Which planets gas might be close to the amount on earth?
If by gas you mean an atmosphere, there are no planets with an atmosphere anywhere similar to Earth.
What are two similarites among the inner planets?
The inner planets are rocky, loaded with minerals, and are fairly warm. The outer planets are all gas giants . . . they are made of substances not much different than our clouds. They are very, very cold.
Why do you think wind speeds on the gas giant planets are so much greater than the wind speeds on earth?
Probably the biggest reason is that there is no land to slow down the wind. Also, wind is caused by differences in air pressure, which are caused by uneven heating and cooling. The gas giants have not only the heat from the sun but also their own internal heat. Jupiter is so massive that it generates more heat than it receives from the sun.
What is another name for the outer planets which describes their physical characteristics?
These four planets are known as the 'Gas Giant' planets.
How many planets are known as the gas giants?

How do the four rocky planets compare to the four gas giants size?
All four rocky planets are much smaller than gas planets.
What are the four outer planets called?

The planets known as gas giants include jupiter uranus?
The planets known as gas giants do include Jupiter and Uranus, as well as Saturn and Neptune.
How do the four rocky planets compare to the four gas giants in size?
All four rocky planets are much smaller than gas planets.
Are gas giants a surface type?
Yes because the four outer planets,Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are gas planets. They are known for their gas. The outer planets (closer to the sun) have rocky surfaces. So the outer planets have gas surfaces
Another name for the inner planets?
The inner planets are also known as the terrestrial planets. They include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, which are characterized by solid, rocky surfaces and relatively high densities compared to the outer gas giants.
