'Inner planets' are traditionally defined as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
This is because of a vast difference in orbital distances separating 'Inner' planets from the 'Outer' planets.
It has been theorized that the Asteroid Belt, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, is the remains of a fifth inner planet that was destroyed by collisions with other minor 'Planetoids' or asteroids. and earth is cool

Venus is one of the "Inner" planets, along with Mercury, Earth and Mars. The "Outer" planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (which has recently been stripped of it's true "planet" status!) Inner planets are also known as "Terrestrial Planets" because they have a rocky surface. The difference between inner and outer planets is there location within or beyond the asteroid belt. Of course, inner planets are within the belt, while the outer ones are beyond the belt.
