Are the planets with rings inner or outer planets?
Only the four outer planets have rings. The four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) dont have rings.
Which planets have densities similar to earth?
The four inner, terrestrial or rocky planets all have similar densities, much higher than the four outer gas giant planets (though the outer planets are much larger and more massive).
How are the four outer planets alike?
The four outer planets are all of the type astronomers call "gas giants", and have no hard, rocky surface per se. The inner planets are all solid rocky "terrestrial" planets. Also, the four outer planets are larger in size and lesser in density than the inner planets.
Are the Jovian planets outer planets or inner?
There are four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) and four outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune). So there are an equal number of inner and outer planets.
How does the length of a day on the inner four contrast with the length of a day on the outer four?
The inner four terrestrial planets have shorter days compared to the outer four gas giants. This is because the inner planets rotate more quickly due to their smaller size and proximity to the sun, while the outer gas giants rotate more slowly because of their larger size and distance from the sun.
Are the planets with rings inner or outer planets?
Only the four outer planets have rings. The four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) dont have rings.
What is the inner and outer planets and contrast the two groups of planets?
The four inner, rocky planets are also known as the terrestrial planets. These are; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The four outer gas giant planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The inner planets are smaller and have a higher average density. The outer planets are much larger, but have no real surface - just atmosphere that gets thicker as you travel inwards. The outer planets all have a ring system (the inner planets dont) while the outer planets have captured a lot more natural satellites or moons than the inner planets.

What are the main characteristics of outer planets?
The four outer planets - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune - are gas giants. Compared to the four inner planets:* They are much larger. * They have a much larger mass. * They consist mainly of gas. No surface where you could stand on. * The have a fairly low density.
Are the Jovian planets outer planets or inner?
There are four inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) and four outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune). So there are an equal number of inner and outer planets.
How does the length of a day on the inner four contrast with the length of a day on the outer four?
The inner four terrestrial planets have shorter days compared to the outer four gas giants. This is because the inner planets rotate more quickly due to their smaller size and proximity to the sun, while the outer gas giants rotate more slowly because of their larger size and distance from the sun.
How do planets farther from the sun differ from that planets that are closer to the sun?
The four outer planets are gas giants - they are much larger than the four inner planets, and they consist mainly of gas - they don't have a surface on which you can stand.
Characteristics of outer planets?
The four outer planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are all much larger than the inner planets. These outer planets have no real surface, they are composed mainly of Hydrogen and helium gas, which gets thicker and thicker until the extreme pressures closer to the core of the planets change the state of the gases. The outer planets are much colder than the inner planets due to their distance from the sun, they take much longer to orbit the sun due to this distance. The outer planets are a lot larger than the inner planets.
Are the outer planets and dwarf plants much bigger than the inner planets and dwarf planets?
Yes. The four inner planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars and smaller than the four outer planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Earth is largest inner planet, and Neptune is the smallest outer planet. Neptune is around 14 times larger in terms of diameter than the Earth. The dwarf planets are all smaller than any of the actual planets.
How is Earth a inner planet?
The Solar System has two major groups of planets - the four inner planets which include Earth, and the four outer planets. Each of these groups shares certain characteristics with one another. Mainly, the outer planets are gas giant - i.e., they are much larger than Earth, and they are made up mainly of gas.
Why are some planets referred to as outer planets?
The planets in the solar system can be sorted to two types: inner planets that are the four closer planets to the Sun, which are rocky and small. And outer planets which are the four other planets which are gaseous and very large.
