How do the surface materials of the inner and outer planets differ?
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have rocky surfaces composed of silicate minerals and metals. The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have gas surfaces, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. Additionally, outer planets may have icy surfaces due to the presence of water and other ices.
What make up the surface of the outer planets?
Very little is known about the make up of the surface of the outer planets. The outer planets are generally referred to as gas giants. While most of them are made up of mostly gasses, it is is believed that their cores are made up of liquified heavy metals.
What is the difference between terrestial planets and outer planets?
terrestrial are planets that are the inner planets since there are made up of rock. but on the other hand. the outer planets are the gas giants. or the outer planets. they are made up of various gasses.
Why are the inner planets different to the outer planets?
The inner planets are all considered rocky planets in that under atmospheric layers, they have a rocky surface. The outer planets are made of gas and liquid, and are called gas giants. They have no solid surface. Also, all the outer planets have rings while the inner planets do not.
Why are inner planets also called rocky planets?
The inner planets, except earth, are made up of rocks. They have a hard surface. The earth would be one of these except we have water. The outer planets are gas giants and do not have a solid surface.
Which of the outer planets has a surface more similar to the inner planets than to the outer planets?
Neptune has a surface more similar to the inner planets than to the other outer planets. It is primarily composed of rock and ice, similar to the composition of the inner planets, whereas the other outer planets are predominantly gas giants.
What makes the inner planets different from the outer planets?
The inner planets are small and rocky, the outer planets are much larger and have no solid surface, they are called the gas giants.
How do the surface materials of the inner and outer planets differ?
The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have rocky surfaces composed of silicate minerals and metals. The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have gas surfaces, primarily composed of hydrogen and helium. Additionally, outer planets may have icy surfaces due to the presence of water and other ices.
Why do the outer planets spin faster than the inner ones?
The outer planets are composed mostly of gases, which do not have a solid surface like the inner planets. This lack of solid surface allows the outer planets to rotate more quickly, as there is less resistance for their rotation. Additionally, the outer planets have more mass, which also contributes to their faster rotation.
What make up the surface of the outer planets?
Very little is known about the make up of the surface of the outer planets. The outer planets are generally referred to as gas giants. While most of them are made up of mostly gasses, it is is believed that their cores are made up of liquified heavy metals.
Are gas giants a surface type?
Yes because the four outer planets,Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are gas planets. They are known for their gas. The outer planets (closer to the sun) have rocky surfaces. So the outer planets have gas surfaces
What is the surface of the outer planets made of?
it is made up of gas and liquids.
What outer planets have a surface of slushy water and ammonia?
Neptune
What are 3 differences between the outer and inner planets?
The inner planets are small, the outer planets are huge in comparison.The inner planets have rocky surfaces, the outer planets are gas giants.All of the outer planets have rings. None of the inner planets does.All of the outer planets have several moons, some of them quite large.
What characteristics set the inner planets apart from the outer planet and name the outer planets?
The inner planets are all rocky planets, whereas the outer planets are gas giants. Pluto is the exception. The outer planets also make 99% of our planets and are outside the asteroid belt.
What do you call the four outer planets in our solar system?
They are called the "outer planets." But also the "gas giants" because they all have thick atmospheres and no accessible surface.
Inner an outer planet similarities?
The inner and outer planets are The same because The Inner planets are not made out of gas The outer planets are bigger than inners The outer planets are the coldest The Inner planets are rocky The inner planets are terrestrial The outer planets can't support life The inner planets have iron cores The outer are the furthest from the sun The outer planets haveno rocky surface
