Why do planets farthest from the sun have different composition than the planets closest to the sun?
Because as the planets formed form the disk of material left over after the Sun had formed (and started to heat up), the heat meant that only the rock component could stick together close to the sun, while further out the more volatile components could condense. The inner planets are therefore predominantly rocky, while the outer planets are gaseous.
