Separates the inner planets from the outer planets?

The asteroid belt separates the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) from the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune). The inner planets are smaller, denser, and rocky, while the outer planets are larger, gaseous, and have rings.


What divides the inner planet and the outer planet?

The asteroid belt, located between Mars and Jupiter, divides the inner terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) from the outer gas giant planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). The inner planets are smaller, rockier, and closer to the sun, while the outer planets are larger, gaseous, and farther from the sun.


What is a good way of drawing the solar system and can you put the planets in order from the sun out?

A good way to draw the solar system is to start with the sun in the center, then draw the planets in order from closest to farthest away: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. You can add the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and include the dwarf planet Pluto beyond Neptune for more accuracy.

Does Neptune have a gravitational pull on Mercury?

Yes, every object in the universe has a gravitational pull on every other object. However, Neptune is so much smaller than the Sun, and so much farther away, that Neptune's gravitational pull on Mercury will be unmeasurably small.

Is there a planet in the asteroid belt?

There is a "dwarf planet", Ceres, the largest object in the Asteroid Belt, and a great number of smaller rocks. (Prior to its reclassification, Ceres was referred to as the largest asteroid.)


Why are some planets referred to as the inner planets and others as the outer planets?

Planets closer to the Sun, such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are referred to as the inner planets. Planets farther away from the Sun, such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are referred to as the outer planets. This classification is based on their distance from the Sun within our solar system.

No. Neptune is far larger than any moon in the solar system. The only planet smaller than Titan is Mercury.


How many planets are bigger than Earth?

Pluto is not a planet so that would be Mercury is 13.72% smaller. Venus is 0.23% smaller. Mars is 9.42% smaller. So that means 3 planets are smaller than Earth.
