The inner planets are having few or no moons at all, and the planet are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. And the puter planets are part of the sun mass and have no solid surface, they are also called the gas giants, and the planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. ----------------------------------------------------------ps. hi:) It's thought that during the solar system's formation, when the planets were still proto-planets, the sun "switched on" and the solar wind blew away the lighter, gaseous component of the inner planets, leaving the heavier core. The outer gas planets are too far away to have this happen.

The inner planets, are much smaller than the outer planets. Also, all of the outer planets have a gas surfase, meaning you could no stand on them. And, none of the inner planets have rings, however, all of the outer planets do.

INNER- the planets have no rings, not as many moons as the outer planets, big liquid core, smaller than outer planets, rocky craters, volcanoes, closer to the sun, and hotter.

OUTER- the planets have many rings, many moons, gaseous, larger than inner planets, small solid core, hydrogen & helium atmosphere, liquid "ocean" under atmosphere.

hope this helps!

You could compare them by: * size * mass * volume * ability to support life * atmospheric features * diameter * surface features * temperature * etc.

Inner planet - closer to the Sun, made of rock and metals, no rings and few moons

Outer planet - farther from the Sun, made of gas, has rings and many moons.

The inner planets are a lot closer to the sun than the outer planets and the outer planets takes a lot longer to revolve around the sun and most of the outer planets are called gas giants.

The outer planets are larger and less dense than the inner ones. The outer ones are gas giants, composed almost entirely of gas, while the terrestrial planets are small, rocky worlds.
