What are the inner planets and the outer planets and how do the planets in the two groups differ?

The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The outer planets (they are separated by the asteroid belt) are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The outer planets are different than the inner planets because the outer planets are not solid. They are all made up of gas. However, the inner planets are rocky and hard.

How are the planets of the solar system often grouped?

The planets are often grouped as the "inner planets" and the "outer planets" or as the "rocky planets" and the "gas giants." The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The outer planets are Saturn, Jupiter, and Uranus. (Pluto was an "outer planets" until it was redefined as a planetoid. Now that Pluto is not considered to be a planet, the outer planets are the same as the gas giants, and the inner planets are the same as the rocky planets. (Pluto was thought to be a rocky planet, or, at least, not a gas giant.


What characteristics do all outer planets share?

The outer planets consist of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. These are all gas giants and, to our knowledge, none of them have a solid surface. They all also are significantly larger than Earth.
