Inner planets are those that are closest to the sun. Mars is reddish due to weathered rocks on its surface that contain iron oxide, planet Earth can support life, Venus has a surface covered by an atmosphere that is full of dense clouds and Mercury has many craters and a weak magnetic field.

∙ 12y agoEach of the four inner planets have a clearly defined terrain. They are different to the gas planets, which don't have a clear solid surface. The inner planets are also much smaller and less massive, yet have a higher density than the outer planets. The inner planets have fewr moons due to their smaller mass and size. As they are closer to the sun, they orbit the sun in less time and are also warmer.

What are the characteristics of outer and inner planets?
The inner planets are the first 4 planets from the sun, they are made of rock. After the in er planets is an asteroid belt. Behind the belt are the 4 outter planets. They are made of gas and are called "gas giants". These are called outter planets.

The inner planets are all rocky planets, whereas the outer planets are gas giants. Pluto is the exception. The outer planets also make 99% of our planets and are outside the asteroid belt.
