Pluto is no longer classified as a planet, but it was formerly considered an outer planet because it is beyond the asteroid belt.

Is the sun a inner planet or a outter planet?

The Sun is neither an inner planet nor an outer planet. It is a star located at the center of our solar system. Inner planets, like Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are the planets closer to the Sun, while outer planets, like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are the planets farther from the Sun.


What are three ways the inner planets are different ftom the outter planets?

Inner planets are rocky and terrestrial, while outer planets are gas giants. Inner planets are smaller in size and have solid surfaces, while outer planets are larger and lack a solid surface. Inner planets have shorter orbital periods and are closer to the sun, while outer planets have longer orbital periods and are farther from the sun.


What is the main difference between the inner planets and the outer planets?

The inner planets are smaller, and do not have the dense atmospheres of the outer planets. The four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) have warmer temperatures than the exteriors of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune).The "gas giants" have very hot lower atmospheres, caused by the intense pressure. The atmospheres are mostly hydrogen, but for Uranus and Neptune there are higher levels of water, methane, and ammonia. All of the gas giants have multiple moons and rings, the most visible being the ice rings around Saturn.they are divided by inner and outer and the outer planet are the planets that have bigger planets.

What do you call the inner planets called?

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.
