Compare and contrast Pluto with the outer planets?
Pluto is more like an inner planet and is very cold, the outer planets are gas. The outer planets are cold Pluto.Aside from being, on average, the farthest planet from the Sun, Pluto and its orbit have several characteristics that make it unique. Its greater distance means its orbital period of 248 years is the longest of all planets. Its orbit has the highest eccentricity, which means that its distance from the Sun varies more than other planets. Its orbit is so far from circular that it can actually be closer to the Sun than Neptune at times.The plane of Pluto's orbit is also tilted the most compared to the rest, taking it further north and south of the Earth's orbital plane than the otherplanets.
What four inner planets are larger than the outer planets?
The inner planets are smaller than the outer planets.
What is the average size of the outer planets?
The average size of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) is significantly larger than that of the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars). They are all gas giants with diameters ranging from about 49,528 km for Uranus to about 142,984 km for Jupiter.
Is Pluto closer to the sun?
Pluto is farther from the sun than any of the 8 major planets. There are other dwarf planets farther from the sun than Pluto though.
Why is the temperature of Pluto lower than that of the planets in our solar system?
Pluto is colder than any of the planets in our solar system because it is further away from the sun than the planets are. However, Pluto is the second warmest dwarf planet, after Ceres.
What is the size of the outer planets?
The average sizes of the outer planets are smallest than the average size of the Pluto so that they can called them the dwarf planets.
What are the outter planets?
Inner planets are closer to the sun than the outer planets. Inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The outer planets are Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, and Jupiter (and maybe Pluto. The inner and outer planets are separated by a large distance and an asteroid belt. The inner planets are "rocky" the outer planets are gaseous (with the exception of Pluto.
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.
How is Pluto's orbit different from other planets orbits?
Pluto's orbit is longer and slower than other planets.
How is Pluto different from other planets?
It is a dwarf planet. It is smaller than the other planets.
Are the out planets the same as the inner planets?
No. All of the outer planets, (unincluding the dwarf planet Pluto) are all made of gas, and far larger than the inner planets.

How is Pluto different form the other outer planets?
Pluto is different because it is the only planet with an unusual orbit, instead of a regular circle orbit. It is also so much smaller than the other planets so we now call it a dwarf planet, not a real planet.Sources: my brain :P
Why is Pluto very different from the other planets?
Pluto is a dwarf planet. It is smaller than the other planets. It also has a very irregular orbit.
What is the number of outer planets?
There are four outer planets : Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Pluto was once designated as a planet, but was reclassified as a "dwarf planet". The four "inner planets" are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
Are the inner and outer planets different?
The inner planets are all rocky planets. The outer planets are completely made up of gases. The inner planets are much smaller than the outer planets.
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.
