What else can I help you with?
Are the outer planets made of gases?
YES
What are the giant outer planets made mostly made out of?
Gases
Why did the outer planets not lose there lighter gases in the atmosphere?
The outer planets, such as Jupiter and Saturn, have strong gravitational fields that enable them to retain lighter gases like hydrogen and helium. Their greater mass and size create a deeper gravitational well, which makes it difficult for these gases to escape into space. Additionally, their colder temperatures allow these gases to remain in a gaseous state rather than escaping as they might in warmer environments. This combination of strong gravity and low temperatures helps maintain their thick atmospheres.
What are the outer planets sometimes called except Pluto?
The Outer Planets are called Jovian Planets!
What gases do the outer planets consist of?
The outer planets primarily consist of hydrogen and helium. They also contain trace amounts of other gases like methane, ammonia, and water vapor. Each outer planet has a unique composition and varying amounts of these gases.
Why do outer planets not lose their gases?
They are massive enough to have a strong gravitional field which stops the gases escaping.
Why are outer planets made of gas?
Outer planets are made of gas because they formed far from the sun where it was cooler, allowing volatile gases like hydrogen and helium to condense and accumulate. The enormous gravitational forces of these planets then captured and retained these gases, preventing them from escaping into space.
What keeps gases from escaping into outer space?
The Earth's atmosphere is held in place by its gravity. Gravity pulls gas molecules towards the surface of the planet, preventing them from escaping into outer space. Additionally, the Earth's magnetic field also plays a role in protecting the atmosphere by deflecting solar wind and preventing it from stripping away the gases.
Are the inner and outer planets different?
The inner planets are all rocky planets. The outer planets are completely made up of gases. The inner planets are much smaller than the outer planets.
Are the outer planets made of gases?
YES
Could you land on the outer planets?
No. The outer planets do not have solid surfaces. Those planets are made of gases held together by gravity.
How do the inner planets diffrer from the outer planets?
the inner planets made up of rocks while the outer planets are made up of gases and liquids.
What is a characteristic of all outer planets?
The outer plants are made out of gases mostly.
What force keeps the outer planets together?
Gravity and inertia.
How are the compositions of the inner planets and outer planets different?
A basic, simplified answer is: The inner planets are mainly rock with iron cores. The outer planets are mostly gas, or liquefied gases.
What outer planets don't have gases?
They are all made of gas
The outer planets are made of what two gases?
Helium and hydrogen =|
