There are four inner, or rocky planets. these are Mercury, Venus, earth and Mars. The average sun to Earth distance is how one Astronomical Unit is defined (1 AU).

The average distances of the four inner planets from the sun are as follows;

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 inner planets are closer to the sun than outer planets?

The inner planets are closer to the sun than the outer planets because of the way the solar system formed. When the solar system was still a swirling disk of gas and dust, the inner planets formed closer to the center where it was hotter, while the outer planets formed in the colder regions farther away. This distribution of planets based on temperature led to the inner planets being closer to the sun than the outer planets.

How are planets closest to the sun different from the planets that are farther away?

The planets that are closest to the sun get more heat than the ones more farther away. The four inner planets are dense and rocky. The four other planets have small solid cores surrounded by vast atmospheres.

The four inner planets are small, while the outer planets are massive.
