the inner planets are closest to the sun and the outer planets are farthest from the sun { Answered by a grade 4 student}
There is a rather large asteroid belt between Mars (the last inner planet) and Jupiter (the closest outer planet.) Mostly, however, the terminology refers to the vast difference in orbit radius between the inner and outer planets.
Mars is an inner planet, located between Earth and the asteroid belt. The inner planets are rocky and terrestrial, while the outer planets are gas giants.
inner planet
Venus is one of the "Inner" planets, along with Mercury, Earth and Mars. The "Outer" planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (which has recently been stripped of it's true "planet" status!) Inner planets are also known as "Terrestrial Planets" because they have a rocky surface. The difference between inner and outer planets is there location within or beyond the asteroid belt. Of course, inner planets are within the belt, while the outer ones are beyond the belt.
Saturn is an outer planet. The outer and inner plantes are divided by the asteroid belt.
Inner, cause there is a ring of asteroids between Mars and Jupiter so therefore that makes it an inner planet & not an outer planet.

distances are greater between outer planets
There isn't any relatonship between the orbital distance of the planet, and its rotational speed.
The inner core is a solid, and the outer core is a liquid.
Inner.

It is an inner planet.
Saturn is an outer planet. The outer and inner plantes are divided by the asteroid belt.

Mercury is the innermost planet. Therefore, it would be an inner planet.
