What are the planets that are far from the sun?
the planets away from the sun are called outer planets. They are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and if you consider it a planet Pluto.
Can you differentiate the outer planets from the inner planets?
The inner planets, which are closest to the Sun, are:MercuryVenusEarthMarsThe outer planets, which are farther away from the sun are:JupiterSaturnUranusNeptune
How does the length of a day on the inner four contrast with the length of a day on the outer four?
The inner four terrestrial planets have shorter days compared to the outer four gas giants. This is because the inner planets rotate more quickly due to their smaller size and proximity to the sun, while the outer gas giants rotate more slowly because of their larger size and distance from the sun.
Are the outer planets the 5 planets farthest from the sun?
Yes, sort of, Pluto has been officially downgraded from a planet. The four farthest planets are now all "gas giants".
What order do the outer planets occur from the sun?
The order of the outer planets, from closet to the sun to furthest away from the sun, is Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, then Neptune.
What are the planets that are far from the sun?
the planets away from the sun are called outer planets. They are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and if you consider it a planet Pluto.
How are inner planets and gas giants similar?
they orbit the sun and are the first four outer planets
How do planets farther from the sun differ from that planets that are closer to the sun?
The four outer planets are gas giants - they are much larger than the four inner planets, and they consist mainly of gas - they don't have a surface on which you can stand.
How are the inner and outer planets alike and different?
Inner and outer planets are both part of the solar system, but they differ in composition and location. Inner planets are rocky and located closer to the sun, while outer planets are gas giants and located farther away. Both sets of planets have natural satellites, but the outer planets tend to have more moons.
Why are some planets referred to as outer planets?
The planets in the solar system can be sorted to two types: inner planets that are the four closer planets to the Sun, which are rocky and small. And outer planets which are the four other planets which are gaseous and very large.
Is mercury a gas or a rocky terrestrial?
Mercury is a rocky planet. The inner planets (first four planets from the sun) are rocky planets (which means that you could stand on them) and are the smallest. While the outer planets (last four planets from the sun) are gas planets and the biggest.
Is Mercury a giant or a rocky terrestrial?
Mercury is a rocky planet. The inner planets (first four planets from the sun) are rocky planets (which means that you could stand on them) and are the smallest. While the outer planets (last four planets from the sun) are gas planets and the biggest.
The four outer planets?
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune (in order of distance from the sun).
Why are some planets referred to as the inner planets and others as the outer planets?
Because the four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are the four planets closest to the sun. These smaller planets are all inside the asteroid belt. The larger planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are outside the asteroid belt and thus called the outer planets.
Can you differentiate the outer planets from the inner planets?
The inner planets, which are closest to the Sun, are:MercuryVenusEarthMarsThe outer planets, which are farther away from the sun are:JupiterSaturnUranusNeptune
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
What are the four planets closest to the suns called?
The four planets closest to the sun are called the inner planets. They are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The asteroid belt lies between the inner and outer planets.
