What are the inner planets some time called?

The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Because of the most part, they have rocky terrain, they are also called Terrestrial Planets.


Why do the outer planets have more moons than the the inner planets?

because the planets are bigger and catch the sattelites as they are moving by. the inner planets are smallet and have less gravity, therefore not getting as much to catch some of the heavier sattelites. they are also the last planets to try and get them


What are some differences between Pluto and solid inner planets?

One major difference is their size. Pluto is significantly smaller than the solid inner planets like Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury. Another difference is their composition. Inner planets are primarily composed of rock and metal, while Pluto is composed mostly of ice and rock. Additionally, inner planets have clear and defined orbits around the Sun, while Pluto's orbit is more eccentric and tilted.


Are the orbits of inner planets relatively closely spaced?

Yes, the orbits of inner planets in our solar system are relatively closely spaced compared to the outer planets. This is due to the gravitational influence of the massive gas giants further out, which helps maintain the spacing of the inner planets.


Which is the inner planet in the solar system?

The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. They are also known as the four rocky or terrestrial planets and are the planets on the sunward side of the main asteroid belt.

Why do they call some planets Inner and Outer planets?

The inner and outer planets are broken up by the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are "inner planets" because they are on the side of the asteroid belt closest to the sun. All other planets are considered "outer planets".

Why are the 4 planets called terrestrial planets?

They are called the terrestrial planets because they are similar to Earth (in fact one of them is Earth.


Why are some of the planets in your solar system called the inner planets?

Because they are in the asteroid belt. The planets that are outside of the asteroid belt are called the outer planets.

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.


What are some similarities of the inner and outer planets?

Inner and outer planets have some things that are in common but there mostly way different. For instants they both orbit the sun. On the other hand the outer planets are made mostly by gas, that's why they are called the gas giants. The inner planets are mostly made by rock and dust. The inner planets are called Terrestrial planets and the outer planets are called Jovian planets. The inner planets are closer to the sun, have more density, they have less moons, there about the size of Earth, and they rotate slowly. The outer planets (Jovian Planets) are farther from the sun, they have less density, they have more moons, they are large, about the size of Jupiter, they rotate rapidly, and they have more mass. These planets are alike because they both orbit the sun.
