Inner v.s Outer Planets
How are they similar?
-
All the planets, except for Uranus, Mars, and Venus have retrograde motion which is a similarity that is not dependent on size or composition. It is merely dependent upon view point.
All the planets have atmospheric systems, like the Great Red spot on Jupiter or Venus’ sulfuric acid laced lightning storms.
-
How are they different?
-Unlike the outer planets, which have many satellites, the inner planets, Mercury and Venus do not have moons, Earth has one, and Mars has two.
-
The outer planets like Jupiter and Saturn have numerous amount of planetary rings while inner planets don't.

Inner Planets :
-The four innermost smallest planets of our solar system (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) are called the “terrestrial” planets.
-The four inner planets are called "terrestrial planets" because their surfaces are solid (and, as the name implies, somewhat similar to Earth.)
-The inner planets are made mostly of silicate rocks and metals, with solid surfaces and atmospheres that range from thick (on Venus) to very thin (on Mercury).
