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 makes the inner terrestrial planets unique?
The four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars), they have a clearly defined terrain (unlike the four outer gas giant planets). They are smaller than the gas planets, but have a higher density.
Two ways in which Pluto is different from the outer planets?
It is extremely small and it has no rings!
Name some ways inner planets are similar?
they are all small rocky planets [earth,mercury,venus,mars]
What are three ways that planets like mercury is different from a planet like neptune?
The four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets. These are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. These have much smaller diameters than the outer gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) The inner planets have higher densities than the outer planets, despite being smaller and much lower in mass. The inner planets have a clearly defined surface. The inner planets are warmer and are much closer to the sun. The closer to the sun the planet is, the shorter its orbit period.
What are two ways that the eight planets can be classified?
They can be classed as terrestrial planets or gas giants, or inner and outer.
What are two similarities about the inner and outer planets?
Both inner and outer planets orbit around the sun and have roughly spherical shapes. Additionally, they are part of the same solar system and are composed of similar elements, such as rock and metal for inner planets, and gas and ice for outer planets.
The four outer planets lie beyond what?
The outer planets lie beyond the asteroid belt.
What are three ways that the outer and inner planets are alike?
Shape, rotation-direction, and orbit-direction.
How are the inner planets differrent from the outer planets?
The inner plants are different from the outer planets from many ways...here is the list of different ways they are different.Inner planets:1. Terrestrial2. Rocky surface3.Cores made out of ironThe four inner planets are Mars, Venus, Earth, and Mercury.Outer planets:1.Gas giants2.Surface is made up of a slush that forms from their gaseous atmosphere3.Surface are not solid but cores areThe four outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
What are three ways that the inner planets are different from the putter planets?
The inner planets are rocky, with distinct solid surfaces, and dense, whereas the outer planets are gaseous, have no solid surface and are relatively light in comparison. The density of Saturn, for example, is less than that of water.
What are three ways the inner planets are different ftom the outter planets?

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 are 3 ways inner planets are alike?
The four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets. These are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The inner planets all have a clear solid surface, unlike gaseous planets. The inner planets do not have a ring system. The inner planets are of similar densities.
What are the two major ways that the terrestrial planets and the jovian planets differ?
Terrestrial planets are small, rocky, and have solid surfaces, while jovian planets are large, gaseous, and lack solid surfaces. Jovian planets also have thick atmospheres composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, while terrestrial planets have thinner atmospheres with varying compositions.
What makes the inner terrestrial planets unique?
The four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars), they have a clearly defined terrain (unlike the four outer gas giant planets). They are smaller than the gas planets, but have a higher density.
Why are the four closest planets to the sun are of terrestrial nature and the last four are of gaseous-icy nature?
The gas giants and the terrestrial planets initially formed in similar ways, however, the powerful solar wind of the young sun stripped away the first atmospheres of the inner planets. The outer planets were less affected by this and so retained their thick atmospheres of hydrogen and helium. Today, the outer planets recieve much less heat from the sun than do the inner planets, allowing various ices to form.
