What is the main difference between the orbits of the inner outer planets?

The main difference between the orbits of inner and outer planets is their distance from the Sun. Inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have shorter orbits and are closer to the Sun, while outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have longer orbits and are farther away from the Sun. Additionally, outer planets are larger and predominantly composed of gas and ice, while inner planets are smaller and have rocky surfaces.


What is a small rocky object smaller than a planet that orbits the sun and many found between mars and Jupiter and called minor planet?

The object you are describing is likely an asteroid. Asteroids are small rocky bodies that orbit the sun, primarily found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. They are often referred to as minor planets due to their size and composition.


Which two planets orbits does the asteroid belt occurs?

Technically speaking, the asteroid belt doesn't "run through" any planets but between two planets. As such, the asteroid belt is located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.


Which planets did they find an asteroid belt between?

The asteroid belt is found between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.


What is a Small rocky object that orbits the sun in a belt between Mars and Jupiter?

A small rocky object that orbits the Sun in a belt between Mars and Jupiter is known as an asteroid. This region is commonly referred to as the asteroid belt, where thousands of these objects, composed mainly of rock and metal, reside. Asteroids vary in size and shape, and they are remnants from the early solar system that never coalesced into a planet.

Small rocky object that orbits the sun?

An asteroid is a small rocky object that orbits the sun. These celestial bodies are made up of rock and metal and can vary in size from just a few feet to hundreds of miles in diameter. Asteroids are mostly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but some also orbit closer to Earth.
