Difference between inner planets and outer planets
Answers
Inner Planets:
* Small and Rocky
* Solid surface
* Low mass
* High density
* close to sun
* closely shaped orbits
* Few moons
* No rings
* Terrestrial planets
* Mercury, venus, earth, mars
Outer planets
* large and gaseous
* No solid surface
* High mass
* Low density
* Far from sun
* Separated orbits
* Many moons
* Many rings
* Gas faints
* Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
INNER PLANETS - Mercury, Venus, Earth
OUTER PLANETS - Mars Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune
___________________________
INNER PLANETS - 1. These are small-sized planets.
OUTER PLANETS - 1. These are huge in size.
____________________________
INNER PLANETS - 2. These are terrestrial planets like Earth (made of rocks and have metallic cores).
OUTER PLANETS - 2. These are giants gaseous planets (made mainly of hydrogen and helium gases, and not of rocks and metals).
____________________________
INNER PLANETS - 3. They have greater density.
OUTER PLANETS - 3. They have smaller density.

INNER PLANETS - 4. Compared to the much larger Outer Planets, the Inner Planets spin quite slowly.
OUTER PLANETS - 4. All of the Outer Planets spin quicker than the Inner Planets.
____________________________
INNER PLANETS - 5. Because they are quite close to the Sun, the Inner Planets orbit the Sun quickly.
OUTER PLANETS - 5. The Outer Planets have a much greater distance to cover to complete an orbit, so they orbit the Sun slowly.
____________________________
INNER PLANETS - 6. None of the Inner Planets have rings orbiting them
OUTER PLANETS - 6. All the Outer Planets have rings orbiting them.
____________________________
INNER PLANETS - 7. They have a few moons (natural satellites) orbiting them.
OUTER PLANETS - 7. All the Outer Planets have a large number of moons orbiting them.
