How much mass do Planets have?
It depends on the planet. Some planets, like Jupiter, are made from gas. While others, like Earth, are rocky planets.
What are the planets inner and outer are divide into?
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, while the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The division is based on their proximity to the Sun, with the inner planets being closer and the outer planets being further away.
By what criteria are the planets placed into either the Jovian or terrestrial group?
Planets are categorized as either Jovian or terrestrial based on their composition and physical characteristics. Jovian planets are large gas giants with no solid surface, while terrestrial planets are rocky with a solid surface. Jovian planets are typically further from the sun than terrestrial planets.
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 do the inner planets have more of the lighter elements like hydrogen and helium gas like the outer planets do?
The Sun and its planets formed form a huge cloud (disk) of dust which contained both light and heavy elements, but there were more light elements (hydrogen) than heavy. As the disk coalesced into the sun and planets the areas close to the young sun were too hot (heated by the sun) for the light elements to condense and settle onto the young inner planets which are therefore rocky, while the outer planets being further from the sun did accumulate the lighter and more volatile elements. However in the centers of the giant planets there are rocky (heavy) cores.

Why are Neptune Jupiter Saturn and Uranus called the ringed planets?
They are called ringed planets because they are ringed planets. They have rings round them. The ones round Saturn were first noticed by Galileo and can be seen in a small telescope, while the others' rings were only discovered from photos taken from close range by spacecraft.
What two planets are next to Mars?
The two planets that are the closest to Mars is Earth and Jupiter.
What does the inner and outer planets have incomon?
Both inner and outer planets are part of our solar system and orbit around the sun. However, inner planets are rocky and located closer to the sun, while outer planets are gas giants and located further away.

Which planets are close to Jupiter?
Saturn and Mars are very close, Mars is the closest as it is 551 million km away!
What is the region of the sky where the moon and planets appear?
The Moon, Sun and planets all appear in a strip of sky called the ecliptic. It is a plane defined by the plane of the Earth's orbit and the Sun is always on the ecliptic, while the Moon and planets stay close to it.

Why do some planets rotate clockwise while others rotate counterclockwise?
Probably because an asteroid knocked them into spinning that way.

Are the planets related to geography?
No. Geography is the study of Earth, covering landscapes and environments among others. Astronomy is the study of planets.
