to the outer most "planet" Pluto which rotates at 10,500 MPH. The gravitational restraints of the sun is greater on the inner planets than the outer allowing them to rotate faster without flying off into space. It's simple physics, the concepts of Centrifugal Force.

What distinguishes inner planets and outer planets?

Inner planets have a radius orbit shorter than the orbit of Jupiter. Outer planets are all the other planets of the solar system.


How are outer planets similar to inner planets?

They are similar in that both the inner and outer planets all orbit the sun.


How is Pluto not like the 4 inner planets?

Pluto is different from the inner planets in that it has not cleared it's orbit from asteroids.


What distinguish the inner and outer planets?

This is a very basic answer, but maybe it's what you're looking for. The inner planets are rocky, have no rings, and are smaller. The outer planets are large, gaseous, and have rings.


How do the inner planets travel around the sun than the outer planets?

The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have shorter orbits and faster speeds, completing their orbits in less time than the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). The inner planets are closer to the sun, so they experience stronger gravitational forces that cause them to orbit more rapidly, while the outer planets move more slowly due to their greater distance from the sun.


What are two similarities about the inner and outer planets?

Both inner and outer planets orbit around the sun and have roughly spherical shapes. Additionally, they are part of the same solar system and are composed of similar elements, such as rock and metal for inner planets, and gas and ice for outer planets.


What are inner and outer planets What is the difference?

In our solar system; Inner planets are planets that have an orbit which lies within the asteroid belt. Outer planets are planets which have an orbit which lies outside the orbit of the asteroid belt. The asteroid belt lies between Mars and Jupiter. Therefore the inner planets would be in order away form the sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The outer planets in the same order are; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.


How are inner planets and gas giants similar?

they orbit the sun and are the first four outer planets


What takes long to orbit the sun inner or outer planets?

The outer planets take longer.


Do inner planets move?

Yes. All planets move in orbit around their host star.


Do the inner planets have direct or in direct orbit?

All the planets have direct orbits round the Sun.


How are inner and outer planets the same?

The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, while the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are the same in that they are spherical, the orbit the Sun in the same direction and they have an elliptical orbit.
