Answer:

The inner planets are closer to the Sun and are smaller and rockier. The outer planets are further away, larger and made up mostly of gas. The inner planets (in order of distance from the sun, closest to furthest) are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

The farther the planet is from the sun, the longer its year.

the outer planets take longer to orbit the sun than the inner planets do. outer planets take longer to orbit the Sun because the gravitational pull is weaker as shown in the inverse square law. Also the outer planets are farther away meaning they have more distance to cover in their orbit.
