The Inner Planets (Mercury, Venus.

However, each of the Outer Planets have at the very least 10 moons each. • The Outer Planets have much longer orbital periods than the Inner Planets, due to the fact that they're further away from the Sun. • Venus, the Inner Planet second closest to the Sun, has extremely hot temperature conditions (an average of 870 F or 450 C), but the Outer Planets have very cold weather, all in negative degrees of at least -240 F or -150 C. Also, Venus is the hottest planet, and Uranus is the coldest one.
