Why do larger planets rotate on their axis faster than smaller ones?
Larger planets have more mass and therefore more gravitational pull, which accelerates their rotation. This is related to the conservation of angular momentum, where a larger planet will naturally rotate faster to balance its increased mass.
Are outer planets or inner planets larger?
The outer planets are larger.
Which type of planets are the larger planets?
the planets jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune are the larger planets. They are also called jovian/giant planets.
Are outer planets larger and rockier than inner planets?
they are larger but not rockier then the inner planets the outer planets are made of gas.
Do gas planets rotate around their axes faster than rock ones?
Yes, gas planets tend to rotate faster around their axes than rocky planets. This is because gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn have less dense atmospheres and larger sizes, which allows them to rotate more quickly due to conservation of angular momentum. Rock planets like Earth and Mars have denser compositions and smaller sizes, leading to slower rotation speeds.

Why do larger planets rotate faster?
Because planets don't consist of pure mass. They are shells. The faster the planet rotates the more centrifugal force is applied and all of the matter gets pushed outside. Jupiter is flattened at the top and bottom because of this force. Hurricanes and Tornadoes all have a hollow interior because of centrifugal force when they are spinning. This is why the faster a planet spins the larger it gets (it would be safe to say that a larger planet has a thinner crust). Comments: 1) There are obvious exceptions to this "rule", but there does seem to be a link between planet mass and rotation speed. 2) There is the problem of dealing with two very different types of planets (terrestrial planets and gas planets). 3) From what I've read, planetary scientists have not yet got a complete theory to explain this phenomenon. There are several theories. Angular momentum seems to be very important.
Are outer planets or inner planets larger?
The outer planets are larger.
Which type of planets are the larger planets?
the planets jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune are the larger planets. They are also called jovian/giant planets.
Are the inner planets larger then the outer planets and are they made of gas?
No. The outer planets are larger and are mainly gaseous.
Are outer planets larger and rockier than inner planets?
they are larger but not rockier then the inner planets the outer planets are made of gas.
Is mass larger on bidder planets or smaller?
Mass does not change with gravity. Weight increases on BIGGER planets and decreases on smaller planets.
What two planets are larger than the moon?
Actually all the current planets are larger than our moon.
What is larger an asteroid or a planet?
Planets are larger, generally much larger.
Do gas planets rotate around their axes faster than rock ones?
Yes, gas planets tend to rotate faster around their axes than rocky planets. This is because gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn have less dense atmospheres and larger sizes, which allows them to rotate more quickly due to conservation of angular momentum. Rock planets like Earth and Mars have denser compositions and smaller sizes, leading to slower rotation speeds.
Does an octagon or hexagon have a larger interior angle?
which to has a larger interior angle, octagon or hexagon?
Why does the moon appear to be larger than the planets?
The moon appears much larger than the planets because it is closer.
