Depth of the atmosphere. Gas planets have the thickest and largest of atmospheres. Below gas planets atmospheres are pools of hydrogen or in some cases volatile ices that form in a giant ocean above the surface. It's estimated that Jupiter's rocky surface is only about the size of three Earths but the bloated atmosphere makes for most of the planet.

What separates the inner rocky planets from the outer gas planets?
The main factor that separates the inner rocky planets from the outer gas planets is their composition and distance from the Sun. The inner rocky planets, including Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are closer to the Sun and have solid surfaces made primarily of rock and metal. The outer gas planets, like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are located farther from the Sun and are composed mostly of gases and liquids, with no solid surface.

How do the four rocky planets compare to the four gas giants size?
All four rocky planets are much smaller than gas planets.
What is a common feature of inner planets?
Inner planets, or terrestrial planets, are characterized by their solid rocky surfaces and close proximity to the sun. They tend to have thin atmospheres and lack the presence of rings or many natural satellites.
Are Jupiter and Saturn rocky planets or gas giants?
Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants, not rocky planets. They are primarily made up of gases like hydrogen and helium and do not have a solid surface like rocky planets such as Earth.

How are the planets classifications as a terrestrial plaent or gas giant generally related to their densities?
Rocky planets are denser than gas giants.
Why are the inner planets known as the rocky planets?
they are rocky and have terrain areas the rest of the planets are all gas

Is mercury a gas or a rocky terrestrial?
Mercury is a rocky planet. The inner planets (first four planets from the sun) are rocky planets (which means that you could stand on them) and are the smallest. While the outer planets (last four planets from the sun) are gas planets and the biggest.
What type of planet is rocky or gaseous?
The "terrestrial planets" are rocky and the "gas giant planets" are gaseous.
How do the four rocky planets compare to the four gas giants in size?
All four rocky planets are much smaller than gas planets.
What in your solar system separates terrestrial planets from gas planets?
What separates them is between Mars and Jupiter. It's called the asteroid belt.
Are Jupiter and Saturn rocky planets or gas giants?
Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants, not rocky planets. They are primarily made up of gases like hydrogen and helium and do not have a solid surface like rocky planets such as Earth.
