The differences between the Inner and Outer planets
The inner planets are the closest to the sun
Theses planets consists of mercury, Venus,mars, and Earth
These planets are terrestrial meaning they are made of mostly rock
They the four smaller planets of the solar system
They are separated by the solar system's asteroid belt
Mercury is the smallest of the planets
It takes88 days to orbit the sun and 100 days to revolve
It has a very strong magnetic field as well
Venus takes is about the same size as earth but is covered by clouds causing a greenhouse effect making it the hottest planet
Earth is the only planet with life
This is because we have water on our planet
The outer planets are located after the asteroid belt
They outer planets are also known as the Jovian planets
They have the most moons in the solar system
They are also called gas giants due to their composition
They have small rocky cores at the center
Jupiter is the largest of these planets and is completely made of gas
It has distance 5.2 AU, 11.8 years for it revolve around the sun, one day is 9 hours and 50 minutes, 11.2 x the diameter of Earth, 318 x the mass of Earth, 1.36 g/cc or density
It is mostly made of hydrogen and helium
They have huge magnetic fields allowing them to have very large and bright auroras.
Jupiter and Neptune both have huge storm activity an their surface
Saturn is the planets with the largest ring system
9.54 AU, 29.5 year orbital period, 10 hours and 13 mins, 9.5 x Earth in diameter, 95 x more mass, has density of 0.69 g/cc
Neptune and Uranus can be considered ice planets because they are made of ice
Neptune has a 30.1 AU, Orbital period of 164.8 years, rotation of 16 hours 6 minutes, diameter 3.4 x earth, mass 17.5 x earth, density 1.6 g/cc
Uranus has a 19.2 AU, 84 year orbital period, 17 hours and 56 minute rotation, 4 x diameter of Earth, 14.5 x the mass, 1.3 g/cc
