What are inner planets and sometimes what are they called?

Inner planets are a group of terrestrial planets that orbit closest to the sun in our solar system. They are also known as the "rocky planets" and include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets have solid surfaces, are composed mainly of rock and metal, and have relatively high densities compared to the outer gas giants.


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.


Do inner planets have more moons than outer planets?

Yes, Jupiter and Saturn each of 60 some moons, while Uranus and Neptune have around twenty. The dwarf planet Pluto has three moons.

Why do mercury Venus earth and mars have three names inner planets the rockies and the terrestrials?

These planets are referred to as the inner planets because they lie closer to the Sun compared to the outer planets. They are also known as the rocky planets because they have solid surfaces made of rock and metal. Lastly, they are called terrestrial planets because they have Earth-like characteristics such as solid surfaces and potential for supporting life.
