What are the small planets with orbits between mars and Jupiter?
Asteroids
Do the inner planets have closely spaced orbits?
Yes, the inner planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—have relatively closely spaced orbits compared to the outer planets. Their orbits are tighter and more compact, primarily due to their proximity to the Sun. This results in shorter orbital periods and smaller average distances between their orbits compared to the larger, more distant orbits of the outer planets.
How do the distances between the orbits of the inner planets compare to the distances between the orbits of the outer planets?
The distances between the orbits of the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are relatively small compared to those of the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). The inner planets are closely spaced, with smaller gaps between their orbits, while the outer planets have much larger distances between them due to the exponential increase in orbital radius as one moves away from the Sun. This pattern reflects the differing formation processes and gravitational influences in the solar system.
What is smaller a planet or a moon?
Size is not the differentiation of whether something is a planet or moon. The difference is what ir orbits. A planet orbits a star, and only a star. A moon orbits a planet. A moon is always smaller than the planet it belongs to, but some large moons are bigger than small planets. Ganymede and Titan are both larger than the planet Mercury, but are still much smaller than than planets they orbit, Jupiter and Saturn.
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.
Do denser planets have larger orbits in the solar system?
no, then inner solid planets are more dense than the outer gas planets

Why are dwarf planets different?
Dwarf planets are very small and usually have much more elliptical orbits than normal planets.

Does the sun have mons?
Do you mean MOONS? No, only planets have moons. The objects orbiting a star are called planets if they are large enough, and asteroids if they are small. Comets also orbit stars, but in larger orbits that take them out of the solar system and back.
What is called a small body which orbits a larger body?
satellite

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 a moons motion compare to a planets motion?
A moon orbits around a planet, while a planet orbits around a star. Moons tend to have faster and smaller orbits compared to planets, which follow larger and slower orbits around the star. Additionally, moons' orbits are influenced by the gravitational pull of their host planet, whereas planets are not typically influenced by other celestial bodies in the same way.
Is Neptune a small planet?
No, it is one of the larger planets.
