In between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter lies the asteroid belt. This is made up of thousands of small rocks that are in orbit around our sun. The largest of these is called Ceres, and is around 1000km in diameter, though most are smaller than a few km in diameter.

How do the distances between inner planets compare to distances between the outer planets?

The distances between inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are much smaller compared to the distances between outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). The inner planets are closer to each other, with relatively small gaps between their orbits, while the outer planets are much farther apart, with larger gaps between their orbits.


How does the distance between the inner planets differ from the distance between the outer planets?

The distance between the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) is comparatively smaller than the distance between the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) in our solar system. The inner planets are closer to the Sun and each other, while the outer planets are much farther apart due to the gap between the terrestrial and gas giant planets.
