What is the term for the greatest distance between two planets?
Two planets are at their greatest separation when they are on opposite sides of the Sun. When a planet is at its greatest separation from the Earth the planet is said to be at superior conjunction. It cannot be seen until it has separated out from the Sun, which usually takes a few weeks at least.
Is the distance between inner planets less or greater than the distance between the outer planets?
The inner planets are closer together than the outer ones.
Used to tell the distances between cities or planets?
The speed of light is normally used to tell the distance between planets. The distance between cities is measured in miles.
Can inferior planets undergo retrograde motion?
The two inner planets Mercury and Venus move in retrograde motion (east to west along the ecliptic) between their time of greatest distance from the Sun (elongation) to the east as an evening star and their greatest elongation west as a morning star.
Which two neighboring planets have the greatest distance between them?
The two neighboring planets with the greatest distance between them is Neptune and Uranus. This happens when they are at the opposite sides of the Sun at approximately. They are 4500 million miles away from each other.
What is the relationship between a planets distance from the sun and distance between planets?
If two planets are in orbits with radii of R1 and R2, the distance between them varies from R2-R1 to R2+R1.

What is the distance from the planets?
the distance from the planets is 6.5 million miles between each planet.
Is the distance between inner planets less or greater than the distance between the outer planets?
The inner planets are closer together than the outer ones.
How does the distance between the inner planets differ from the distance between the outer planets?
The distance between the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) is comparatively smaller than the distance between the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) in our solar system. The inner planets are closer to the Sun and each other, while the outer planets are much farther apart due to the gap between the terrestrial and gas giant planets.
Is the distance between inner planets less than or greater than the distance between the outer planets?
The inner planets are closer together than the outer ones.
What is the effect of the gravitational force between two planets when the distance is three times apart?
The gravitational force between two planets decreases with the square of the distance between them, according to Newton's law of universal gravitation. If the distance between the two planets is increased to three times their original distance, the gravitational force becomes one-ninth of what it was at the original distance. This means that as the distance increases, the gravitational attraction between the planets weakens significantly.

The speed of light is normally used to tell the distance between planets. The distance between cities is measured in miles.
Can inferior planets undergo retrograde motion?

Are distances between the outer planets less than the distance between the inner planets?
No. They are much greater.
