These are the four outer gas giant planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are all much larger than the inner planets, they all have a similar composition (gaseous atmospheres, mainly of Hydrogen and Helium) and they each have many moons and a ring system. None of the inner planets have a ring system and there are only three moons in total for the four inner planets (one for Earth and two in orbit around Mars).

What are three ways that the inner planets are different from the putter planets?
#1 The Inner Planets are rocky, with a thin atmosphere. The Outer Planets are Gas Giants. #2 The Inner Planets are closer together, and nearer the Sun. The Outer Planets are much further apart and further from the Sun. #3 The Inner Planets orbit the Sun much more quickly; 2 years at a maximum. The Outer Planets orbit the Sun much more slowly; 11 years at a minimum. #4 With the exception of Earth and Mars, the Inner Planets do not have natural satellites. The Outer Planets have multiple satellites. #5 The Inner Planets do NOT have 'rings'. The Outer planets, notably Saturn have concentric rings. #6 The Inner Planets are separated from the Outer Planets by the Asteroid belt.

What 3 ways do inner planets differ from outer planets?
The inner planets are smaller and rockier than the outer planets which are made mostly of gases. Plus they are on different sides of the asteroid belt.
